Progress Report #3
Added 2018-05-06 03:45:13 +0000 UTCGameplay:
- Puro can now take damage :(
- New enemy: Snapper. Snappers are normally benevolent drones that operate in the arctic wilderness for safety and research purposes. However, a large number of them have gone haywire recently — almost consistently those that get deployed near the site the ancient factory lies, and have become hostile to outsiders. Though one malfunctioning Snapper seems more curious than aggressive...
- (Yes, you can pet it)
- New enemy: Drifter. Although its proper name is unknown, researchers at the outpost have been calling it a "drifter." Found withing the ancient factory, drifters are relatively harmless except when making direct contact. and take a more weapon-like form when hit with a magnetic pulse.
Polish:
- Added a HUD
- Updated how Puro's face animations are handled, making it easier to control and
- allowing for mixing and matching face and eye expressions
- Textures FINALLY started being added to objects, including Puro herself!
- Puro now automatically looks at things of interest
- LOTS of experimenting with lighting and shaders
- Scenery in snowy area now automatically have snow applied to the top of them via shader
- trickery
- Puro's scarf is now pushed away from her head and arms istead of just warping when they move
- Started implementing ancient metal texture based off patron suggestions.
Back-End:
- A number of errors with Puro's model have been fixed
- Enemy attacks and hazards can now specific knockback to be relative or absolute, as well as strength and direction
- Handling camera movement for zooms and focusing on other objects has been improved.
Currently Testing:
- Damage Guard system: if Puro gets hit by multiple damage sources in rapid succession, she will only lose the amount of health equal to whatever source did the most damage, regardless of the order they hit.
As always, thank you so so much for your support! We're rapidly approaching the next (and potentially most important) goal, and this couldn't have even begun to happen without the support of you wonderful people. Thank you!! ❤
