Implemented an offline play mode.

Need to write a design doc for translating server-side game data (movement speeds, characters, NPCs, etc) so all of this can be managed without a server.

Fixed some desync that occurred when players collided: positions are being snapped at the moment, so the networked player jumps around a little.

Road to public stress test:
- verbose logging (client/server)
- account management
- chat changes
- camera changes

Added to WoW2D's netcode was client prediction and server reconciliation. It's a bit rudimentary, but it's been tested on LiteNetLib w/ simulated packet loss and latency.

Looking to hire some pixel artists that can do a stylized/low-poly look, similar to WoW classic. Interested?

Implemented a game clock w/ ambient lighting. This was admittedly more difficult than I expected, even if it only took an extra ~hour or so to implement 🤷‍♂️

Time sped up for the sake of the video.

Working on some basic day/night fade in and out;

Some basic code which alters the Clear color of the entire Scene using a 0-1f Ambience value, and altering the Blue value of the clear color to give it some blue tint.

Modified the tile change code so one tile is changed at a time, ordered by ascending Y value... Still feels off, but much better than altering all of them at once.

Using Coroutines in #nez, I was able to get the tile color to change over time, but I'm unsure if this is a good look and feel for what should occur...

Ideally, tiles change their nutrient level over time based on their environment, surround plant life and weather. Any ideas?

Working on an Ecology management sim game. Getting tiles to set their nutritious 'Appreciation' value was a doozy x.x excuse the bad programmer art
