drawing tablet<\/a> right now so with my limited art skills and dragging around a clunky mouse this was the best I could do.\u00a0 I will eventually redraw that.\u00a0 The metal isn’t exactly professional quality, but I’m still fairly happy with it for the time being.<\/p>\nOnce the game is a little farther along I will do asset spotlights using renders from the actual game, but for now you can at least see where I’m trying to go with this.<\/p>\n
Speaking of the game world, I found the code for the world editor I had previously written so I am in the process of tweaking that to work for the new environment of this iteration of the game.\u00a0 That should save me a ton of time because the editor is already around 1800 lines of code, and tweaking that much code base rather that rewriting from scratch will be a big help.<\/p>\n

<\/a>This is a rendered image out of Blender<\/a>, so it isn’t necessarily exactly how it will look in the game world, but it should be pretty close.\u00a0 I’m trying to keep everything as resource-light as I possibly can, so this crate has 240 triangles and a single diffuse texture that is 256×256.\u00a0 The triangle count is actually a little higher than I expected but I wanted some minor wobbles in the actual geometry to try and make it look a little more interesting, and unfortunately that requires triangles.\u00a0 Still, 240 is pretty low for a game asset of any size at all.<\/p>\n
