Gaze XXVII - Smooth Sailing (on Land)

Above is a video showing test cut with music. It's a bit better timed in-game now, and there's old gui shown in the video ^^

Heya everyone!

Sorry for the radio silence; Been a bit chaotic lately. Not just with the coronavirus (Please wash your hands and follow your local guides on interaction and stay safe!) and things rela...

Hello!

DONE?

We're pretty much complete with the controller replacement; Effectively the new controller is more stable, shooting less fiddly, and the camera is a little bit smoother. There are also some basic improvements to it that aren'...

Gaze XXIII - Piercings? Dancings? Piercings and Dancing!

The cover image is actually a bug, no, dancing is not confirmed. The character is trying to walk sideways and forward at the same time, and it results in… ...dancing x)

Gaze XXI - Work with no Play is just Work!

Heya! <3

Last three weeks were primarily spent in build release work (r5.24.2, and wrapping up r5.24 with the .3 build), and now we’re finishing up “a post-release” -cleanup phase; A period when you can safely update the engine and tools (e.g. Unity Engine from 2018.2.22 to 2018.4.8), and fix some outstanding issues, clean up unne...

Gaze XX - Navigate. Swim. Unnavigate.

This week we’ve been mostly wrapping up the features of r5.24.2 and fighting against pesky Unity Engine bugs (such as characters spawning in the “sea” under the terrain because for some reason Unity prefers that navigation surface more than the one on the terrain).

Here you can see the issue:

Gaze XIX - Fakes and Shakes

Though spins is probably better. Some crew member can't decide what to do so they'll just spin around x)

Optimization pass for the Kirhaal is complete, here’s some comparisons (ignore FPS, it’s from Unity editor and doesn’t really represent much game performance wise):

OLD - 5139 batches (draw calls), 7.6M triangles

Gaze XVIII - Options menu and Map reworkssssssss~!

A new map is also coming for r5.24.2 (in addition to the Options menu, and Crew Saving), while it’s not vastly different per se, it’s updated to match the new Kirhaal, is prettier, more future proof, and more capable of displaying some fluff and better rumor location guides ^^

Gaze XVII - Tiny gaze into the nearest future!

We're currently working on r5.24.2 which is primarily the Options menu (and some more fixes, and additional optimization for the Kirhaal; Some benefit inside city, big benefit when outside the city), but in addition to that we're rolling out a temporary solution to prey saving until actual systems are made for it.

We won't be able to release the build in time (in the extended time) because we still have so many things we want to add and polish before release.

I was thinking of what represents the Pride and LGBTQ the best (besides the flag of course) and I think it is a spyglass, as we are always looking towards the future, to a more accepting future, to a future where we don't need Pride anymore because we're all equal, accepted, and loved regardless of who we are, and instead just celebrate the Prid...

Lil sneak peak to the good old Skiia

A bit more classical RPG map than the current map in game. Eventually the in-game map will cover the whole of archipelago. Not sure yet, but might either be able to place markers on the map, or get markers visible on the map when you learn of something new, instead of the current setup where there's a set of ? on the map just... sitting there x)...
