Chilly DevLogs from Alaska ! #76 Building and Functions

[p]
Hello, explorers and adventurers!

Hey everyone! 👋
Welcome to another development update from Alaska Gold Fever - our survival/simulation game set during the legendary Gold Rush in the wilds of Alaska.

In this devlog, we’re focusing on three new structures we’ve recently added to the world: the Bank, the Shed and the Weapon Shop.
Here's how we built them in 3D and what roles they’ll play in the game!

[h2]🏦 Bank
🔧 3D Development:
[/h2]
We designed the bank as a classic wooden structure from the late 1800s – complete with a large signboard, a front porch, and reinforced doors. We took inspiration from historical photos of Dawson City during the gold rush.

Modeling was done in Blender, using a combination of custom meshes and PBR materials (weathered wood, metal details, dirty glass) to create that gritty frontier look.
[h2]🏦 Bank
🏗️ In-Game Functions:[/h2]

-Safe deposit for storing your gold and cash – protects from theft or accidents.

-Loan system – take out loans to purchase better tools, land, or upgrades.

-Loan system can be usefull to prevent "softlocking" by players (when you lose all your gold and EQ)

🪵 Shed
🔧 3D Development:[/h2]

This building was created as a modular structure - easy to adapt into different uses like stalls, small workshops, or repair stations. The core design is open, with wooden shelves, crates, and a handmade sales counter. The style is rough, functional, and fully in line with the DIY nature of frontier life.
[h2]🪵 Shed
🏗️ In-Game Functions:[/h2]

-Buy/sell basic supplies – food, tools, machine parts, and fuel.

-Hide from snowing.

-Future upgrade paths: expanding the shed into a full-fledged store or outpost.



[h2]🔫 Weapon Shop
🔧 3D Development:[/h2]

The weapon shop was built to match the rugged aesthetic of the game – think timber-framed exterior with reinforced windows and a secure interior for storing firearms and ammo. We placed special attention on lighting and interior space so players can inspect gear up close. Interior will shown later in future devlogs ;)
[h2]🔫 Weapon Shop
🏗️ In-Game Functions:
[/h2]
-Purchase weapons – rifles, pistols, shotguns (for defense against wildlife or hostile NPCs).

-Buy ammo and upgrades

-In the future: hunting licenses, gun customization bench, and rare weapon drops.




[h2]🎯 What's Next?[/h2]

We’re currently integrating these buildings into the world map, along with NPCs and their dialogue systems. Stay tuned for upcoming devlogs !
