Don't You Love It Here? by __RRINGO__
rringo.itch.io
"Don't You Love It Here?" is being made explicitly outside of genre limits, but would best be described as an open-world immersive life-sim sandbox with RPG elements. From a first person view, live out your life in this reactive town inspired by suburban Texas.

My goal for the first demo release is to get the NPCS and world to a functional and autonomous state. Nail down the life sim aspects of the game before start going into the RPG side of things and really build out the world in my head

The new Fable game looks interesting. I've never played any of the games but if it wasn't clear enough I have a fascination with simulated worlds, I might try them out sometime

The NPCs now get hungry and seek out food (and shit). Next bodily function to add is sleeping

Done with optimizing for now, the performance still isn't amazing but it's much better. I may get back to it eventually but honestly I've kinda accepted the game won't run perfect at times. Now I can start working on the interesting stuff again

I finally took the time to get rid of all errors. I'm free

The biggest bottleneck in the game right now is by far the animations, been working on optimizing them and adding LODs. Once this is done I'll be able to get back to actually expanding the game

I've wanted to do a road trip killing-spree game for years, but never had an idea compelling enough to justify itself. Driving alone on the highway stopping only to whack some people is a pretty inherently unappealing and boring concept but I got some ideas now
Just finished watching Badlands (the 70s movie not the new Predator). Amazing film, great performance from Martin Sheen. This reignited an idea I've had bouncing around my head since before DYLIH

Just found this post and now I think I gotta watch it. Everything I've seen from Takashi Miike is batshit insane in a way I don't see often, he goes places that most refuse to. Ichi The Killer is a big creative influence for me

It's hard trying to do a scathing satire of modern American life when life itself is already parody. I hope this game remains a hypothetical

The album's really wormed its way into my brain, Die Alone and Dead To Me have been stuck in my head
My copy of Foetus' new record Halt has arrived. I really liked it, it's very cinematic and possibly his most introspective album. I love the rock and metal songs, reminds me of 2000s metal. It's a fitting end to his run of main Foetus albums

Haven't gotten much programming done the last couple days, I ended up getting sick a 2nd time . I have been doing some writing and worldbuilding though. The fever fuels me, there are some wild things I have planned

I ended up optimizing the visuals instead, also put the guns on a brighter lighting layer and edited their textures a bit. I just started on the NPC revamp, I'm toying around with a tick system and may give them different lighting as well cause it's currently causing slowdown

It's now time to finally optimize the NPC AI
