[THIS BUILD, main features]
- Level Loading System. Completely rewritten so that we can easily drop the third-party solution and start working on porting the project to UE5.
- Save/Load system. Based on a modified version of the Easy Save plugin. For testing purposes, there is no auto-save in the game. Press F11 to save your game. Press F9 to load the game. You can change these keys in the input settings.
[NEXT BUILD and ETA]
We fit perfectly into the work schedule. As I expected, the necessary changes were completed just before mid-August. The rest of the time was spent on fine-tuning and fixing minor bugs. Now that we have the save and load function, I'll start working on improving the dialogs.
- Next main task is to save dialogues into save files. Yesterday I made an analysis of what the functionality should be. Taking into account all the nuances, the solution to the problem turns out to be rather complicated. Therefore, I will divide this big task into several stages and in parallel I will work on additional content.
- As part of our monthly target, we got another animation from hired twitter.com/FishPrison. We are currently working on introducing animation into the project, and you should see it this or next month.
I will report back of the work that has been done at the end of this month, and then in mid-September.
