The Eye of Malevolence

I think this might be the only status update until 21st of October (the Monday in two weeks).

(Wishlists Appreciated!)

There isn't that much to announce right now in terms of development tasks. Next week I will unfortunately not be able to work at my PC due to some urgent matters that will require me to be away from home for a week or so which means that the next week won't be very productive for animation/unity development, but if I'm lucky I might be able to get some writing & planning done for the Ship side-content scenes post-village.

Below I'm going to list what I'll be doing this week, sorted by priority:

• Finish a meta loading screen animation.

• Start animating and hopefully finish one of the only scenes left for the village bar.

• Work on drawing the Hub art assets and if possible get it into Unity as a gameplay scene.

• Post the latest public build on a few platforms other than itch.

In terms of bugs, we have the following:

• The game looks off on non 16:9 resolutions including ultrawide aspect ratios. This issue is only present on desktop platforms, on Android the letterboxing works as it should. I did some UI corrections, but there are many UIs in the game right now so it'd be nice if there was a solution like letterboxing because it could fix ultrawide issues as well.

• During the ISA, time doesn't ever change. Regarding this, I'm not really sure if it's something that needs to be fixed, maybe it should be possible to click on the minimap and reveal/hide the time of day text in case seeing that text there is annoying.

• The Character Window doesn't display the character. This is a new issue caused by a recent optimization change. It's not difficult to fix this, but I'm wondering if players would like to be able to see the character window of NPC characters (to see their dialogue avatar even though you're not in dialogue), case in which I would need to make a bigger change.

So that's about it for the next 1-2 weeks. I hope October will be pleasant for all of you and see you on the 21st!
