Testing, testing ... is this thing on?Man, it's been a while. Just look at all the dust that's gathered. Well to be honest I've never been much of a devlogger but yeah, I've been absent largely since May. If you follow me on Twitter you may've read I started having some trouble with my eye. Long story short, one day I noticed a slight loss of vision in one eye (not noticeable when looking with both eyes) which completely freaked me out. I went to the doctor and they performed several tests but concluded nothing solid. By now it's improved slightly or at least I think it has. I may be imagining it. After that I had a regular checkup and my blood results showed some signs the doctor wants to further investigate (low white bloodcell count). I try not to be worried but it's definitely affecting me and as a result I've been finding less motivation to work on my game. But I haven't stopped, no. Still chugging along
I'm still rewriting bits of the game in LUA, working on the dialog screen at the moment. After that I want to get back to the cave system (hopefully this weekend). The caves are generated and are present and even the entries (holes in the ground) have been added but they're not usable yet. Swimming is another task on my immediate ToDo list. Have been cleaning up UI in some places because it's the most common complaint, and for a reason. Managing equipment needs to be a simple drag'n'drop case.
Here are some more up-to-date screenshots:
New winter palette.Biggest development is that you can go out on the ice during the winter, use your pickaxe to break open a hole to fill up your flask or ice-fish. Feels good not be bound by some puny land when exploring. But yeah, don't go too far or you will find yourself in a drowning situation come spring
Deeper autumn colors
Radically cleaned up the overworld UI. It's now much easier to comprehend and looks better, too. Still missing a button or two though. Note the borderless menubar.Town screen has received a overhaul too getting rid of the sidebar but it's still too much WIP so I won't post it just yet.
I'll make another post about the cave generation another day. I hope this has been enough to convince I'm still going at it and haven't gone anywhere. Life has its ups and downs but I try to overcome them
Eigen, will you ever stream some day again?
Funny you should ask because I was actually planning on doing so this weekend.
