I have made additional improvements to the crafting and item spawning systems. It is now easier to harvest multiple items from the world, and easier to spawn and pickup those items. I have also made other improvements to the inventory management and crafting databases. The next goal is to work on the story elements, as […]

Debugging is still going well. I have fixed a long standing bug related to landing on ringworlds, and I have improved the item mechanics further. I have also fixed more minor inventory management issues. I have also made minor improvements to the NPC AI system. Some of the NPC’s attributes were not being stored persistently, […]

I have fixed a large number of bugs and made several improvements. Most of the improvements are related to the item system, in particular, with respect to weapons. It is now possible to reload while pressing a key, instead of having to manually reload by entering the inventory. It is also possible to partially reload, […]

I have made extensive improvements to the UI system in the game. The UI system is world space, and I want to keep it that way, since it is far more immersive. One of the problems with this though is that in some cases items in the world clip through the guis (such as walls, […]

I have been doing more debugging and making more improvements to the project. The most important bug fix was related to an issue with player physics. Due to the fact that all planets have different forces of gravity, the player was often bouncing or bounding when running. This was realistic, but very annoying. I have […]

I have added the vendor and store objects to the world. It is now possible for players to but and sell items within cities as well as in the world itself. This was a simple, but vital addition for the project. The next goal is further testing and improvements.

The buy/sell gui is now also working. There will now be random NPC’s spawned in the world that can be interacted with, and will allow the player to buy and sell items. I have also fixed some long standing bugs with the code that generates procedurally random seeds, and the code that spawns random NPC’s […]

I am now working on a complex system that is designed to add a number of decoration objects to cities, including signs, posters, neon lights, etc. This system must be pseuorandom (So, each city will have a unique configuration, but this configuration should not change between loads or between visits to the city). So far, […]

I have finished most of the debugging and improvements that I needed to make to the system that I am working on. I also added some minor details to the interior of the buildings, and added some optimisations, so that the interiors only load when the player enters a property that they own. There is […]

The next goal that I am working on is the ability for players to purchase property within the game. It should be possible for players to purchase entire structures, as well as apartments, etc, within larger buildings. I have the server setup for this now working. It is possible for multiple players to purchase property […]
