We are still tricky at do the job on our upcoming activity and have a new devlog highlighting some of the largest additions and adjustments we have bundled!
Extra A Seasons Method
A rather huge visible transform we have manufactured is the introduction of seasons to Somerholm. With the flip of diverse seasons, vegetation, weather, animals, and all round colour-tone will alter. The “default” glimpse the activity had ahead of this addition is marked as Summertime. Spring will aspect a much more blue overall tone, bouquets, confirmed berries in bushes, and much less general wind. Autumn will have slightly less of a grass-line close to the h2o, a lot more of a grey all round tone, orange-brown grass and trees, a lot less scaled-down vegetation and some useless trees. Wintertime has the greatest amount of improvements, with even fewer of a grass-line neat drinking water, a a lot more grey overall tone, brown grass, extra useless trees, the the very least total of vegetation, and the minimum amount of animals. Ideally all of these alterations will assist to add even much more visible range to islands.
Added A Fishing Mini-Activity
A fairly noteworthy addition we additional with this update is the capacity to fish where-ever drinking water is deep ample. Fishing at the minute is reasonably uncomplicated and akin to one thing like Minecraft’s fishing method. There is a minimal amount of bait for each island and the odds of fish catching the hook will improve with the temperature and seasons. Fishing has in no way been a large planned component of the sport, but we do like possessing aid for it, so we may perhaps insert far more complexity to the technique in the future, but no promises.
Added Full Controller Support
Receiving all set for release, there are a several options we essential to start introducing, controller help was just one of them and now it’s thoroughly applied! Menu controls will work in a very similar trend to our previous game, “accelerating hotkeys” in that a digital mouse is moved all around by the controller joysticks. In addition to support for controllers we also added some controller certain possibilities: light-weight-bar enabled (for controllers that guidance it), rumble enabled, and virtual mouse velocity.
The Start out Of The Story
With the last update we began incorporating story help, whilst not completed we have additional the start off of the story and have executed assist for the relaxation of it. We are unable to share a full whole lot in this area ideal now, but we continue to wanted to make a take note of it when we carry on to insert every thing in the game.
Miscellaneous
A number of more points to notice for this update, not including any misc. improvements we have produced together the way. In the previous update we extra the capacity to kick physics centered objects to make the environment a minimal additional interactive, and with this update we included the means to shake trees and bring about pine-cones and twigs to slide from them. To also aid with performance logging we extra a much more in-depth frame-level UI solution to keep track of frame-level lows, frame-fee highs, and rendering milliseconds.
We enjoy the help, hope all people is obtaining a good vacation year, and are wanting ahead to sharing far more in the potential!
