And I have to say, I'm always impressed when someone can handle both a day job and a side project like this for an extended period of time. A lot of projects with promise get abandoned, so kudos for the dedication!
Thanks, man. I've been working on this for so long...I probably shouldn't say out loud when the first, primordial lines of code were written. At this point, it's more a source of embarrassment than pride. There's just no other good way at present to fund the operation than by consulting during the week, so that's the way forward.
When I can find time, I'll have to post a general state-of-the-project update. I just had to focus on emailing the artists and integrating new assets over the weekend, and I didn't have time to post a proper reply here. I wanted to make that demo video for procedural item sprites as well, but my girlfriend got sick, I had to take her to the Minute Clinic, and there just weren't enough hours for everything.
this is looking like a fun game, thank you for continuing development.
Blood Librarian, good to hear from you! Honestly, it's people's kind words and the sort of support I've gotten here that keep me going. I really hope that some day, people other than me can have a lot of fun with this.
That pond is just beautiful.
Hugely appreciated! The water effects, simple as they are, are some of my favorite visuals in the game. I'm excited to showcase the improved weather effects when they come out, too. Sometimes, if I'm just hanging out on my computer, I'll open a window of Outer Colony on my second monitor and let the nature just hang out on screen. It's kinda' relaxing, just watching the day night cycle, watching the weather change, watching the seasons shift, watching animals and birds and stuff roam around, living their virtual lives. Maybe it's like a screensaver? I don't know, maybe it's weird to say, but I like it.
I'm still lurking !
Tchey! Every time you post here, man, it reminds me that somebody hasn't forgotten it. I'll do my best not to let you down. When I release next, maybe we can play a multiplayer world together if I host a server. That'd be really, really satisfying for me.
Sorry again for no new video with this reply, but I'll try my best next weekend. Thanks for hanging with me, guys.
