Hello!A small update on progress and other things related to upcoming build! ^^DONE?We're pretty much complete with the controller replacement; Effectively the new controller is more stable, shooting less fiddly, and the camera is a little bit smoother. There are also some basic improvements to ...

Temporary ship will be gone! Hooray!A model ship :3Behold!The Kirhaal bay looks so much better now that the wreck isn’t there! The old ship was in fact literally a wreck, it’s the one where you can find the very angry hat from x)Big ship needs a double wheel. Double wheels are sexy :3Front to ba...

Gaze XXII - Inventing Inventory Inventorying!
There (above) is a little sneak peek into the player inventory, so you can better guess what it is like and what it will be like :3Last week we primarily worked on the upcoming inventory system (some basics like moving items around, using tiles, and such) and new character controller system (replaci...
Gaze XXI - Work with no Play is just Work!
Heya! <3Last three weeks were primarily spent in build release work (r5.24.2, and wrapping up r5.24 with the .3 build), and now we’re finishing up “a post-release” -cleanup phase; A period when you can safely update the engine and tools (e.g. Unity Engine from 2018.2.22 to 2018.4.8), and fix s...
Aaaaand it's a wrap! The latest r5.24.3 update is mainly fixes to uncaught bugs, but r5.24 is now out buck naked :3

Gaze XX - Navigate. Swim. Unnavigate.
This week we’ve been mostly wrapping up the features of r5.24.2 and fighting against pesky Unity Engine bugs (such as characters spawning in the “sea” under the terrain because for some reason Unity prefers that navigation surface more than the one on the terrain).Here you can see the issue:Th...
POLL - Island #2 !
Where shall we go next? Pick one, pick two, pick all! ^^(Note: Requires google account for limiting answers to one per person)
Gaze XIX - Fakes and Shakes
Though spins is probably better. Some crew member can't decide what to do so they'll just spin around x)Optimization pass for the Kirhaal is complete, here’s some comparisons (ignore FPS, it’s from Unity editor and doesn’t really represent much game performance wise):OLD - 5139 batches...
Gaze XVIII - Options menu and Map reworkssssssss~!
A new map is also coming for r5.24.2 (in addition to the Options menu, and Crew Saving), while it’s not vastly different per se, it’s updated to match the new Kirhaal, is prettier, more future proof, and more capable of displaying some fluff and better rumor location guides ^^As I want runic, an...
Gaze XVII - Tiny gaze into the nearest future!
We're currently working on r5.24.2 which is primarily the Options menu (and some more fixes, and additional optimization for the Kirhaal; Some benefit inside city, big benefit when outside the city), but in addition to that we're rolling out a temporary solution to prey saving until actual s...

Happy Pride Month <3
I was thinking of what represents the Pride and LGBTQ the best (besides the flag of course) and I think it is a spyglass, as we are always looking towards the future, to a more accepting future, to a future where we don't need Pride anymore because we're all equal, accepted, and loved regard...

We also had a small giveaway at the end for som...
Lil sneak peak to the good old Skiia
A bit more classical RPG map than the current map in game. Eventually the in-game map will cover the whole of archipelago. Not sure yet, but might either be able to place markers on the map, or get markers visible on the map when you learn of something new, instead of the current setup where there&#...

We're well under way with the build, but it'll likely take us one more month to finish up with it as we want to push more meat in ^^As you know, the ...
