September! Roundup begins!
Added 2021-09-30 01:54:43 +0000 UTCSeptember was a bit of a slow month with the team dealing with various personal life struggles, but we managed to be a little bit productive nonetheless.
One of the big tasks this month was to get our Bow & Arrow working. We lost most of July to SOS, and a big part of August recovering from June & July. September is ending with a lot of little fixes to the arrow system to get it up to snuff. I wanted to show a video but we just didn't get the new texture filtering operation done in time to make it nice and clean looking. Next month!
But this little preview will show our pincushion system for pawns. When they get hit with an arrow, there are 8 positions they can get struck in. They can also be facing any of those 8 directions. To accommodate this, an arrow layering system was put together so we can it them up to 6 arrows at a time, and they will rotate with then as they walk, or fall over injured, or dead.
The arrows also have color masks, so you can identify the arrow by its tail feathers. This will be useful in future "who dun it' style quests we have planned, where you discover who an ambusher, assassin, or saboteur was, but their arrows. This will raise or lower political will between factions.
I hope to show the arrow system in October.
