Happy Sunday Everyone-
I've been experimenting with ways to improve the look of the ocean; trying to make it look more dynamic and wavy while still keeping to the game's polygonal art style. After a lot of experimentation with different shaders, I've finally arrived at something that looks quite good! That's my opinion, at least. You're free to disagree in the comments. =)
I've also continued re-modelling the game's buildings, including an improved spaceship with an animating hatch for Peabs to jump out of when they crash.
Oh, and bug fixes! I've fixed issues with the Colonization menu that would have caused the amount of stuff being shipped to the new planet to reset to zero each time you opened the menu. As always, if you find bugs, send me a save file and steps to reproduce it. This helps tremendously when it comes to tracking down bugs.
A tiny band of settlers land on a remote planet. With you as their leader they will either build a new civilization, or be consumed by the foul creatures which inhabit the furthest reaches of space.
In Poly Universe worlds are tiny but numerous. Be strategic in laying out your cities to maximize the limited space available on each world. Balance industry and residential buildings to keep your citizens happy. But don't neglect the defenses necessary to keep them safe! Here in the outer edge of the known universe, danger can arrive at any moment, and when it does it arrives in full force.
Establishing trade routes between worlds will allow your planets to specialize and share resources, pushing the boundaries of your civilization even further outwards. But always keep an eye on the health, happiness, and education of your citizens -- with nowhere to receive reinforcements from, your citizens are ultimately your most valuable resource.
