I have added the ability to change the text on the navigational markers. This makes it possible for the player to place markers at various parts of the world, and leave a message that could be read by other players. The next step is to extensively test the random world generation, there are some problems […]

I have added the ability for the user to place a visual marker in the scene to mark interesting or important locations in the world. These objects are all persistent, and are added to both the server and the database, so that they are never lost, even after a server reboot. The next goal is […]

I have continued to make smaller improvements to the project, in addition to testing. I have added some improvements to the nav system to make finding object easier, and the next objective is to improve the item code, to combine persistent objects with moveable objects, inventory objects, etc. The idea will be to create a […]

I have added full support for the Prolog language to my unity project. I intend to use this to massively improve the AI features in the future (by adding logical inference, knowledge bases, etc). THIS was the asset that I integrated. In order to build the DLL, I had to make some code changes, including […]

I have finished a long overdue update to the embedded web browser in the project. This allows for web access (including email, etc) and even allows sites like youtube, etc, to load and play. In addition to updating the asset, I have improved the VR support with the Oculus rift.

I have tested, and improved, the persistent server system, and made various other minor improvements and bug fixes. The main issue that I am concerned about now is that in the next version of unity, 2020.1, the Oculus package has been deprecated. This could mean that there could be significant problems when porting to this […]

I have continued to make progress with more minor debugging and improvements. I have fixed a number of bugs, and partially overhauled, the “subtitle” system that I am using for text-based conversations and text display. I have also added additional features to the dynamic story generator.

I have made substantial improvements to the terrain generation system. Up until now, I could choose between either generating smooth, flat terrain, or generating coarse, rough terrain. Smooth terrain was far better for walking, driving, and placing buildings, however rough terrain looked far better for mountain ranges and upland regions. I have added a new […]

I have created a dynamic picture system to the project. This allows me to choose a specific image, or a random image, from the hard disk, and display it within a picture frame. The system works with any size picture frame, portrait or landscape, and can be used to display any image (as long as […]

I have spent some more time working on various bug fixes and improvements. I have fixed issues with the AI navmeshes, and I have also done some preliminary research into updating and upgrading various core features of the project. There are several features, such as the webkit, the Oculus Rift package, and the MCS character […]
