Yo kidz, screenshotsaturday time!

I threw together some existing assets, like some old storage yard parts, to make a raft for castaways you can rescue.
This one's probably fine on himself though, with them comfy couches.



@JobLeonard Dave is at GDC this week, so he'll probably answer pathfinding questions after. We'll probably make a blogpost about it too Smiley

We did it.
We can finally call ourselves a real building simulator.

Because we have the "Plop down a building" FX!  Gomez Gomez

Hey guys,
After long meetings full of discussion, we decided to ditch the whole "flooded world" idea.
Flotsam will now take place in a desert world.

Can I ask why there isn't a demo yet? You've been in production for more than 3 years. I would really like a chance to play a game that I love following the progress of so much.

Ehh, we don't really want to put out a "sub-par demo", as the game isn't fun yet in it's current state.
We'll probably wing it to alpha.

A while. But some info about an alpha soon though  Smiley




I've done a detailpass on the Desalinator. We found it to be too busy from up close AND from a distance. Resulting on overal bad readability. A detailpass was necessary.

Started out with a simple overpaint:



Reducing detail on the planks meant I had to make new models (which could also be re-used) that had crushed details. I made some floorboards in various sizes as well as ruined ones.



Removing detail is quite easy. (creating something with the right amount of detail is not, I have found)
Here's a pass that was readable from a glance:

Really interesting to see removal of detail and how you went about simplifying it, it looks great now.

Thanks!  Gomez I always think I might've wasted time on reworking things but in general it's what's going to make the game look perfectly balanced in the end. (art wise)


I forgot to show this breakdown too:





Basically, there's a different version of the Buoy with a crafted inside (pretty simple) that you can see when they salvage it on the water. (like the breakdown slider but with every hit of the drifter.

It all goes by pretty fast but it's still a more interesting sight than grabbing a full Buoy and smashing that whole thing in a small boat could ever be Smiley
