Good Luke The Game — Progress Update

Hey everyone!
This week we made solid progress on the game. We’re finishing up the pre-production phase, which means we’re getting everything ready to officially start producing content

📖 Writing & Planning

• We’ve finished writing the first missions.
  With the planning complete, we can now move into full production of environments, characters, and all required assets.

🎮 Gameplay

• We’ve planned the core gameplay loop, including quests and character routines.
  The foundation is now defined, and production has officially begun.

• We’re implementing the player’s phone 📱
  This will unlock many new features that will be revealed in future updates 👀

🎨 Art

• We’re updating the map for version 1.1 🗺️

  We’re constantly optimizing the map. Creating a high-quality map is demanding and heavy on performance, so we’re working on making the files lighter to allow faster and easier generation of future renders.

  Current progress:

  • The park is being remodeled and prepared to host missions.

  • A new house was added near the apartments (interior not modeled yet).

  • The motel was remodeled (the exterior is about 80% complete and will soon be fully usable).

  • We’ve started reworking the beach. It’s a slow process, so we’re making small improvements now to prepare it for future content.

  • A cinema has been added to the map 🎬
    You can be sure a lot of cool content will come from this location 😏
    

• We’ve started generating time-of-day renders ☀️🌇🌙
  Every environment in the game has versions for morning, afternoon, night, and late night.
  This is a huge task, but we’ve officially begun this phase.
  

💻 Code & Programming

• A complete game needs a strong and polished interface, with effects, shaders, and good game juice ✨
  This week, we made great progress on a glow shader to highlight interactive and clickable elements in the environment.

• The map code was refactored, making it easier to implement multiple systems — including quests, music, and visual effects.

• We optimized our loading system ⚙️
  Now, whenever you enter a location, the game preloads all possible connected areas.
  This means that once you move between locations, transitions are instant and seamless.
  

  Thanks again for all the support ❤️
  Weekly progress updates will keep coming, and things are about to get even more exciting 🚀
