Not much time today, due to being out late yesterday watching a great concert by Painted Black! Anyway, finished the scripting part on the editor (which will be a big help, best of two worlds: the creativity of WYSIWYG tools, and the precision/work-saving power of programming!), and found a series of small bugs on the […]
Editor is now complete… I’ll probably add some more tools to it as I go along using it, but for now it’s complete enough for my purposes. Even mirroring and constraints are supported, besides solving the bugs with the bounding boxes (basically I was adding the position twice to the bounding box when shifting it […]
Finished the props system on the editor… It still has some issues, but it’s mostly done! Only thing remaining on the editor are a couple of tools: constraints (so we can do straight lines easily) and mirror (because most of what I do is symmetrical in nature). After that, I can get back to the […]
Although this is taking a bit more time than I expected (mostly due to feature creep), the editor is almost done, only props and model painting is missing from it… And it looks great! The editor now supports custom brushes, that can be made by saving a map created this way… On the above screenshot, […]
Added colors (diffuse and emissive) to the editor, which improves the gamut of choices… There’s still some bugs… rebuilding the mesh when I paint voxels sometimes does a bad job, but I think that has to do with the update of the mesh itself, because when I force a refresh (which deletes the meshes, […]
Yesterday I had a very long evening, and as such today I’m a bit hungover, which means not a lot of energy for development… Anyway, keeping with my own pledge to do at least a bit every day, I progressed a bit further in the editor. Now the editing area can be grown/shrunk, and the […]
Some of the areas of the game are story-driven, and as such they should look unique… I could build algorithms to generate specific areas (as I did with the temple), but after some thought, I arrived to the concluding that’s counter-productive… building an algorithm that builds something interesting is time-consuming and it’s only worth it […]
