Made a few more edits and added headers to the pages

Even more inventory progress, it's really shaping up now

More progress on the inventory/loadout menu

To get that drawing done I busted out the drawing tablet that I got for my wife years ago when she was still my gf. I need to practice drawing with this some more, I have a lot planned for this journal

I'm not sure if I still want to do a seamless open world for DYLIH, I might do a segmented world akin to Postal 2 instead. I'm just one guy and it'll make optimizing much easier

New inventory menu is being implemented

Item icons for the new inventory system

I'm so glad I went to the Peel It Back tour. I never thought I'd hear Mr Self Destruct live and when the intro started I creamed so hard

Downward.

Here's a mockup I made of a new inventory menu, I'm trying to make it something that could actually exist ingame

I was looking for flashlight pics and stumbled onto the flashlight wiki. They have a current events page

The big sticky note

There's too many NPCs at the moment so I programmed a quick simple fix

Big things are happening.

Reminder that I have a Discord server for my games where I post more updates. I also sometimes post early builds of the game and am always down to talk

I always liked the foreword to the JTHM Director's Cut

First step is adding a motel for the NPCs to sleep in until the suburbs are added. After that, I'll work on adding in jobs for the NPCs to make money and perform tasks (like shopkeeping or policing). They won't all be able to have jobs rn tho so unemployment may be an issue :(

My goal for the first demo release is to get the NPCS and world to a functional and autonomous state. Nail down the life sim aspects of the game before start going into the RPG side of things and really build out the world in my head

The new Fable game looks interesting. I've never played any of the games but if it wasn't clear enough I have a fascination with simulated worlds, I might try them out sometime

The NPCs now get hungry and seek out food (and shit). Next bodily function to add is sleeping

I think my friend might be onto something.

Researching for my game

Done with optimizing for now, the performance still isn't amazing but it's much better. I may get back to it eventually but honestly I've kinda accepted the game won't run perfect at times. Now I can start working on the interesting stuff again

Before today there were hundreds nearly every frame

I finally took the time to get rid of all errors. I'm free

This was the only redeeming scene in the whole movie www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWCv...

The biggest bottleneck in the game right now is by far the animations, been working on optimizing them and adding LODs. Once this is done I'll be able to get back to actually expanding the game
