September 1st update!

Our ideal was to create more blogposts during August to talk about trivia on the game's development. Sadly, it was a tough month for most of the team, so most of the improvements down below, if not all, were made by the lead programmer.

Anyway! Cue the bullet-point-list!

-Now we have our own toon shader! -Now we have our own water shader! -Added the ability to interact with the hotbar using the mouse wheel and numbers from 1 to 0. -Replaced the placeholder for the clock. This is just a concept and will be changed once again in the future. -Added highlights for the hotbar. -Added a dropdown list to select a language. (Full Localization still indev). -Added the option to change between a 24h and 12h clock. -Added the option to change the FOV. -Added the most awaited feature: Closing the inventory with Escape!!!!!! (or E, you choose). -Added a little panel on the pause menu for testers to see the controls. -SEEDS ARE NOW (mostly) FUNCTIONAL. -The pause and option menus now change their language. -Improved day-night cycle. -Fixed bug that allowed you to plant crops on walls, roofs or characters' heads (Plant overlapping yet to be fixed). -Fixed bug that let you move dirt's internal gameObject. -Fixed bug that allowed you to pick up items under you and fly away with them. (FINALLY). -Fixed bug that allowed you to plant while in pause menu or inventory. (Thx qbo). -Fixed bug that allowed you to move your Hotbar's highlighted space while holding an object. -Fixed bug that caused the backpack's inventory to not load properly if you opened a chest after opening your backpack. -Fixed bug that caused crops to be planted in the wrong grid position. -Fixed bug that made dirt update every time you planted something. -Fixed bug that caused carrots to softlock when harvesting them (Neither we know how it happened). -Fixed Item Database. -Fixed bug that caused the energy bar to not show up when you harvested something. (plus, we added an easy way to make this with every crop in the future :D). -Removed Herobrine.

You know what comes next!

'Now we have our own water shader!'

How to add water to the game was widely discussed in the team since, having a voxel artstyle, it was a tough choice. Various ideas were discussed, such as adding voxel water with real-time physics, but we finally reached the conclusion to add a shader and call it a day. The result is simply beautiful, and, let me tell you, this is not the end of the improvements for the water in the game.

And that's basically all that we can show you right now. During this month, our lead programmer had to go through a couple of bugs in Unity that wouldn't allow him to access the project, making him waste a whole week. 

As for the new 3D models, they are almost done, hopefully next month they will be ready.

I'm truly sorry that this month is not as exciting as expected.

Bye, have a great time!

 HAPPY NEW YEAR! (Still January, not late yet.) With that out of the way... As you may remember, back in THIS POST  we talked about all the character that were designed at that point for the game. We presented you the humble amount of 7 characters. In today's post, we'll talk about the rest of the cast, which sums up the whacking amount of 19 CHARACTERS! Before we beggin, check this awesome piece made by Pipi of the Little Ballet Girl: Take this a reminder to follow her on Twitter So buckle up, 'cause this is gonna be a LONG ride... The Protagonist! Let's begin with the most important character of the game: You! This is the old concept created back in 2022: And now, Pipi's redesign: He has such a cute smile~ His name is Marko, his last name is... yet to be revealed. He is 14 years old. He is the current owner of the telekinetic powers, he is unlinked.  Now, he has to learn to use his powers properly to help his grandmother with the farm. Obviously, he keeps these p...

June 15th Update!

Last time we actually updated you about the contents of our games was August 15th 2023. It's been a LONG time, but I can promise that none of our projects have been abandoned. In fact, we've made tons of progress on all of them, but not much worth to be shown. For the Farmoxel project (name pending) for example, we were waiting to finally be able to showcase the farm map on its entirety. Sadly, as you'll see later on this blogpost, we run into a lot of problems with it. Most of them are fixed, so we may have that done for the next post. This time, the blog will have 3 bullet-point lists of changes so... buckle up!
