Hi everyone.

Today I was working on a new Shader which lets the drone parts burn. This look is very much work in progress and will most likely look totally different when it's in the final game - but hopefully you find the progress of such things interesting  
 

I hope you like it and as always, feel free to comment on everything posted here

Today we worked on the sumo arena.
The circle now shrinks as time passes

I hope replies on this thread are welcome - if not, feel free to delete my comment. 

 

Love the look of those new aliens. Those little lightning bug inspired ones are cute. 

I spy some new parts in the shader update for burning drone parts! :3

Dunno how I feel about the sumo-circle constricting in time, but not against it. Something to shake things up. 

[Philo]

Thanks @DreamShark!
Replies are welcome
Yes, we added some new parts indeed.
With the previous arena design the fights often resulted in a tie. Hopefully the shrinking circle will fix that.

Trying to get the game running on mac. Close enough, right ;P?

This week we worked on the online sumo mode

[Markus]

@DreamShark you have good eyes spotting them with all that fire

[Philo]

@Micha and @Roger worked on the particle weapons today ^^

[DreamShark]

Pretty! and pretty neat. The shower of sparkles is a nice touch. 
That particles look strongly affected by gravity. Makes it seem like the ground is melting. Excited to be able to play around with that and see what weapon-mods can be applied to fiddle with settings. 

I wonder what it would look like if you can set it to Bio type since the particles seem to heavy and want to fall down, but Bio generates terrain so it pushes back up. 

I also never noticed that Drone parts take damage they blink red. I'm normally too frantic in looking to avoid more damage to look at my ship.

Sparkling napalm of destruction? I like it! 

The "affected by gravity" looks interesting, im imaging secondary drones pouring planetmelting particels flying circles untill nothing is left... 

Yeah, i think i'm (a bit) pyromaniacal

 

[Philo]

We are currently updating our game engine (Unity) to the latest version.
Everything is on fiiiiiirreeee. But no worries, we'll fix it

[STM]

Upgrades! Fire! Meltdown! Performance? Happy fixing!  

[Micha]

Working on the new camera tracker part as suggested here:

I was working on the landscape generation of a new Biome when this happened. Is it a Kiwi (Animal)? Still lot of work ahead  

[Micha]

We are working on the burn / freeze mechanics of the drone parts, enemies and all other objects

[STM]

And it burns, burns, burns.... like a freezing ring of ice? Looks promising

[Philo]

Today, I added in some BG objects for the new lava biomes.
Changed some settings on the tree shader and which them move way too much...

[STM]

Naughty trees! Let's give em some space 😉

Is this a new big black mushroom for Adria? Or a Sponge? Whatever... what is the name of it?

[OmegaDeltaZero]

[Philo]

Do you mean the stoney thing next to the resources?

[Philo]

And we added a new enemy for the lava biome today
The Hammerhead!

[OmegaDeltaZero]

Do not bother anything on the pic, them're want SILENC
Noic hammerhead, I wish it will be more into knockback than damage cuz it looks really massive

Yeah, what's that? Does it have a name? Will it explode when shot and does it have some lava in it that's flowing to the centre of gravity?

And the hammerhead looks cool! Or hot in this case...
