Hey everyone!
Huge thankyou to all my supporters new and all!
I've been at work on a bunch of stuff. It's been a bit scattered as I get the forrest environment working into the game as well as start the interiors for some of the stores.
As you can see most of the town stores are designed to be pretty simple. I realised an immediate problem is that you want to see what clothing you are going to purchase. Same for diapers or any customisation item. Currently "stores" are just icon images and they don't really tll you enough.
So I decided to try this idea of manequins. These are actually characters who are stationary, white and can wear any of the game clothing (same as you). This way you can see the item before you buy it.
I'm also leaning on the idea of only putting a few items in the store at a time but refreshing the avaliable items each day. That way you are encouraged to always check back and see if there is something you want to buy.
I've also started putting a quest and some characters in the woods. Basically there is an old capsite at one end and I thought it would be fun if this one was mostly empty during the day but had nighttime activities.
That's all for now. This week I'm working on getting a few more of the town store interiors into the game and starting to get them hooked up so you can buy things!
