Hello, Patrons!

Took a few very-needed days off last week, but back on the grind! Lots of work being done on the quest scripting system, in tandem with the loot/object system which will spawn harvestable objects in the world (clams, edible plants, seaweed, different types of coral, shiny rocks, etc).

Unreal Engine also just released version 5.3 which has some major quality-of-life improvements for animation workflow, and a new feature which will allow us to edit character models and bone-structure directly in-engine, without having to constantly import/export between different programs. This feature would have saved dozens of hours in just the last month alone, so it's a pretty big deal! Porting the project files to 5.3 caused a few issues initially, but everything is up and running smooth now.

This summer seems to be a pretty exciting time for gamers, with a lot of flashy new releases and updates. I've been spending my free time with Starfield and loving every minute of it. Basically Bethesda's version of No Man's Sky 🚀. Let us know in the comments what you've been playing recently!
