Delays to main branch push
Unfortunately we are not pushing any new content to the main branch this Friday. We’ve decided not to for a few reasons. We’ve had a lot of sickness around the office over the last week and a half which has put us a little behind, and a few things just aren’t ready yet.
If you want to see what we’ve been working on then you can try out the beta branch. Here’s a few things that we’ve added recently:
- Some new models for the wall cooler, wall heater, and wall light.
- Some fixes for plants. They also move slightly, later they’ll move dependant on air movement.
- Fixed some sound bugs.
- Some minor performance improvements.
- Fixed in world UI on moving motherships.
We’ve added a 3rd person camera mode to the game!
This is something that some people have wanted for a long time.
To activate the 3rd person camera use scroll your mouse wheel (can’t be activated when using something else that uses the scroll wheel, like UI, build mode, etc).
You can also rotate your camera around your character in Third Person Camera. Use [ALT] key with mouse.
3rd person camera is experimental and has bugs! It’s a hard thing to implement smoothly.
Things still to come
We’re working on lots of new content and have almost reached a milestone with some of the things that we are working on. Here’s a preview of the things you can expect over the next week or so:
- New models for guns.
- New wall types (functionally the same as the old walls).
- Mothership docking ports (and a whole lot of mothership fixes).
- Balancing of things to do with the new game scenario.
- Organics Printer for printing off organic items.
- Ladders
- A new game scenario!
We have almost all the content for the new game scenario finished, we just have a few more things to add and a bunch of testing and fixing to do.
