Prefabbed construction has been thrown out, in place for modular construction.
A Player will plot their structures with scaffolds. Allowing them to build walls, floors, and ceilings.
Having a modular building system means you can design your buildings however you want!
There will still be some prefabbed building, to give a nice mix between types of structures your city could have!
This is exactly how I felt as I began coding the new construction features :)
Is there a way to 'beta-test' the game while it's in development? I'd vote for this game on Steam, seeing as it's looking pretty darn good. Also, you should try putting a couple of easter eggs (surprises) in the game somewhere.
I am working toward a single player demo, which will hopefully be a decent sized island and quite a bit of features. Most of the game is white box at the moment, I'm not much of a 3d modeler, and I buy models where they match the visual fidelity I seek to achieve.
Hopefully as time goes by you like what I'm doing. Eventually it will be a large persistent world we can all live in. Or atleast this is my dream :)
Such as a 3D Multiplayer world where everyone can join? I might just be able to model a 3D character model. Perhaps make the game pixel or voxel based so you won't have much trouble?
I do plan on having some kind of Voxel terrain, I want everyone to be able to dig and modify the world around them.
Could you use a 3D modeler to help out with the game? I don't require payment.
I will be seeking modeling help eventually definitely. Since I'm far from a 3d artist/texturer. But at the moment, I'm making it look as good as I can with least effort possible.
At the moment I am focused on gameplay functionality :)
Alright, good luck. :)
