No stream today! Busy week, need a rest day. I did manage to get a rough edit of a trailer thrown together. Soon!

Happy Halloween! I'm gonna be reading some public domain classic horror in my Halloween costume! On the list is Edgar Allen Poe, Carmilla by Le Fanu for all the vampire lesbians out there, and The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman! Come listen to spooky stories! www.twitch.tv/epicphoton

This playtest update represents the last 5 months of work. There's a TON of new stuff.

Water. Air. Fire. No wait, not fire. Gonna tackle some seaplane physics tweaks, then keep knocking other tasks off the list! www.twitch.tv/epicphoton

More work on the part condition system for Lakehopper! It's not enough to break things, gotta break them the right way! www.twitch.tv/epicphoton

Working on the condition system! What good is being able to replace parts if they never break down? Come watch me struggle with shaders! www.twitch.tv/epicphoton

Now that the rope/tie-down system is functional (but not pretty), time to finally add a refueling station! After that, there's more work to do on those ropes, and then I want to look at the part condition system again! Lots of work, lots of fun! www.twitch.tv/epicphoton

Improving game loading, adding plane recovery, and refueling! www.twitch.tv/epicphoton

You ever accidentally do a 10 hour dev stream and forget the "play games on Friday" part? Me neither. In related news, clouds are working and GORGEOUS! Gonna show off, work on loading stuff, more controls config, and whatever else I can get done in prep for a new playtest! www.twitch.tv/epicphoton

Hey look I figured a thing out, for real this time. Also doing more control config work if my brain allows! www.twitch.tv/epicphoton

It's the little things...
Working on a variety of little fixes for Lakehopper! www.twitch.tv/epicphoton

Lots of little things on the Lakehopper todo list! www.twitch.tv/epicphoton

Lakehopper news: Doing away with my unnecessary layered camera system lets me use more of Unity's HDRP effects, though they need much more tweaking. It's also basically more than doubled the game's performance. I'll work on more functional parts of the game tomorrow, but today I'll enjoy these:

So one of the assumptions I made early on seems to be entirely incorrect. Fixing that lets me use a lot more HDRP features, and now the game looks completely different (positive). Gonna do a lot of experimenting to see if we can't make all our dreams come true! www.twitch.tv/epicphoton

Time to do some Baba before I go on break! www.twitch.tv/epicphoton
