VIP onboarding process is a go. Next part is going to be bit more complicated. #Precursor #pixelart #gamedev

I have only one New Year’s resolution: to launch a Patreon alongside the first publicly playable release of Precursor. #Precursor #pixelart #indiegame

Logo is displayed when scanning building owned by known institution. Fun fact, institutions can own buildings outside of their region/country. Ghost labs & covert sites are absolutely on the table. #Precursor #gamedev #indiegame

Working on underlying system, gui and content at the same time, so it's going about as fast as you would expect, but it's going! #indiedev #Precursor #gui

And how's yours Friday?

I am about to start working on one of the most complex systems and GUIs I've done, that's going to be up to few weeks venture. So I will be posting unrelated footage in meantime, here is some winter combat. #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

Mining system considerably extended to support underground Vaults. #gamedev #pixeart #indiegame

Scanning buildings now displays lootpoints. Step 1 of a larger plan. #Precursor #pixelart #indiegame

Yaaaay, first snow! #Pixelart #indiegame

Quick stab at displaying detection chances and narrowing down probability equations for background operations, by quick I mean two and half days of iterations. #pixelart #gamedev #Precursor

Working on some general bug fixes, some control unification (all scenes including research screen controllable with movement keybinds, etc). #Precrusor #gamedev #indiedev

Alright, mission system can now process data from zones as well as state of passive mission stages and present combined results to user and also cover authoring of hybrid missions. #Precursor #gamedev #indiedev

Guess even Tier 1 U.S. patrols mean business. I just wanted to get some observation data in peace. #Precursor #gamedev #indiegame

Bradley platoon ran into an unexpected encounter. #Precursor #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

Two Stryker variants doing their job. Now please excuse me while I get ready for some BF6. #Precursor #pixelart #gamedev

Some Patriots might come in handy during an Alien Invasion... so, Patriots! #Precursor #gamedev #pixelart

One of the perks of working on Precursor. When I get annoyed with something, I can just blow stuff up Gta style. #Precursor #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Since I am still neck deep in player driven missions (I hope it will be half as fun to play with as it's hard to implement). Here is another unrelated short combat footage, early T2 hull vs some T1 platoon. #Precursor #pixelart #indiegame

I am working on some massive changes related to Level generator to make zones semipersistent as always planned. So here is tiny Tier 1 combat footage in meantime. Note: this hull shouldn't be able to pick up vehicle of this weight/size. #pixelart #indiegame #Precursor

Lot of work on mission system done - functionality, QoL, Gui. Short vid: #pixelart #gui #precursor #indiegame

#screenshotsaturday #pixelart #gamedev

All vehicles now support full armor and module simulation. Unlike complex vehicles, modules don't provide specific functionality and aren’t destructible. They mainly act as weak points for armor pen projectiles, more than enough for this context. #Indiegame #pixelart

Alright, asset pipeline now supports modules and directional armor values even for simple vehicles. #Precursor #gamedev #indiedev #TechArt

Heavy beam subtype, slow charge up, slow tracking (especially when firing), better range, brutal dps and nice swirly effect as a bonus. #Precursor #gamedev #vfx #screenshotsaturday

Even identical firing modes can have different subtypes. Rapid fire pulse trades range & control for higher DPS and tracking. They also scale differently. #Precursor #gamedev #indiegame

Emitter crafting, holographic previews for modules, pinnable interactive tooltips, variable firing mode configurations, emitter stat scaling. #Precursor #indiedev #pixelart

Updated equipment widget to properly reflect changes after decoupling modules from hull segments. #Precursor #gamedev #indiedev

Crucible, modular material processing facility. #Precursor #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

Decided to move "Control Tower" underground, now "The Spine". Meaning whole player base is going to be underground, which makes more sense and also looks better. #Precursor #Pixelart #indiedev

Just a minor one evening thing (including some relevant optimization). Scanners can now be used to highlight humans. #Precursor #indiegame #IndieDev

Taking look at larger zone size, generator isn't completely adjusted to it (among other things) but generally I like it. #Precursor #indiegame #pixelart

Points of interests can now be scanned, which unlocks them as Zone Features (which feeds into passive missions system) and adds them to Catalogue (research and exploration systems). #Precursor #indiegames #pixelart

Some wreckyards variants, I might improve variations further when I have some spare auxiliary buildings but for now this will do. #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev

Wreckyards are pretty good early source of basic metals, outside of cities, minimal surveillance, comes preextracted. #Precursor #pixelart #indiegames

"Corridor" for(float i,d,z;i++<3e1;){vec3 s=normalize(FC.rgb*2.-r.xyy),p=z*s,c=abs(s);c/=max(c.x,c.y);c.z+=t;p.z-=t;s=++p;z+=d=.01+length((p.xy=abs(mod(p.xy-2.,4.)-2.))-1.+cos(p.z/vec2(PI,2)))+.1*exp(dot(cos(ceil(c/=.3)),sin(c/.6).yzx))*length(p-s);o.rgb+=(cos(p)+1.4)/d/z;}o=tanh(o/7e1);

One QoL, one feature done. Scrolling text for recently collected items/resources + current cargo capacity. Also it's now possible to pick up small (relative to used hull) vehicles and objects, which yields additional resources/components. #Precursor #pixelart #indiegames

Radar guided missiles can be hacked if ECM technology outmatches the missile's guidance systems. #ScreenshotSaturday #Precursor #indiegames

Fixed one issue with atmosphere raymarch and removed one mountain asset that I hated (and replaced it with three new ones) #gamedev #indiedev #Precursor

Born from desperation, the Specter-X1 was the unified Western bloc’s answer to the invasion. It became the first mass produced aircraft to wield energy weapons and harness engines powered by reverse engineered extraterrestrial technology. #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev

Flares, first way to utilize info about missiles provided by overlay. #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev

Mouse hovering over a missile in overlay mode now displays information about its tracking capabilities and guidance type. Why this is fun will become obvious soon. #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

I’m working on a system that displays info about vehicles and projectiles while in overlay mode. However, it’s Sunday, and what you really want to see are explosions. So here, have some unreasonable, unrealistic maneuver instead. #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev

Overlay mode now provides tactical pause to let you comfortably evaluate situation and designate missile target lock. #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

Boom. #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

Using F-35 for all of Western bloc no longer seems reasonable, so here is Rafale F5. #pixelart #indiegame #Precursor
