Hello coworkers!
I got some coding time in this weekend and fixed up a bunch of bugs. Next up I'm going to try and get some basic spectator camera working, or maybe tackle two handed box interactions. Whichever seems like it will progress faster.
We had a mini-launch party this weekend and everybody had a lot of fun playing. It continued to highlight how much people want use two hands to grab boxes, so I definitely want to get that in. This patch does fix a major bug that that caused problems when people used two hands to close the box.
Here are the patch notes:
- Made manager speak better, but he stills gets mixed up occasionally.
- Made tutorial skip lines if you go through the actions fast.
- added some color to scoreboard.
- improved box lid animations.
- fixed graphical error with hand opacity.
- fixed bug with hand being in solid mode after making a gesture.
- fixed bug where a box could get stuck to a hand if you try to grab the box with two hands. Still need to implement two handed grabbing, just use one hand per object for now please!
