Dev Diary 101: Progress...ing (Patreon)

Hey mutants, how are you doing?

It's been a quiet few weeks as I continued working on Hoover Dam's dullest part - aligning hundreds of pieces that are used to display it in all its glory. It's all technical, time-consuming work. I change the art piece's XY offsets and then check inside Mapper if it's pixel-precise or needs more editing. Rinse and repeat.

Another thing that has been giving me slight headache is the creative/technical challenge on how to properly display isometric buildings along the Rim's rounded, curved shape. It needs to look as good, usable and realistic as it can. Also, the Prisoner's potential house is located there. I made sure the Dam follows real-life dimensions so we don't have much space to work with but I will do my best.

In other news, a total of five new Talking Heads were finished! Four for NPCs and one for our party companion, Alkaya. It's crazy to see that the game so far has 82 Talking Heads :D

Additionally, new original music is in the works for the Crater.

And finally, sfall has been updated to version 4.3.6.

I will try to go back and post more often if you guys don't find purely technical updates too dull. Let me know what you think.

Take care,
