This update revamps the customer satisfaction & skill system and replaces the gym character model with a completely new version!
This Update
The first thing you will see is a new and much improved character model. This is the first model supplied by Jord, a 3D artist and friend of mine, who will also be making all the character animations from now on. Some animations are still missing but will be added or replaced in future updates.
Next, the customer skills and exercise style system has been revamped. Customers now have 7 new skills and you can now decide much easier which of those to train. In addition to new skills, the customer satisfaction system has been revamped as well, replacing Thoughts with Needs. The new Needs feature gives a concise overview on a customer's needs, as well as how satisfied they are. Let me know what you think!
Furthermore, this update contains:
- New AI behaviour for using hygiene furniture such as toilets and showers
- A new barbell rack exercise machine
- Improve AI reliability and navigation.
- Improved building tools.
- Improved tutorials.
- Various balance changes and bug fixes.
What's Next?
The next big milestone is the Early Access release on November 23rd. The remaining time until then is spend on making improvements to existing features and fixing bugs that are in the backlog.
The first Early Access version will not contain a lot of new features compared to the demo version. However, as time moves on, more features and content will be added to the Early Access version.
For now that's it. I hope you will enjoy this update.
Have fun!
