Friday Progress Report 313

The beta build with character customization is online, note that there are several pieces of clothing that don't interact well with each other (major clipping). Right now the male model has no alternative parts, so you can only recolor your Adam lookalike, but we will add more male clothing and hair styles soon.



The recolor system is up and you can recolor almost every cloth piece.

We are now working on the NPCs recognizing your character as a custom character with different lines for male and female. Adam will have unique lines due to his intimidating look (the custom male character will not have scars).

When starting the game the player will be able to choose between playing as Adam or a custom character, note that custom characters will not be available on the Demo version, we have decided that paying players deserved something exclusive.

Players loading from older saves will be given an option to customize their characters once by interacting with the Wardrobe furniture (buildable). After customizing your character you can only change clothing.

Custom characters will eventually have a new intro (from first person PoV so it works with any character), when starting the game as a custom character they will be able to meet and interact with Adam that will now be an NPC (romanceable when we implement relationships).

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.
