Friday Progress Report 201
This is a simplified version for this demo, in the future we want to add grid selection instead of just list selection and add more controls for moving through the pieces (right now you have to open the menu every time you want to switch pieces)
You gain access to the building menu by selecting the hammer tool (have it in hand), then use TAB to open the menu, select the piece you want and you can place them at will (as long as you have resources)
There are filters for name, piece snap point (corner, border of center) and Building parts or Props (mostly garden/farm stuff), Since pieces are so easy to add (and mod in) we expect to have a ton of them in the future, so the filters are required.
There are a few problems right now specially with roof pieces and pieces that snap to corners, we want to solve those very soon and finish this demo.
We are also implementing a main menu, save menu (so you don’t have to use only quicksave/quickload) and a better quit menu with autosave, settings will probably only be on the early access release as many parts of it like all the graphical stuff and control remapping will take a while.
