I finally got a #Steam page up!
ETOS is an immersive sim focused on exploration, world and system interaction, and making pacifist gameplay fun for the average person
If any of that sounds interesting to you, consider wishlisting!

Had to spend some time overhauling my entire ui to allow for localization
Incredibly boring and tedious but necessary work
Highly recommend doing this kinda thing BEFORE you make a bajillion ui elements

Also overhauled all the ui elements visually by swapping from text to textmeshpro
Again, very boring, very necessary, very much shouldve happened sooner

I chose to start developing my own imsim because i had a game idea that i thought would be great
and came to the conclusion that even if someone else had the same idea no rational business oriented company would ever make it
but i still wanted it to exist so

A terrible terrible one but most indie immersive sim developers never factored in the economy hehe

Tagging materials with what theyre supposed to be made of is now a thing
In unity, a material only has data about how it looks, not what its made of
My materials do, and is automatically tagging the objects that use it, so the game knows "this is wood, play wood foot sounds"
Haven’t done yet but yea tagging different materials with what they’re supposed to be made of (wood, metal, concrete, etc) will be a thing
That way I can do accurate footstep sounds among other things (wooden props will be destructible, metallic objects are grappling points etc)

"I've played plenty of games that had different footstep sounds, if materials in games dont do this by default then how did they do that" They tagged the objects manually, it sucks

Added a "move shape" function to my games level editor
Lets you move the floor shapes from one room to another, allowing you to quickly and easily remodel the layout of a level
And gave me an excuse to make a big funny arrow

So much of my time on this level editor is now just hooking up my code to the buttons and textboxes that past me gleefully threw around this ui
Anyway, the material editor panel is now fully working

Objects inside a cutout now have scaling and anchoring options!
you can either have them locked to an edge/center or have them scale when the cutout gets scaled
and when stretching goes too far you can set them to array
oh and you can now rotate cutouts
Added scaling and nine slicing to the cutouts!
Nine slicing is a scaling method that preserves the size of corners and stretches everything else, allowing for the edges of shapes to be preserved
Ive only ever seen this used for sprites, unsure if its been attempted elsewhere?
