Legs Update, Pub and New Car! #Week 24 (Patreon)
Content
Hello everyone!
Another week, another update! The livestream is happening right now on Twitch so probably come take a look - https://www.twitch.tv/terryjinx. Apologies for not doing more livestreams I really need to get back into that more often, I'll make that more of a priority in the future D: I think the main issue I've been having with livestreams is mostly creating more content that isn't already somewhat covered on patreon or Discord (and now I realise I actually have too much content to talk about, whelp...). I'll stop apologising now and just make sure I do more livestreams, sorry! >_<
Anyway, so finally we remade the pub... again lol. I think I wasn't fully happy with the old one (it just wasn't quite there, you know?) especially with the shading in various places but now it's looking much better! In the pub you can buy ready-made food so it will save you cooking at home, as well as various beverages that you can enjoy for unique moods that you'll only be able to get in the pub. There will be little arcade machines and we will hopefully be able to add mini-games into this that everyone can play :)
The character creation UI is getting some overall improvements because now we have added the legs it needs some minor adjustments. This didn't take too much work - was fairly straightforward. I did like the old UI but it was sort of very white and too bright - needs a bit more contrast so here we are! Btw it's still not 100% yet since we only really worked a day on this one so more adjustments will be made for spacing etc it's like 80% there though. The bones and such have been re-rigged in Unity so it should all be relatively fast now. With the addition of legs it means we can finally have shoes in the game which wasn't in originally - horray!
On the cars front I think we are now onto 3 cars in total. We have the Mini, Audi and the VW Golf. You can see their size comparisons there! Sorry they're all white, it is how we import it into the game to do auto-shading inside Unity for all the different colours people want D: I think we will be aiming for about 5 car models for the pre-alpha on the road and a couple of pubic service stuff (bus, taxi, garbage truck, postman, police car).
Also, there is an example of the different fences available at the moment. So now we have a couple of floor tiles as well as fences. It's a rather large catalogue of items that will be going into the game so over the next weeks and months I'll be showing everyone what we have made. A lot of variety is needed since we don't want to limit too much on the creative houses that can be made!
That's alllllll for this week and come join the live stream if you are able! :)
Much Love,
Terry
