Surprise! There is something BIG happening right now that will heavily affect my life and Seven Ducks Studios. I probably won't be able to post much this month. But don't worry, it's something great and #ElysianEclipse will benefit a lot from it! You'll see!

The notification system is here! It will show you when you get an item or when one of your actions fails. It will also be used to display achievement progress in the future.

A creature, looking like Spamton from Deltarune, standing in a red landscaoe. There is a stack of transparent UI elements visible in the center of the screen. All of them say "Pipis + 1" to notify you that a Pipis was added to your inventory. The last element in the stack is fading away.

Many different fish and other edible sea critters can now be obtained from fishing! Additionally, new cheats to instantly acquire items and lock the time of day have been added.

Who needs a fishing rod when you can just cast the line from your mouth? Fishing will be the first levelable skill and will also be used to test loot tables! And no, it won't have a minigame yet, lol.

#ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
Blorb fishing on a beach. The line is attached to his mouth. The target display says "Fishing - Press F to Reel In" and the action bar contains a fishing ability.

Wahahee! In V 0.5.3 it will be much easier to position body structure parts in 3D space, allowing you to make even more complex body shapes! ...and get sued by Nintendo.

I might also make a showcase video for this.

Take a look at the amazing leaves @roseae.bsky.social created for the plant editor! They will be abailable in a future version and can be applied to a variety of different foliage parts!

The plant editor prototype is a mess right now, but can already make some really cool stuff. I know there hasn't been an update release in a while, but I want to keep working on V 0.5.2 for a little longer.

A new part category, "Minerals" will be available in the hut and plant editors soon! It will allow you to decorate your creations with different rocks to better integrate them into the environment.

Worked a bit on the Quaxel Engine this weekend. It can render animated 2D characters in 3D space now!

I spent some time to create development tools, to help me better organize the project. Here for example, I can lookup groups of status effects to see by what abilities or environments they are caused.

Here is a more advanced example of the foliage shader, where it forms a bush that gets colored with a world-space gradient.

Here's a first look at one of the new foliage shaders! This is just a quick example. It can be used with different types of leaves and will support wind and color effects.

The editor will soon allow you to create high quality renders like these of your creatures, plants and buildings! You can combine this with the camera alignment key (C) to make them perfectly front-facing.

Visual effects have been added to the health bar! Instead of instantly updating, it now highlights the taken damage in a darker shade and will drain with an animation, similar to Dark Souls.

I'm having way too much fun with this right now. The editor is really coming together. The only thing I struggle with, is the limited part pool, but I'm planning to add a LOT more things to it.
A mostly green and orange hut. The bottom part is small, while the top part is much wider and held up by pillars. A beige and red hut with green roofs. It has a big main section with a smaller section on each side. They all have individual roofs. There are two brazier-like structures in front of the entrance.

Since the new shaders allow recoloring, I added paint regions to all the existing hut parts! I'll of course also do the same for the upcoming plant editor parts.

#ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
A blue and white colored hut with a dome. It is decorated with black spikes and several decals. Two light blue vases are standing next to the door.

I don't have much time to work on the update right now, so take this blurry picture of Flocki instead.
