Bugfixed:
Fixed an error with the bugnet and fishing rod that made them only capture highlighted critters/fish

We are working on custom skin, eye and hair colors, right now we can change skin, eye and eyebrows, hair will probably use a HUE shift instead of fixed colors, so we can recycle all current hair textures and still allow the player to customize the color



There will probably be a test release in the nightly branch this week, where you will be able to customize your character as much as you want and switch genders at will, this is mostly for testing animations and clipping problems, the NPCs will still treat you as if you were Adam, proper character customization with NPCs recognizing your gender will come later.

The town remake is at about 60%, the building meshes are getting huge optimization with a lot of useless vertices being removed and faces simplified.

My brother improved the character customization window, it is now split in segments, there is better treatment for incompatible parts and the hair no longer defaults to bald.



I caught Dengue, and spent the whole week bedridden, so unfortunately there was no progress on my end. I am better now.

Sorry for the tiny report, but this week has been really bad for us.

We are adding clothing customization for the character creator, there will be a Hue slider to modify the color of the entire piece, plus some clothing pieces will have parts that can be colored individually like the hearts in the image bellow.





The city overhaul is about 40% done, the central area and the library got the most changes so far.

Good news, turns out most of Adam's animations do work on the female model, some are quite wonky, but we can replace them over time, we will only need to remake about a dozen of animations.

The female model will have sliders for Height, Breasts and Hips, as well as options for all the current hairstyles with a Hue color slider. Some clothes do clip a bit on Min and Max breast size, since they are made for moderate sizes.

The male model will have less options for now since we only have one adult male character and one set of clothes, we will add more later.



Some clothing combinations are not designed to be used together and will clip each other, but we will let the player use whatever they want.

Right now I am redoing the rigging on some hairs now that I understand better how to make it good, so Elly and Sasha's hair will move better.
