Hi everyone! We are now in full swing after the Easter break, and we do of course have some more work in progress. It was supposed to be posted on Friday, but was delayed just a little bit due to some travels. This won't be the biggest update as the team has been away (and the last one came back just today), but we do want to share some insight with you!
Bridles
We have been working on updating all of the tack, and here is an English bridle with textures and different variations. The first without a noseband where the hackamore can also be attached, the second one with a regular English noseband and the last with a flash as well. There will of course be color variations, so stay tuned for those!
Kickstarter Backer badge
We were finally able to hand out the Kickstarter Backer roles on Astride's Discord server, and this is what the backer badge looked like in the process. We were able to implement a bot which would add roles to our members for us, which saved a lot of work for both us and the moderators.
Multiplayer
The work on the multiplayer feature has been going strong, and in this snapshot you can see multiple green cubes. These cubes represent individual players and how they interact with each other in a live server instance.
Stopping and turning animations
The turning animation has also been in the works! This will be the default turning animation for when the horse is standing and not moving forward. There will be turning on the forehand as well, but this will be added at a later stage. The sliding stop does not mean that we are working on the Western DLC right away, but this animation will be tested as a stage of animation when the horse stops from a high speed, for example from a canter to a halt.
Please note that everything shown in these devlogs is mostly just work in progress and is not finished. Changes may happen and the things showcased here will have further work put into them! To see work in progress daily, join our Discord server community here!
