WIP Phonoworld updates to come

Added 2022-04-29 04:12:50 +0000 UTC

Heres a look at some of the stuff ive been working on while preparing the Phonoworld for the public release of the Laserdroids and the later Patreon release of the Sharkdroids!

First off, if you looked Up in the last update, you may have noticed this window from the ceiling. It looks kinda like a room, huh?

Thats because it is! A new area being added to the Phonoworld to fit more stuff in.

The Facade hallway on the upper deck from the last update has become a real, proper one, now that the construction-robots have finished the stairway connecting to the top room.

(decoration is still WIP in all of these areas)

The big empty wall next to the table has been replaced with a funky aquarium...

...and a funky little creature to hang around inside it.

The decoration on all these places is a little barren for now but now that ive gotten the baseline for this stuff down more proper I can get to making them all look a little nicer. (decorations are in the process of being modeled and aren't really ready to show as of yet)

also on a much less interesting note, the main material used for 80% of things in the world now has a gloss map applied to it. For now it just means some of the posters look a tiny bit shinier, but Importantly it opens a lot more options for more varied Looks to things without bloating up the number of materials used, so its mainly just a Nice Thing for me to have working on it. Here's a slightly shiny poster:

Apologies for the silence on stuff recently, as I've mentioned on twitter things were very chaotic for me the last few months and I had less time than i was hoping to to get stuff done, but now all that is finally clearing up and I can get back to stuff Proper hopefully. It's been refreshing designing new rooms from the ground up again after a few months of updating credits and finding little things to polish while i was focusing on the Laserdroid and Phonodroid updates and that's been mega helpful for getting me back into all this again. Thank you all for your patience!
