    Looking over the shaders

    After reworking the Material Editor, I thought it may be time to recheck the games shaders. It was reported, that the game overall looks too dark and I wasnt fully satisfied with how some textures look and there seems to be an issue with the parallax mapping. So the game uses a quite...

    Reworking the Material Editor

    Finally the rework of the Material Editor is mostly done. What is the Material Editor? In Exipelago basically everything is highly modular. So a material can base on another material. An example for this would be "wood". So one can create a new type of tree in the Tree Editor. This tree will...

    Dev Log for the latest changes (Autosave, Material Editor)

    I finally added autosaving to the game, something I was postponing for too long already. The game runs pretty stable but there is so many things that could happen - could be as simple as a power outtage and losing hours of building is frustrating. So now there is an autosave feature. I asked in...

    Reworking the Item Handling

    This time a pretty technical post, which I can't even make less complex by providing images :-D How does Items/Materials work in Exipelago? In Exipelago there is no simpel items. So one does not just make a completed model in blender, texture it and put it into the game - but one does create a...

    Fully accurate Surface Detection

    Currently there was a broad system in place, so a villager can determine the surface of its current position - this wasn't accurate at all and gave a lot of problems for a nice movement, especially on corner shaped blocks. This wasn't getting any better with the recent addition of more block...

    More Tasks for Crafters

    Currently crafters (those serving the orders in the different workshops) are only responsible for crafting. If some item is blocking the workbench or any other tool, the crafter is waiting for some hauler to pick the item up. Very inefficient actually, especially when the haulers are busy...
