Friday Progress Report 280
8 Butterflies: Butterflies just fly slowly and close to the ground, they are very easy pickings for the bug net
3 Spiders: Jumping spiders stay hidden in the thick grass, getting too close will cause them to show a cute animation, getting closer will cause them to jump away and escape.
1 Bucko: Buckos are a special creation of one of my favorite Vtubers Amiya Aranha, I added them to the game as a small little reference. They do not react to the player, only to nearby Dreamweaver Spiders.
1 Poofah: Poofahs are little critters I invented, they are a tiny insect that inflates and fly away when the player gets close.
I have modeled a total of 45 bugs, but we haven't implemented their behaviors yet, the modeled bugs waiting for AI are: Wasps, Moths, Isopods, Slugs, Snails, Beetles, Ladybugs, Flies, Glowflies, Bees and Cave Poofahs.
Also a small warning, tomorrow update will come to a fix to the grass system, we had a bug where about half of the grass was not rendering properly, by fixing this the amount of grass basically doubled, if the FPS drop is too high for you, go to the grass settings and switch to half-grass, this will result in about the same grass density as before the patch, you can also now switch the grass LOD if you want denser grass, but don't mind things getting choppy when far away.

At this first release there won’t be much use for the insects, but fishing will be sneaked in right after and insects will become bait for fish.
After bug catching and fishing are in we will resume the faerie village, and it should be done before the end of November.
Oh on another news, we are very low on funds, and I have decided to shut down our website since I can no longer pay the hosting, I will still be making reports here on Steam. The site will be down by mid November.

Bug Catching will be implemented together with the Faeries as an activity for Adam, for now insects will have two uses:
-Livestock for Faeries: You will be able to transfer Insects you collect to the faeries so they can make use of it.
-Collectables: We will add a few new furniture items so you can make insect collections in your home.
Every insect will have a shimmering variant with 0.1% chance of spawning, the variant is just cosmetic, these are for people who enjoy collecting.
Future uses for insects:
-Fishing bait, different bait for different fish, some fish will prefer insects as bait
-Terrariums, you will be able to build terrariums and release live insects inside.
-Filling up the museum, the player will eventually be able to fill the museum with relics and other rare items, shimmering insect collections will be part of it.
-Alchemy, this one is far into the future, but insects will be very useful as alchemical ingredients.
The most basic parts of the Faerie village might be working by next week, but the whole system could take 2 months to be finished.

We have added corals in the center of the town, they are native to the coral reef to the east, we have placed some coral there too, but we won’t fill the whole area until we make them fully optimized since we don’t want to slow down the game because of an area that is not even accessible yet. We are probably going to unlock this area after the faerie village, we need to change a few things in the grass system to enable new areas, and it might take a while.
The bamboo forest now has bamboo in it, and collectable bamboo shoots, you cannot interact with the adult bamboo yet, we made them very simple for optimization, but you will be able to cut and use bamboo for building in the future.
The forest to the west also has trees now, but since you can’t go there yet, there is nothing to do or collect there yet
We have also added a few lines to the NPCs to reflect the new additions to the world, we are now going back to the Faerie Village and the new trailer
