Special Development Diary - Big Change for Storage Hunters!

Hello fellow Storage Hunters!

We're switching Storage Hunter's playground from Unity to Unreal Engine, and here's why it's awesome:

  • We're talking richer details and cooler visuals; it's about to get REAL!
  • Less waiting, more playing. We're gearing up to roll updates out faster and smoother.
  • With Unreal, we can unlock a ton of funky features for a better experience.


What does that mean for Storage Hunter development?

  • We're carefully moving and improving all our current game pieces to a new system, making sure they look better while still keeping their original feel.
  • Our team is learning how to use Unreal's lighting and special effects to make the gaming experience feel more real and better than ever before.
  • We’re mastering all the different tools that Unreal provides, which is really important for making our game the way we envision it.


Right now, we can show you our first progress - a brand new city environment


And there are more and more amazing things to come… ːsteamhappyː

Keep an eye out for new pics coming on soon!

Devlog #4 - Yard Sale

Hello Future Storage Hunters!

We're back with another development progress update! Our team has been working tirelessly to bring this immersive storage auction experience to life.

Starting with the programming side of things, we've made significant strides in making our NPCs feel more alive and reactive. We've expanded the decision tree for NPCs, which should add depth to your interactions and strategies when trying to snap up those coveted items.

Our city's environment has also received some love. We have created two new buildings - diner and shopping mall.


We also have new assets for our city:


Switching gears to the design side, our team has been hard at work fine-tuning multiple features. We've polished up inspection mode. This will help you assess the value of items, and maybe bring up their value a little higher.

Beside that, we've also been busy working on in-game interfaces, including tablet apps and an auction site for your desktop, to ensure you have all the tools you need at your fingertips. Furthermore, we've created a list of item categories, a basic NPC AI for Auctions, and a basic NPC dialogue system. All these improvements will significantly enhance your gameplay experience.

Last but not least, we've put in some serious time on the UI. We're particularly excited about our work on bargaining with NPCs during yard sales. This will add a new level of strategy and complexity to your interactions and transactions in the game.


Stay tuned for more updates!

Cheers,
The Storage Hunter Team
