12th June – Forest for the trees

Hello!

Tiyuri and Supernorn have been working on improvements to the forest parallax, and the difference is incredible. Take a look!

As an added bonus, Tccoxon is working on facial emotes. I think… I think he may have started poisoning the NPCs, you guys. When will it end? :'(

Two more examples of NPC facial emotes here and here.

10th June – Sunsettings!

Hello humans & others!

The programmer side is still working on combat/weapon changes and the colonization system.

The artist side is working on polishing all the planets to give them more life and beautifulness; more critters, new micro-dungeons on the surface of the garden planet, gorgeous sky colours and more!

That’s all for today.
See you tomorrow!

Au revoir!

 

9th June – Leap attack!

Hello!

We’ve continued to experiment with new weapon types and special abilities! This weapon’s secondary ability is a sort of automatic jump attack– note that the player isn’t manually jumping here!

Experiments like this have opened up the possibility for loads of new scripted weapon types– guns with flashlights attached, glove-type weapons, and umbrellas that allow you to float, to name a few!

What sort of abilities and attacks would you like to see?
