made it so the tools can hold stuff #gamedev

oops i shoveled my shovel #gamedev

might add a slide feature probably wont be as fast #gamedev

not quite the effect i was going for but its funny seeing them float up like ballons #gamedev

gonna attempt to add flying npcs

finally replaced desert trees it i like it a lot more #gamedev

dang panda3d gives barely any room so i guess even having a couple actors that are for base instances were causing performance problems i have fix but still need to test it further to make sure it works right but i think its back at normal performance

think i need to redo my animation system its too clunky, i think what may work is a seperate skeleton just for the arms that ill copy from to main rig this way ill be able to animate in blender instead of needing to animate ingame

dino creature textured better still will improve it further but its more what i was going for #gamedev

here is the new dino like creature with temp textures #gamedev

had idea for giant bird like dinosaur ill have to rig it up and see how it feels ingame

think i may attempt to work on trains for something different todo

managed to randomize the npc textures there is 2 variants right now ill add more later #gamedev #panda3d #indiegame

this took much longer than expected this just so i dont need to create a new model file if i just want a new texture this should have been simple but noooo

giving the npcs textures/clothing now i dont think im gonna have it where npcs can equip each piece of clothing that is probably gonna be too much for me todo, ill have a handful of different textures ill use to add a bit of distinction

may have had idea so the way i do the water animation i think i may do for a slime character animations ill have to think on this further it maybe a bit complicated

added a few more details to the transformation #gamedev

the werewolf transform does work its a bit limited needs to be similar to the rig i can think of some improvements but this fine for now #gamedev

mmm i had idea it may or may not work but i may do a skyrim werewolf transformation, even though i should be working on something else like improving collisons with npcs and player so they dont phase through things but bugs are unfun i require something fun

doing similar method to the blueprints so colonies place blueprint layouts down #gamedev #indiegame #panda3d

improved selection system i think this a lot better than before no more accidental selections #gamedev #indiegame #panda3d

making human model

some new textures ill probably move on to make other character models soon #gamedev

got rotation to work with blueprints #gamedev

can copy terrain edits with blueprints need to figure out a method rotating placed blueprints #gamedev

me over here troubleshooting a problem turns out the problem was i forgot to change one variable mmm yes i love wasting hours

also here the depth maps of each split im just using 3 right being the farthest one

i got to admire people that make videos about game dev and make it sound interesting im over making the thing i know how it works and its pretty boring

I GOT PSSM shadow thingy to work its jittery but it looks nice since it gives shadows to places in larger distance away #gamedev #indiegame #panda3d

made some changes to shadow caster the problem was i had made it too big #gamedev #indiegame

testing out new textures #gamedev

working on colonies #gamedev #indiegame #panda3d

Animation update is out NOW on the patreon!! Remember it’s as little as $3 to play this cool sweet game before everyone else :P www.patreon.com/posts/0-3-0-...

i had idea for storage i am gonna keep inventory very small but you can build things like bags or backpacks to put things in they dont add slots to the inventory but its item similar to the gun and vehicle structures so things can be added to them ill have to further look into this idea

its a bit confusing but heres my first attempt at the networking thanks to old example i was able to get udp connections working #gamedev #indiegame #panda3d

may have found a template on the panda3d forum for multiplayer i hope i can get it to work with my game

i have done it armor equiping #gamedev #indiegame #panda3d

making armor #screenshotsaturday

ugh i think need do something to fix floating point errors, i think i need to do the method where i move whole world instead of the player

how it feels when i need to scrap a thing i thought worked but didnt actually water is gonna be opaque now things have been learned youtu.be/TIZneWRGxZ8?...

i did the swim this was pain the ass to do #gamedev #panda3d #indiegame

WIP swim it super buggy right now

i might add more fog once the player enters water, i want visibility to very low to give creatures places to hide

might have something working for under water effect not quite sure how i want to do this

doing some sounds for water #gamedev

little test boating using car frame #gamedev

i swear i understand people who post on youtube who complain about not getting views on there like there be some dark magic

i have confirmed i can generate oceans now #gamedev

adding a bit of transparency to it making a bit darker its bit better looking will probably need some sorta effect to make it darker when looking through it

some actual water still needs quite bit more but it does work #gamedev #panda3d #indiegame
