Progress Update 03/18/2023

We have a few fun things to show off this week, though mostly in the prototypes. Continued progress in the awakening prototype has led to the introduction of a crafting and gathering system in the game, allowing you to construct rudimentary tools with which to master your world. A new music track is in the works, as well as a few fine artistic additions.

Programming

• New DevBuild for our patrons:

  • Added awakening stage prototype with basic tool crafting, inventory, and collectable resources

  • Added late multicellular stage underwater panoramic background

  • Updated YamlDotNet to 13.0.2

  • Updated translations

• Progress continues in the awakening prototype; Now with functional crafting and placeholder tree analogues, “I can't believe it's not trees”!

Graphics

• The aquatic macroscopic stages are now receiving environmental panoramas via our artist Bolsa. Swimming the great waterless void is soon to be a thing of the past.

• In addition, we have a new icon for our newest storage part. The name of which still remains undecided.
