Hello everyone!
Last few weeks have been filled with polishing & adding some new content! As the last few weeks kick in before the early access launch it's time to focus on the necessary systems that definitely need to be in the game before it goes public.
Performance System
As talked about last post, Marble World will now monitor your performance, and will accordingly slow down time (and thus heavy marble calculations) based on if you are not reaching the desired FPS. This system will be a work in progress for a longer period of time as it requires alot of tweaking based on other people's experiences with it. The desired FPS is currently set at 60, but there will be an option to change it to whatever you would consider a good FPS!
More Content
In the past days I've also worked on some more content! Introducing a new animated marble skin, animated marble paint, some more props & more marble trails!
One of the pictures contains a decoration type that is still work-in-progress. I haven't talked about it yet, but there's a big chance it'll be in Marble World at Early Access launch ;)
As seen on the last picture there's been a revamp of the painting system, it's now located at the bottom right and will pop up as a menu instead of above the bar itself. The UI is close to ready as Marble World now also supports key rebinding! If you don't like moving the camera with the WASD controls you can now bind it to whatever you like! Controller support is one of the other things I'd like to implement but that will take some more time.
Upcoming Time
As maybe noticed, this post came way later than originally said. It requires some time to get it ready and I'd much rather spend that time working on the game ofcourse! So from now on expect a post roughly every 2 weeks instead of weekly.
Next time a newspost arrives it will be right before the Early Access release. I'll go over what's in it and what didn't make it (yet!). From that point on I'll start doing polls in the discord to see what the priority should be for certain features.
Hope you all have a great week!
