Project Explore is a survival game. You will have to deal with tough situations, starting with starvation and rapidly increasing insanity.
You will need to manage your time and resources to survive the night. You must maintain your sanity by staying near light until you reach the day time hours again.
The world is rendered in 2D with various 3D elements, such as the trees, structures, storage items, etc...
Updates, accompanied by descriptive news posts, are made to the game about every other week and sometimes more often!
"I think every player deserves a voice and the direction of the game should be based on community feedback, and ideas. I've followed this idea since the beginning of the games development and so far it has helped the game become something I could not have ever imagined." -Seabass
Re-sizable Window
[img=http://www.seabassandgazellestudios.com/uploads/2/0/5/7/20577194/641821_orig.gif]It still needs work for the inventory screen and such but it works aside from that. I find that I get pretty upset with games that don't support window re-sizing.
Terrain is 2D now
[img=http://www.seabassandgazellestudios.com/uploads/2/0/5/7/20577194/502915_orig.png]Panos and I realized 3D sucks when trying to integrate 2D elements into the world. We had to choose between cutting house building (and a few other features) and going back to 2D terrain. We decided 2D terrain was the best option.
Optimizing For Days
I managed to speed things up significantly thanks to a bit of additional research.Original FPS: 200-380
New FPS: 430-890
I can't solve why the frame rate fluctuates so wildly but I am guessing it is the result of my computer having a server running in the background and close to 10 others programs.
Another bonus of switching to 2D terrain is reduced memory usage. We don't need a new texture page for each terrain tile. We can have all the terrain on a single texture page. Which is awesome.
