Patreon update 1st of May (Patreon)

Hurray! Thank everyone so much for support, this is the first paid month just happened!

The game update should be coming very soon, we're still working on some of the things to put in the new build:

Character customization is still in progress, I couldn't finish it due to having to work on other projects. This is because I needed to financially support myself during April + a necessary trip (which also took a solid week). But thankfully, this time, with the Patreon working, this should't be a problem any more, thanks to all your support I can finally seriously dedicate myself to the game development, yay!

Yet I still have something to show, here on the attached image you can see some modeling progress of the species I mentioned in the previous update video! Yes, they don't have fur/feathers yet, but all the crucial proportions are already there. The foundation is laid, so to say.

I also created a special character material that lets you change skins (textures) and colorize various parts. Initially I was going to just make customizable markings, but after some testing I realized, why not just to make a set of unique skin textures? Unlike simple markings, skins change the entire texture of the model, this way it can look completely different for each one. Combined with a selection of head and body models this creates some nice customization variety.

Hopfel, our amazing programmer, has been working on the mod support and inventory systems.

We make sure to make the mod support as early as possible, utilizing this functionality even for the core game content. What we use to create the "core-mod", modders eventually can use as well.

As well as inventory goes, we can pick up, use, and put items into containers. All the stuff you expect inventories to do! Every item can be scripted to make all kinds of functionality that we yet have to come up with in the future :}

-----------------

And also I wanted to ask you, what would you prefer me to work on more in this month?

Focus on the Planes of Existence development, finish the character customization, and perhaps make a new map even. I think we could use a place where we're going to put statues and patreon rewards, kind-of like a hall of fame :}

Or should I focus on Visualisator and finally make it available for people to play around with models?
