After getting the scroll bar working, I've now got button (keyboard only at the moment) menu nav working! The code is horrific, but works 😅

One step closer to getting full gamepad (and Steam Deck) support working properly 🎉

Finally got scrolling working! That was... painful. But it's one necessary step closer to getting button (ie, gamepad) menu navigation working properly. Here we have mouse scroll wheel, click & drag, click on the track plus drag, and WASD to navigate!

Dashboard is coming along 😀

Just got the "phone" widget in (cell towers are down, so phones have limited use), showing the distance to the next landmark (GPS is ok still)

Plus that classy 90's watch to display date/time 😏

More to come, but it's slow going...

Several late nights & a complete re-work of the travel UI code (long story), but I finally got image rotations working! Still got lots to do, artwork is nowhere near complete but it's nice to see *something* working 😆

and here's an earlier WIP video 😆

This ended up being incredibly aggravating, and there's room for improvement, but got lightning effects in now 🎉

I've also added a settings menu option to disable the white "flash" effect for accessibility (parallax can be disabled too)

Alright, I put the cloud transitions on the backburner for now & am getting to work on the rest of the weather implementation: next up was precipitation particle effects! Needs polish, but pretty happy with the results so far 😀

Hmm, I need some opinions on these cloud transitions... I've tried a few things like "sliding" in the next texture but it looked pretty bad IMO (note: the rapid fire change are for testing, weather in the game won't be quite so spastic) 🤔

This was painful to edit (videos are not my strong suit) but here's a sped up look at a day/night cycle test for Heat Retreat (moon cycles are still buggy, it's a WIP). Goal is to have realistic sunrise/set and moon cycles/phases (almost working!!)
