[Devlog] September 2025 - Week 3

[p]Welcome back to the 43rd week devlog for Cosmic Construct. This one is going to be a quick post, followed by a very short week post to get, again, back on track with the devlog schedule. Posting on the 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th, and 31st of October. Meaning there will be another devlog in 3 days.[/p][p]To follow the game's progress you can join me at:[/p][p]Each week we cover development goals established during the prior devlog.

---[/p][p]Structure Art (priority task)[/p][p][/p][p]Some of the structure art is architecturally and mechanically complex. I wanted to tackle some of these larger structures so that I don't lament doing them in the future. Instead I can lament doing them now. :P[/p][p]For real though, I've enjoyed doing the art for these, but it is taking much longer than I thought it would. As with most things for this project.[/p][p][/p][p]This is the City Hall, which is a functional "upgrade" to the Town Hall which gives additional enforcement permissions to selected pawns, and is part of managing he settlement's average stress. It is composed of multiple parts that fit together.[/p][p][/p][p]This is one of the segments of the casino building, which is missing a whole lot of detail. There needs to be movement going on inside of the building through the windows, an in universe banner advertisement, a fountain, and stage lights. None of those things are done.[/p][p][/p][p]Here is a half complete segment I still need to animate the interior for. The gold still needs accent highlights and various other detail touch ups.[/p][p][/p][p]The interior isn't done for the city hall either, nor are details in the outside stonework. However it is complete enough for me to show you how it all fits together. Multipart structures can be assembled in any way. Which complicates the design of these structures. I want them to function as environment objects the city can be built around. With thematic decor blocks I can add. Perhaps with matching building variants and styles. That can be for much later.[/p][p][/p][p]Achievement Icons[/p][p]I've redone all of the greyscale icons again.[/p][p]---[/p][p]This next "week" will only be 3 days, and I will be trying to finish up this group of structure arts.[/p][p]- Structure Art[/p][p]That is all, sorry for the update delays.[/p]
