Hex Labs!!!

Every moment I work on this game I think about how long its taken me to get this far... and how much I still have to do... HOOooooo. It’s good but daunting.

Anyways check it out! Started to create a first house and I’m pretty happy with how its going. The idea is that the houses will be built inside a stalactite, with bits of the house sticking out of it. Starting to finally get the hang of creating 3d art assets, and how to have a nicer workflow with them too which is nice.

HEY HEY Sorry I haven’t posted any updates recently, but... here’s a bunch of stuff!

I’ve been working on the environment a bunch and also the movement options. Now theres double jumping, dashing, air dash, and gliding!!!

I also started working on the dialogue system, its pretty in developement right now, but I’m excited for it! You can just walk around or away while talking to someone, and it leaves you with a few options on what to say!

Hooooy! It’s been a while! Sorry I haven’t posted anything in a while but things where getting a little hectic and I wanted to do a refactor, as well as make a bunch of tools that will make things more organized/easy to work with in the future!

Anyways! Check it out! I’m experimenting with some new designs of the main character. Also you can wall jump now!!! Another important thing is the Camera has a nice follow rotation thing. So for this whole video I didn’t touch the camera stick at all, at one point I hit the recenter button, but everything else is the cameras natural following.

Hoo wee! I’m really happy with how this week went! I finally have a proper environment to hop around in! It’s still a “Greyblock” (Even though it’s not grey...) but making it was a lot of fun and helps clear up the vision :) I also learned a lot through this. Firstly... Apparently making some reference material is actually important!!! I’ve tried and failed quite a few times to make this environment, but I finally drew something up to help!

And then my roommate taught me a technique called strip modelling, where you basically just make 2 vertices along the y(or z in blender) axis and extrude them all the way around the outline of your terrain piece and then bridge across the open top. I made a top down view to help with that.

From here it’s basically just tracing! 

I also implemented another core feature! Scene loading/entry nodes. I only have 1 scene soooo... I just reloaded the scene and put the character at a new position to make sure it was working. I need to get a nice camera fade in there, I’ll try to do that soon!

A few little changes and a bit of a refactor :)
