New build soon, just a few more bugs to fix

The AI is being stubborn, we might have to disable their needs for a while so they focus on finishing all their tasks in time, they are neglecting the fields to relax in the library



There is also a crash in the cooking system we are trying to stomp (again). If everything goes well we will have the new build up today



Sage plant modeled and textured, now need to animate and make the xml. The new mint plant has been added to the game btw.

-Edit-

New version updated!
PLEASE START A NEW GAME IF YOU PLAYED BEFORE.
The AI changes will not work on old saves.

Two weeks for release, we wanted to release a new demo version today, but we found more problems with the pathfinding, the default’s Unity system is really bad, so we replaced the whole thing, it seems to be working very well, before the pathing would break halfway through some parts of the city, now we can extend a path from one side of the map to the other.

The new pathing is taking roads in considerations, smoothing all the weird zig-zag they did before on the old system.



I am a bit late when it comes to new crops, I had to take 2 days off due to health issues, but I am fine now.

The mint plant is modeled, textured and animated, I just need to set up the xml, merge the animations with our scripts and do some finishing touches. You will be able to collect leaves during Vegetative, Budding and Flowering stages without killing the plant.



Most spice plants will be similar, letting you take leaves during several stages.

We are polishing the release as much as we can, my brother is fixing as many bugs as I can find, Between testing bugfixes I have been planning more content, during the next following weeks I will be adding the following crops:

Mint, Sage, Basil, Stevia, Rosemary, Chilipepper, Bellpepper, Yam, Watermelon, Cantalope, Pumpkin, Spinach and Vanilla

I have to take some rust off and remember the proper steps to make the crops, but there should be a new crop or two added by next week.



The glitched AI that made the NPCs just stand still during the last demo should be fixed, it made a nice screenshot though (When I took this screenshot she was actually trying to sleep standing here in the middle of the field for some reason).

We implemented the NPC schedule system to limit the dynamic AI in certain situations at certain times, for example NPCs should all go to their houses at night now, Karen and the kids should be going to the school every weekday morning and eating is now limited to breakfast, noon and dinner times. Things should be less wacky now.
