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.

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.

#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #screenshotsaturday

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.

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.)

#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #wipwednesday

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.

#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #wipwednesday

I think its looking a little better with the brick detail and the shutter width corrected. I still have the interior animation to do. But I'ma keep this one.

Restaurant is now finished. I might have to make some variations of this building eventually to prevent repetition if more are placed later, but we'll get there.

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

#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #wip

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.

#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #screenshotsaturday

I've moved on to make some of the smaller structures. This is the Bungalow, the Tier 6 house for pawns. Will probably also work on the Residence, Observatory, Restaurant, and Bazaar at least a little bit, overnight.

#indiedev #indiegame #gamedeve #gameart #screenshotsaturday

Still working on the City Hall interior animations, then I can move on to some of the smaller buildings just to get more of them knocked out. Making dynamic scenes with only 4 frames is a challenge.

The 44th week #devlog is now up for Cosmic Construct.

The Casino is fully animated now, going to be working on the City Hall and Museum now. Going to try to churn through the structure art.

#indiegame #indiedev #gameart #gamedev #art

Almost done with interior animations for the Casino. Still need to do them for the City Hall. I am late with the devlog, but what else is new. XD

I don't want to have a devlog post up without something finished.

#indiedev #indiegame #gameart #gamedev #art

The fountain animation is done, and I have a test image for the procedural advertising banners. This one is some kind of live show.

The water was a little rough to get to look like water, but I think it looks okay now.

#indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #screenshotsaturday

Still working on exterior animations for the Casino. Have a fountain and advertising banner to make before that is done. Then I can work on animating the interior.
