TODAY'S PROGRESS REPORT!
More work on the multiplayer, particularly with how players can take possession of individual entities without causing overlaps, as well as a simplified flight mode that makes the ship less wonky until the newer physics model is in place.
The Rock Monster
As a warm-up, Micah's did some animation tests on a diminutive "rock monster" alien you'll encounter in Blockade Runner. Take a look at his development video below!
Replicator Plate
Using your "Sonic Screwdriver" (the name still being discussed and mulled over here), you'll be able to extract resources from nearby surfaces and construct some small objects. One of these objects is the "Replicator Plate"; the equivalent to Minecraft's crafting table.
Where the Sonic Screwdriver that's always in your possession can make smaller objects, the replicator plate will replicate larger tools and devices you might need to go from asteroid, to interstellar starship.
Awesome! Cannot wait for more!
