Tried reading dune…
Wasn’t for me. Learning the politics and slang of another planet wasn’t specifically on my agenda… :upside_down_face:

I didn’t sign up because can you can imagine our project takes every available minute atm.
But I’ll keep an eye on it. Curious to see how the story develops

Thank you for taking time to read today’s updates and announcements.


DISCUSSION:

Hey @TinkerSmith, just wondering if you’d like to be pinged for these updates. That applies for anyone, just let me know if you want to be pinged. I also might just create a private chat for those who want pinged, so I can create a thread about updates (I’d still post here, it’s just I wouldn’t have to ping people and not everyone would be apposed to seeing it, so I could post in both).

My vote doesn’t count, I voted so I can see the results.

The grappling hook and binoculars sound the most complex to make, so I would suggest getting them down first.

Yeah, I’ve already decided how I’ll do the binoculars. I’ve never done a grappling hook before and I’m still brainstorming how I could do it smoothly.

I don’t know if it’s a bug, but you jump higher when pressing down “s”

Hey, I have no clue what you’re referring to, but if you’re having trouble with something in your game, make a post about it and link your game, we can go from there! :slight_smile:

Thank you to everyone who participated in the poll! I didn’t know if 2 hours would be enough time but it was. I’m making a rough base of a tutorial currently, so the order that you all choose are going to be when the player gets those items (AKA, the tutorial will have the grappling hook, but it will be very limited use until later in the game).

REMINDER


The poll I just replied to (post 23) is closing in 11 hours! I’d also like to note that I’m only taking 3 people (this is of choice).

New!

  • Started working on grappling hook.
  • Added to the story.
  • Created a space trailer (not a video type of a trailer, I mean a trailer home)
  • Created explosives and explosives example (see discussion section)

Thank you for taking time to read today’s updates and announcements .


DISCUSSION:

I’ve created a new explosives example, it might not be very clear, but basically you expand an object to impact other objects (similar to actual explosions). See the example here:
