7 JAN 2023:
- One of the levels for Scrapship will have a black hole as the background. First I tried Blender — placing random white stars and then rotating the image at high speed. It looked okay, but not chaotic enough. Next I tried Embergen which you see above. They had a hurricane template that I adjusted to look a bit more like a black hole. I don’t think it’s there yet, but it looks decent. What do you think?
- For the very first level, I started to create a routine that would allow the backgrounds to be procedurally generated. This way the earth and moon won’t always appear in the same place every playthrough.
- I fixed a bug where the scrap image from the satellite was not keeping its form (you can see this bug in last week’s gif).
- I’m on a business trip the next 2 weeks, so I won’t have much in the way of updates, but I’ll still update this devlog as I always do and leave you with a . . .
