Now and Then - Dev Log 37
Hey everyone,
Update 0.7 dropped last week with our multiplayer beta! This week, instead of looking into the future and 0.8, we'll be taking a peek at the past!
If you do want to learn more about 0.7, read here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1290000/announcements/detail/3148575179713052844
Anyway, let's go further backward with this week's developer log!
[h2]The Beginning[/h2]
Enjoy this clip of one of the earliest tests and experimenting with the game idea back in July 2019:
I think we can all agree the game has come a LONG way since then! The developer who had made this clip can't even remember making this prototype which says how old and alien it is now!
Here's a look at early wetness VFX which reflections were amped way up and the power washer spray wasn't even properly implemented:
Also notice that the BBQ isn't down near the grass!
[h2]Multiplayer Edition[/h2]
Here's a look at one of the first breakthrough moments with the multiplayer where we were excited to get washing working between host and client! Also, this GIF became a bit of a meme with our community showing off the classic Unity bean!
Following this, we had some memes made by the community like this one:
But the player model has come a long way since then!
It next came to prototype the suit and its animations, here's a WIP first walk captured by the dev team!
Really walking on eggshells there.
We further developed the suits and colors.
Here are some early very bright suits we decided to tone down significantly.
Radioactive green... who knows maybe it will make a return in the future...
There's still work to do on bugs and quirks but here's one of our meme-worthy favorites during development:
To present-day cleaning suit all squeaky clean:
Anyway, those were a few glimpses into powerwash past, but back to looking forward! We'll see you next week for our last dev log before the holiday break! Have a great weekend all!
