After a bit of tinkering, I've come up with at at least a temporary solution to the building obstruction issue. A button to toggle transparency of cells directly below the player.
I think I'll select by size, as chests and the like aren't obstructive.

The 48th #devlog for Cosmic Construct is now up on steam.

The next devlog actually will show up in the new few days. I am really falling behind on them. I might do this for the next couple.

Got most of the new imports done. Some of the more complex buildings like the Bazaar will require additional work due to being procedurally generated.
Still need to improve player visibility behind objects.

Starting to get the buildings imported and placeable. I am aware the the player can't be seen behind the building. (and that other buildings can't be seen behind buildings.) I have a solution for this already.
Here Casino parts are rearranged.

Sorry, no update on Cosmic Construct just yet, but I do have an update for work on the dungeon tile set. A massive number of tiles are being recreated in digital art based on work from various creators, and will be made freely available on itch.io soon.

Outside of Cosmic Construct's development, I've been working on remaking many of the dungeon map tiles from Dave's Mapper as a uniform set.

Working on the Guild Hall right now. I after I get a bit of that done, I'll post a devlog sometime overnight. (I really need to get on that.)
The Guild Hall will apply half the player's skill level to pawns, increasing the speed they work.

Now working on the Treasury building. Most of these are of the marble and column style the government structures use. I try to keep all of the management buildings looking a similar way so the player can have distinct city districts.

Let me show you what else I've been working on for fun. I just make this CRT shader for a side project. It's got a lot more development than you might imagine.
(I need multiple concurrent projects to maintain my sanity.)

The Courthouse is done. I really like this one. I might add more copper details around the building, as its looking flat greyscale. We'll see.
The statue was a good choice. Though I drew a door behind it which you can see.

Had my bi-weekly DnD game yesterday. Currently working on the Courthouse, which will be a pawn administration / "behavior correction" building.
This one will be rather detailed I think. I will also be drawing a statue of justice in the front.

Working on the Bazaar. Like the Market it has a procedural generation component. Its a basically a direct upgrade to the Market which produces a higher passive income.
I'll post up a devlog overnight, as that is REALLY falling behind.

Restaurants will boost tourism, and provide comfort and leisure needs.

Residence is done, this is the Tier 7 house for Pawns. As pawn housing tier increases the total population, property value for taxes, and comfort level also increase.
This will also effect tourism, and how many and the quality of roaming NPCs that appear.

Currently working on the Observatory structure art. This structure will passively generate research and astral resources when occupied by a pawn. Looking at this animation now, I see something I need to fix already.

Sometimes you're just in the headspace to work on one thing and not another.
I've been theory crafting a side project. This is zoomed in on a sheet of hundreds of UI parts. I don't want to show even the color scheme because that would give away what it is.
