Update: Week 2 #Player House Video (Patreon)

Hello everyone! I hope you have been well ~

I've uploaded a short gif video of the current player house. A lot of things are unfinished, such as the furniture UI and how the interaction system should look so don't judge us too much! The programming side is finished in terms of the architecture and how the interactions work. However, the art side still needs significant improvement ~

Up until now we have been working with freelance artists which are not as involved with the project as we would like so we are looking to hire 2 full time artists to work on LSW which is very exciting for us as it should speed things up significantly. You may have noticed a few people join the Discord mentioning the art position, that's why they're coming! We are currently interviewing around 10 candidates and hope to have someone up and running by Monday. Once we have full time artists join the team, expect to see much more art and animations!

In other news, we have been working on the building walls. You guys may have noticed that it is not possible to see behind walls which poses a problem in build mode. We will be implementing a system where when the player is inside or behind a building, objects can be more easily visible. Cutting the walls up is simple coding, but it needs to look nice! In addition, we are adding sfx effects to some buttons as when the game is currently paused or being fast forwarded the shader effects are not as nice as we would want.  

I'm not sure if this is the ideal format for the updates as it's a bit lengthy in text (no one likes walls), but feel free to put any suggestions on anything at all!

Best wishes,

Terry
