I have been experimenting with repeating textures for large art objects this week. Repeating textures work very well for large objects, and they avoid the problem of low texture resolution. The problem is that I cannot use them to add any specific detail work. I intend to experiment further with texturing techniques to try to […]

Most of the basic modelling for the capital ship in the third campaign is done. I have also done a test export, and after fixing some minor issues, this worked very well too. It should be relatively easy to integrate the modified artwork with the existing dummy art. The problem is the texturing. I have […]

I have created some simple textures for the new vehicles and weapons that I have introduced for the new campaign. I have also integrated these into unity and tested the new weapon models. There were some minor bugs that needed to be fixed, but nothing major. There is a decent selection of different weapon types […]

I have finished all of the dialog for the next phase of the project. I may have some more smaller dialog sections to add later, but it is mostly done. I have also spent some time writing a script to automatically create dialog graphs from properly formatted text files. This has been a huge time […]

I ran into a complex bug while working on the testing for the second campaign. After some extensive debugging, I was able to apply a solution, but I don’t know if this solution will work in all cases. I have some more testing to do to verify this. The bug is related to the floating […]

I have made some reasonably extensive changes to the mission code for Campaign 3 in order to improve the way that story and dialog elements are presented to the player. I have not done a full retest yet, but I am confident that these changes should work well. I have also looked into the issue […]

I have completed a full retest of the third campaign, including the new story triggers, etc, that I have added. I have run into quite a few bugs, but almost all of them were minor, and have been fixed already. There are still some issues with triggering the story and dialog elements at the right […]
