Devlog 39

Hey everyone. Happy Halloween! Thanks for checking out our latest Devlog. Alpha 4 was pushed out this past month with the Beliefs and Techs system being highlight of the update. What’s next? We will be working on the Biomes and Artifacts update.

New Storehouse, Artifacts texturing

Storehouse_v2
While the back view cant be seen compared to the last devlog. I should note that I didn’t make many noticeable changes to that side. I feel the shape of this structure to be pretty noticeable for its large doors and noticeable ring of direction arrows that wrap around the structure. I found the mix of wooden texturing for one building roofing, and metal for the other. Helps distinguish while also complementing each other with their distinct designs.

Hey everyone! Our latest devlog covers more of our Alpha 5 progress. The Artifact Room is almost done and we have more asset work on the Biomes update.

For this month I constructed an artifact room. We wanted an area where you can inspect the items acquired in-game. The room needed to be large to accommodate all of the artifacts. Also giving the player a goal by seeing all the empty tables.



The artifact room’s assets have been created and placed inside the scene.
This is where players will find out more about the artifacts they find and the world of Buoyancy.
