LowPolyExplorer
End of LowPolyExplorer
LowPolyExplorer will be removed from steam as there was too much technicals difficulties. For those that bought it, it will still be playable.
Devlog 5
World generation
World generation got some improvements:
- You can now choose the world size
- There's forests (zones of high tree density)
I think that the world generation tech is for now completed, of course there's some things that will probably be added with time but for now I'm pretty proud of the result.
Gameplay
A lot of work on this side has been done and a lot will be done:
- First implementation of missions is done and is now going trough polishing
There's some others missions types that will be added (but I won't say it because it will be a surprise). The fact that the base code of missions is done will do it easier for others missions types to be implemented even if some are really more complex that the transport mission. Like the world generation, missions are also generated procedurally.
Visuals
A lot of work has been done on improving visuals of the steam page and the menus in game.
I shouldn't talk about that but I will....
Multiplayer....
(will be in the game as a WIP feature.... it will be brought out of WIP along with updates as it's not the main part of LPE).
That's all, see you soon for devlog 6!
