Worked on the static effect for conversation startup and ComsTalk stuff a bit. Instead of wiping up, which I always thought looked weird, it slowly fades now. I did leave just a bit of the effect to give more of an analog feel to the communication.

A planet in orbit follows its delicate and mathematically perfect orbit to serene music. (First pass at planet gen! Wish I had gone with URP in the first place... had to hop over to it today and it was a pain).

Very much wish I had started with the URP for graphics in the first place... losing so many hours to converting. ^^;
All for the planet stuff, though. And this will allow me to have access to other cool aftereffects as well.

The scan menu exists in alpha form! Obviously much more polish to do here, but it's something. Also refined what buttons look like when deactivated a bit...

Had to scrap a bunch of work on the Scanning Menu today after realizing it wouldn't work. X|
It just be like that sometimes. It'll be cool when it's done, though! ^^

Getting back to work on the cockpit mode, and working on some of the menu systems now.... here's what it looks like from way outside the typical player view when some of them pop in and out.

Still a lot of boring internal work going on, but I'm figuring out what the scanning menu will look like in the cockpit as I swing back to work on that area of the game...

No media to share today, but as a little update, the short cut scene for New Game now exists in its beta form, and I’m now moving back to battle mechanics and CockpitUI work, including System Navigation.

Zap zap! Electricity is what ships run on, right? So this is probably a good thing? Look at all those good volts doing what they're supposed to!

I KNOW this doesn't seem a lot different than before, but the intentionality and power of the tools I'm using now are something more than just random values XD. The Jackalopes are the first race to have a voice mutation system that I would even classify as beta.

More work on the voice system. Learned a ton about synthesizers, and slowly going through data that looks like this, reworking it into something much more sane... Hope to have something good to listen to very soon!

Spent the last few days working on pre-cacheing assets to prevent places I had found where it would lag things visually... Not a lot of visuals to show from this unfortunately, but it will ensure the game is nice and smooth! Currently working on the New Game intro sequence...

Working on the Zoccoli writing script for their interstellar language of trade, Overspeak. This is my first time trying to make more traditional letters, and a script font, at that! It's definitely a bit tricker than I had anticipated!

Finished the language font for The Congregation! I'm really happy with how this one came out! I kind of wanted to make it fully tessellating, with all of the characters fitting vertically into one another perfectly, but there's no good way to do that.

Not a ton today! You can see that another working version of the new ship is in the game now, and I'm making more progress with controller integration/iconography, even if controls change, as I'm doing in the video.

Preview image for a member of The Congregation! This is a race based on bees/ants, and I really think they're a lot of fun! The look you see here will be a little different in the game since they are an energy race, and will be slightly transparent...

And the revamped Title Screen! This is by no means complete, but after some great mock-ups from Brendan and the new player ship he's made, this is way closer to a final for this screen! Very exciting!

There is a chance that She is not the final boss. There is also a chance that her ship is not the best ship. A possibility. She is, however, the lady that keeps popping up, no matter how much you wish she wouldn't...

So what if warp travel involved chasing a receding event horizon from the perspective of the traveler? Cool thought that might make it into the game... something I threw together which I think is neat here. ^^

Not a ton today to show, just a cool glitch logo animation and better quality sound capture of the sound sample that plays with it. Lots more cool stuff in the pipeline, though!

Minor thing, but a lot of people requested the ability to skip past startup animations for the game. This lets you do that either with Esc on mouse/keyboard or the south face button on controllers. Just a little convenience, tweak!

The player ship is much farther along than a few weeks ago, when I posted some of the initial sketches! This is one of the mockups from a version with a general shape that I'm really happy with!
