Our lead programmer continues to focus their efforts on the multicell prototype, while everyone else has been working on changes that have not yet been committed to the game proper. As a result we unfortunately do not have anything of substance to show off this week.
Refactoring the microbe editor turned out to be quite the feat, but we are happy to say that it is now complete and ready to go. This is a vital step in the creation of the next stage, as the multicellular editor will reuse many parts of the microbe editor to allow players to create specialized cells, and later on, flesh.
Our lead programmer Hhyyrylainen described the situation like this: “We probably should have had a bit more foresight with our editor code design and splitting it into multiple Godot scenes as this refactoring was needed because the current editor code was a huge monolith from which parts for the multicellular editor could not be utilized”.
