Dev Blog #40: Saving the Day

^ WIP Section of Oasis Courtyard

And thus ends another week of development. The big item on the list this week was the beginning of a proper save/load system, which was being put off in favor of gameplay development. Finally time to bite the bullet on that one and get it done!

Sorted out a few bugs/polish issues with the new player character, and HUGELY smoothed out the transitions between crouching/standing while aiming or in menus. Overall player movement and navigation feels much better.

We've also made solid progress on implementing a new melee weapon which was finished up being textured last week. We're excited about the special effects for this one; should be a ton of fun to play with soon!

And last but not least, a great deal of work for done in the art department. We're about halfway-done a huge detail pass on Oasis, the exterior courtyard area. There's a new female NPC in the works. There's also a ton of new consumable items being finished off, including new medical and stim items. Cool stuff all around.
