Surprise! There is something BIG happening right now that will heavily affect my life and Seven Ducks Studios. I probably won't be able to post much this month. But don't worry, it's something great and #ElysianEclipse will benefit a lot from it! You'll see!

The notification system is here! It will show you when you get an item or when one of your actions fails. It will also be used to display achievement progress in the future.

A creature, looking like Spamton from Deltarune, standing in a red landscaoe. There is a stack of transparent UI elements visible in the center of the screen. All of them say "Pipis + 1" to notify you that a Pipis was added to your inventory. The last element in the stack is fading away.

Many different fish and other edible sea critters can now be obtained from fishing! Additionally, new cheats to instantly acquire items and lock the time of day have been added.

Who needs a fishing rod when you can just cast the line from your mouth? Fishing will be the first levelable skill and will also be used to test loot tables! And no, it won't have a minigame yet, lol.

#ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev #IndieGame
Blorb fishing on a beach. The line is attached to his mouth. The target display says "Fishing - Press F to Reel In" and the action bar contains a fishing ability.

Wahahee! In V 0.5.3 it will be much easier to position body structure parts in 3D space, allowing you to make even more complex body shapes! ...and get sued by Nintendo.

I might also make a showcase video for this.

Here is a more advanced example of the foliage shader, where it forms a bush that gets colored with a world-space gradient.

Here are some new plant editor features: Seeds will allow you to pseudo-randomize some editor parts to add more variety to them. You will also be able to resize the "joints" of plant parts to completely alter their shape! www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2zB...

Made some progress on the village building! It's still very rough, but looking cool already. Didn't manage to work on anything else last week, because real life is really stressful right now.

Elysian Eclipse V 0.5.1 will bring many small fixes and improvements. My favorite is the UI scaling, which allows you to see a lot more items or creation cards at once, if you have a big monitor.

#ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev
The aquatic creature editor, rendered on a big screen with small UI settings. The creature part list on the left side of the screen can display more parts at once than usual.

The day / night cycle has now been fully integrated into creature and tribal stage! Here you can see the valley biome at dusk! A little clock in the top right corner helps you to keep track of time and also tells you the weather when hovering over it.

#ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev
An alien landscape at dusk. The sky is purple with a pink-ish horizon. There is a clock widget at the top right, showing "18:53". Its tooltip says "Tropic Valley; Weather: Fair Skies, Nighttime".

Just finished a major refactoring! Everything is super clean now and I got rid of all the legacy code. This also means the building grid prototype won't be playable anymore, but a lot of its features have made it to the tribal stage already anyway.

I spent some time to create development tools, to help me better organize the project. Here for example, I can lookup groups of status effects to see by what abilities or environments they are caused.

The plant editor prototype is a mess right now, but can already make some really cool stuff. I know there hasn't been an update release in a while, but I want to keep working on V 0.5.2 for a little longer.

10 Years of Seven Ducks Studios!

1/6 🧵 One decade ago, I started making shitty RPG Maker games and Minecraft plugins. Eventually this lead to Wauzland, which was a fully functional RPG within Minecraft.

#Minecraft #Quaxel #ElysianEclipse #Spore #GameDev
A detailed magical forest, made in Minecraft. It is nighttime and the trees are glowing. They have white bark and red leaves. A simplistic music player. It's theme reflects the color scheme of the /b/ board from 4chan. Pepe the frog is dancing on the side. The editor window of the quaxel game engine. Two pixel art ducks are shown in the viewport. An alien cat, riding on a "crabfish", swimming on the ocean surface.

The lighting for different times of day has been further improved and there are now cheats to instantly make it day / night, aswell as a tiny slider to manually set a specific time!

New Hut Parts (4/6) Gable / Barrel Roof

I'm experimenting with different roof types right now. The gable roof is guaranteed to be in the update. I've played around with different curve shapes, but most seemed too fancy for tribal stage.
