Hey Everyone,

This week was super busy, and I've made two videos that cover it all:


Here's a summarized list of what's been updated:

• smoke was improved visually, and can be pushed around now.
• smoke emitter was created.
• clouds were fixed and are back in the game now.
• while in fluid, smoke rises slower and ignores wind.
• cluster levels 1 and 2 now have smoke emitting from pipes.
• there is now a fps counter on screen, in addition to frametime.
• particle system was refactored to be single threaded, due to
• cache size limitations of psvita. psys was optimized as well.
• lasers no longer produce debris.
• a button pops on dialog screen upon input.
• options menu screen was completed (for now).
• frames per second counter was added, along with game timer.
• cluster district art was updated.
• mission select screen was completed.
• title was redesigned and linked to mission select screen.
• mission select screen links to cluster, bionic menagerie,
• and war foundry districts, which load appropriate levels.
• alpha city district created, title swapped to it.
• mission review screen was added, zooms out of district screen
• to reveal it, zooms back in too. part 1 and 2 produced.
  

So I've got an internal Alpha that I'm testing on different platforms, and getting prepared for players to test later, as a Beta. It's taken me a lot longer than I planned to get to this stage, so development is behind schedule a bit, but considering all that's happened (pandemic, category 5 hurricane), overall development is in a great spot. It took me a bit longer this week to make these videos, sorry for a Monday post! Hope you have a great week.
