The smug shopkeeper will also be a possible marriage target, but she will be one of the hard ones to conquer as she is not really interested in romance.

I will work on her clothes now, I got a bit rusty, I used to be faster with this.



On the gameplay side my brother finished Graphics, Audio, Grass and is now working on Controls setting, making the key rebind system, once we finish all the settings menus we will finish fixing bugs and investigate the strange black screen error and get the demo released

Even though this is something so basic that every game has it still takes time to do, we are now working the graphics settings, we want to do it properly so we are also making this menu in a way that supports mod option menus later.

The first setting implemented is obviously the grass, take note that choosing no grass has actual impact on gameplay mechanics as the grass system governs grass crops too.

This screenshot is fresh from my brother’s computer who has just finished implementing the grass mode setting, I will make it pretty later.



In other news Eduron model is done, I might add him to the demo after all replacing one of the “chest shops”



I started planning my next character, Catarina the shopkeeper, I will have more to show next week.

Demo sneakpeek and Eduron rigged

You can get the link at our Devblog

Its a Very early demo build, the menu is still not done, but if anyone wanted to take a look at the building system here it is, just a warning, it is buggy and unfinished, we are still polishing it.



Eduron modeling and rigging is done, the only thing needed is to paint his textures, should be done in a day or two

He is the only character to have facial rigging and will animate quite differently from the others, he is quite unique after all.

This demo won’t have him btw, all new characters will only appear on the Early access release, and we have a few more planned for this year.

Still working on Eduron, his model will be the most unique of all characters, having animated facial features while other characters just change textures



Will probably need one more week to finish the design



The building system is done for now, bugs solved and is fully functional, still lacks the deeper features like: blueprint mode, copy/paste/export/import, and support, but for the demo it is enough.

My brother is now finishing some problems in the save system like wild grass not saving properly, after that we just need to finish the config menus and the demo is done.

Sorry for the short report, but it has been mostly bugfixes this week.

All guides for the demo done

Farming

Cooking

Building

Questing

Most of the building system bugs have been fixed, there were errors on the core of the system and the way the building grid data was set up. I would say it is 95% done now, unless more problems are found.

I went back to work on the characters, we promised 20 characters at launch, so we have to make at least 5 more, we had a list of characters we wanted to make, but we will have to prioritize characters relevant to gameplay, mostly shopkeepers.

Starting by the more unique of all, the local Smith and Engineer! A dwarf named Eduron, in our setting dwarves are all intelligent constructs, they are basically golems with human-level intellect and reproduce by building their child, building a dwarf takes decades due to the rarity of materials required and the amount of fine detailed work making all the magical circuits. For this reason dwarves do not enter intimate relationships with other beings, Eduron will not be a love rival nor target for Adam.

But if you gain his friendship and trust maybe he will show you his finest work in progress one day, and maybe even let you help build it.
