What happened the last months
The last months i worked on new graphics, models and some other larger changes. In this post i will show you the new graphic style that brings the game to a new level of detail.
New Resource Boxes
New Painting
Lets start with the Resource Boxes, some i just updated a bit, like the gas bottles or the steel and glass boxes shown here. They got a detailed painting, labels and signs on it:
New Models
Others got a complete new model like Biomass and Iron Garbage.
For the liquids i added an industry like container that can show the filling state as before.
Random Details
To make it look a bit more realistic, i created a shader that is moving and rotating the single items in the box, what is nice visible here at the new cooked food model:
The first feedback i got was to add an OCD Mode, so i made it possible to turn it off in the options :)
Here you can see all Resource Boxes i updated:
New Room
Design
The Rooms got also a complete rework, they have thicker walls and have some panels outside. When spinning or increasing the game speed very fast, some players reported some motion sickness, what was even worse in the first person mode. So i keep the new Rooms completely closed.
Later i plan to let the player choose some parts of the building, so he can exchange some walls or roofs to ones with windows.
Hide Top
To make it possible to hide the top part of the rooms. I added 2 different heights, like in many other games.
Customize
The system is designed, that the player can later exchange different walls through walls with windows or do other customizations. Till now, the player can customize the wall color, maybe I'll add more colors to be picked later.
A big new feature what i did while creating the new design was to make the Floor space can be setup by the player. Till now there is a maximum size given (~20 tiles). Maybe i need to add some downsides for larger rooms later, like the persons will not like it, or additional interiors need to be placed to enlarge it.
Lens flare
The new Unity update finally supports the Lens flares for my experimental renderer i use, so i could finally create it!
Want to see more?
So far to this part, i also started to rework also the interior. I'll create a post like this when everything is ready. I also post daily the progress with pictures on our Discord Server:
