"I could write a detailed post mortem about what I learned but I think most people wouldn't like it, because the biggest thing that I have learned is that nearly all best practices need to be binned for the solo developer. If you try to explain things like that with any nuance people just fight you so it isn't super…
thanks @sacboi it would be virtually impossible to make enough sales with this game to pay for the time i spent making it, but it was my "learn how to code" game so I rebuilt it a lot more times than necessary just for the sake of learning. I should have just published it a year ago rather than running a free demo for so…
I had set this on the backburner for a long time because I went almost a year over schedule on it. But it is finally released. The release version is an old build, but I hope enough sales can buy me a month that I need to get the latest updates finalized. This is a game for a pretty specific niche however if you enjoy a…
Been working on a big update for this game. One big thing being done is rebuilding the original forest map. The main artistic goal is for it to have greater variety of distinctive biomes I have some help with the actual foliage models now. In previous weeks I've rebuilt systems for spawning the biomes. We are working…
Just wanted to say that thats a drastic change and it sucks that you could not find a fix for that because your project was well on its way. I guess the lesson here is that life is unpredictable and you just have to adapt. Anyhow, the new terrain looks good so far. Are you using world machine or what?
@sacboi The alpha version out right now has got a bug that causes a crash pretty regularly. It's fixed but we are working for 3-4 more weeks before putting out the next update. Of course you welcome to try whenever you like but just to let you know, right now you got to save the game manually like every 10 minutes which…
A demo is available now, you can get it at the LANDNAV discord here : https://discord.gg/mz5WZz9KHW If you aren't on discord and would like a copy send me a PM and I'll send a link.
Some more environment work. I got to admit, I could just sit here and make forest forever without even making a game. I really enjoy it. I want to take a little hike into the Blue Ridge mountains nearby to find some more inspiration. I like mountains and valleys and big sites like that, but something about the woods has…
Hey you are right. that is near the edge of the map and i havent made background meshes yet. But I will eventually. And you are right about the z scale being a bit overblown. I mainly did that for gameplay purposes. Otherwsie getting over mountains feels too fast/easy.
