Snippets XXXVII - Land ahoy~!
🕑 Added 2023-01-16 14:22:23 +0000 UTC(above) Overworld sailing map tests :3
There’s still much to set up visually + some GUI to mark the ports, but the basic ideas are there; points of interests to explore (sunken ship top right), floating treasure (mid right, super realistic), shoals that slow you down (the lighter spots).
Most of the stuff are still placeholders, and Skiia’s snowtops are tad bit too high riding, but the general visual look is there ^^
Missing all the pretty things still, like ship animation, some more scaling tests, etc, but basically it allows traversing between islands at the moment already, just needs polish to be more presentable ^^
Also, color and mood tests for Saardan. Obviously missing all the decoration, just using the island’s base terrain for testing. Flora is currently being added, before we’ll start properly decorating it and adding stuff for Saardan ^^
The first “Saardan release” is likely just going to be bunny huntin’ <3
Heev has some trouble fitting into the portrait x) This is from the portrait capture scene I have for making the skin and character part icons for the Character creator ^^
Some estimates on current progress of various features/content we’re working on;
Hare species - 95% done (For next build)
Sailing first pass (between islands) - 75% done
Subspecies modding feature - 90% done
Desert island - 30% done
City island - 10% done
Hyena and Deer - 10% done
With luv <3

To be fair, there are probably thousands of lost cargo out at sea at this moment, full of treasures... like Garfield phones. Wouldn't be too unrealistic.

“floating treasure (mid right, super realistic)“ What? Are you inferring that there ISN’T random chests of valuables floating on rafts in the middle of the ocean? Preposterous!

Sailing's point is to be basically a "travel mechanic" between islands. It will have other features to it too, but main gameplay loop is island exploration as before ^^

Ok, I'm not terribly excited about the sailing in particular, but I can imagine a lot of good things coming from that. And: I am generally VERY excited about ANY gameplay news. There is a whole story here about my concern / hope relationship with your game...
