Free Development Update 12.5.2024 (Patreon)

Hey friends,

Here is the free development update from 12.5.2024. I'm focusing on finishing up the map by adding buildings, the block out is done now I'm going in and start adding the details for buildings.

Environment -

The Asian restaurant building detail updated. Color textured added. I also added a name to the building.

The gas station model has been updated. It now has an interior, and you can walk in and out of it.

Several buildings have been worked on as well.

Buildings window lights emit at night.

Models -

Updated Asian skin type and morphs added for a female model.

A new hairstyle was added for a female model.

New clothes type formal wear added for female models. 

The eye model and shaders updated. An eye occlusion mesh was added to the mesh.

Gameplay -

The hover Interactable Information Display UI has been updated. It now displays a new redesign UI next to the NPC or object you point at.

A New Fish Eye filter was added for Photo Mode.

Player movement is fixed and pov camera transitions are fixed.

Changed background in Character Customization.

User Interface -

User Interface has changed. Resize and change the fonts of most text to be less bulky. Less color to fit globally throughout our project interface theme.

Post Processing -

Changed post-processing settings to adjust color and clearer high-quality visuals.

Misc -

Created a new studio. A new studio helps with better-enhanced visuals and lighting.

Fewer objects and clutter in the studio.

A better scene to create models, materials, and animations.

What's Next? -

Created an IK system to enable players to grab any limb of an NPC or move a character body in a Studio mode that I will reimplement in the future.

Working on a mechanic so NPC clothes will be interactable.

Working on more buildings and areas adding detail and texture to them.

Reimplement more core systems and mechanics.
