Christmas Update! #Week 26
Added 2020-12-26 16:00:06 +0000 UTCMerry Christmas everyone!!! I hope you're all very well and happy holidays to everyone ^_^ I hope you are all having a good time <3
Onto the weekly update! Substantial progress has been made on all areas actually in terms of cars, animations, weather effects and much more... let me elaborate a bit!
Currently, as you can see we have another car finished, the defender. I am hoping the next few public service cars will be finished shortly - double-decker bus, single-decker, post office van (royal mail), garage truck, police car, taxi! Here's a very basic test of car animations. It does have a braking animation if the player sudden runs in front of the car - car turn test v0.1. Also, we have a rigged model to test what car turning looks like but it probably won't get implemented for a while because there are other bigger priorities to solve at the moment. Here it is anyway - car turn test v0.1. This is very awesome to be able to achieve this in a 2D game but I think we have other core features to be getting on with rather than spending 2 weeks getting a turn animation to work... maybe a bit later.
The character creator is getting its v0.2 finishing touches so that it's not so potato anymore. The old one was a little bright and harsh on the eyes and lacked a bit of appeal, I think. After we added legs, it was necessary to make slight adjustments to it! As for everyone's comments on it, some of the icons do need a bit of adjustment and balance but that will come soon!
I think the furniture progress is good but probably we overdid it on the damaged furniture... is it too much? I thought it was too much - happy to hear any thoughts here btw D: The roofs still WIP but it's an idea of where we are! Over the next few weeks we will be working hard on furniture sets and I promise it will look substantially better because the current images are kind of ugh =/
We managed to get the rain and cloud weather effects working better (I mean we had it before but it could be better). So hopefully next week or so when that is ready I will begin to show off some nice weather effects in the game! Omg, I'm getting kind of hyped because after we import in the new animations of the characters and nice weather effects + new cars we can really walk around and show you all the game. It's looking very nice!
That's all for this week, much love everyone!

2020-12-30 09:50:01 +0000 UTCVery exciting! I do think the messy furniture needs toning down. It looks like it wouldn't be functional and I definitely wouldn't cook in that kitchen. Maybe make them less dirty but still have broken doors and handles?

2020-12-27 02:05:53 +0000 UTCMy main concern is it ‘too’ messy? I could do a poll on this later ~ but definitely there will be some wear and tear on older stuff

2020-12-26 22:22:21 +0000 UTCI like the messy furniture, too. It would fit very well with what you buy when you move in, simply because you can't afford better and a friend or relative has something old in their attic you can use.
