Planning out the expedition feature.

#sketching #sketchbook #indiedev #IndieGame
four sketches of exploration of what a multi part expedition screen could look like. a stylized map showing three to four nodes, and the ability to launch an expedition to investigate further. Example: you need a ROV for underwter LIDAR mapping, then you discover not just the shripwrek but also a cave, which you scan in a second expedition. In the third expedition, you send a diving team and find an abandonned cold war submarine station.

Started integrating 3D buildings in game. Carefully adding assets and porting everything over from the blender scene to godot.

Note: lighting will eventually be baked 🫡 Probably going to bake the lighting in Blender using geometry nodes, or build a tool for […]

Electrolyzer level 1, by @khaleer_art

The hydrogen can be further stored in multi fuel tank, burned in the backup generator when the grid is down, or used directly by inter-island freighters in a fuel cell.

Sneak peek at the cool stuff @YannKervran has been working on using Dialogic.
"NinePatchrect for texts and changing boxes for textures for background."
That certainly looks like something we can use to style the UI.

Excited to dive into this more next year and […]

Sketching some more player characters. These are PNG avatars that the player picks from and is used in dialogue.
It does not affect gameplay, but there will be "archetype" specializations to pick from; engineer, metalworker, union leader, that provide bonuses […]

Here's another watercolor for expeditions; "super long bamboo delivery".

Description: Does not fit inside an ISO container. Customer is adamant that the bamboo not be reduced in length. We're the only shipping company willing to take the job.
Customer: The […]

The style for expedition illustrations will probably be centered about watercolor, which makes it effortless to do dramatic clouds emblematic of the sea of Hirwazh.

Medium: watercolor + digital (Touched up some sky values in procreate).

Found a great deal on books that are getting retired from the public library.
Among them, the legendary cours des Glénans on coast navigation.

This will be used as inspiration for events, expeditions, and UI style.

Two books on sailing and coastal motorboat permits laid open, showing a page with a topographical map, and tide height. The other book has colorful photos of islands and sailing ships.

@tracefree Joined us again to scout ahead of the expedition feature, and how we can nest conditions and rewards in the inspectors, so that game designers can make questlines and repeatable delivery contracts in the game.

The ALT text contains info from Rie for […]

screenshot of the website. buildings section, showing the scrapyard and backup generator, with descriptions of what they do. a warehouse building png. lowpoly handpainted pseudoPBR. Rie said about this screenshot "This is a super neat new feature in Godot 4.3: `@export_custom`. It lets you customize a lot about how the variable is handled internally and how it is displayed in the inspector. For example, this is how you add a suffix to an integer variable for added clarity. Just mentioning it so nobody's confused about what the code does later." Nested conditions and rewards on expedition. screenshot of Godot 4 inspector view.

@esklarski created an event bank and used event-audio plugin to call them from anywhere using:
EventAudio.play_2d( {trigger string} , null )

You can check out the plugin at: https://github.com/bbbscarter/event-audio-godot
