Been hard at work nailing down the aesthetic for Captain McSpacebiff

Pretty happy with how it's come out

Shade towers make great points of interest

In any open world game anytime I see some sort of lookout/outpost in the distance I always want to go investigate

Comparing a monochromatic O.S. style UI vs a more traditional UI look

The O.S. style is interesting, but the immediate readability of items is much better in a more traditional UI

What to do...

Currently deciding how much of the game's lore/story to put in the demo

Balancing key story beats and pacing is a pretty tough call

Do we just give the general game premise OR do we delve further fleshing out the world

What to do...

Starting development of our demo level this week

It'll take a long time to make, but I'm excited to see how it turns out

Made a video about the custom object cell snap system we built

Over the last year this system has been a lifesaver when it comes to level design

Stuff like this may take some extra dev work in the beginning, but it will save you hundreds of hours

Seeing the glow of a BOOF'S sign cut through the sandstorm fog is oddly aesthetic

Been putting off working on Inventory since it completely breaks our current co-op

Even basic inventory mock-ups take forever...

Props to devs who've tackled co-op inventories, it's not for the faint of heart

Been working on some hover vehicle stuff for traversing the game world

Still pretty rough, but it's nice to finally have some vehicles working

Btw if you manage to capture an Artillery Cannon you can use it to launch yourself as a form of fast travel!

Soviet Moonion Artillery Cannons are designed to fire a wide array of shells

In many cases personnel shells were used for rapid frontline troop transport

While deadly for most humans, it is the main delivery system for Moonbot soldiers

Maybe try "more better" next time

During the planetary battles between the Soviet Moonion and Planet America these soviet bunkers were thought to be impenetrable

The Soviets would soon find that their once proud bunkers would become the source of their demise...

In defiance of physics & God himself this computer is still spinning

On an unrelated note does anyone know how to program proper physics?
