Devlog 3 Update

What’s Done:

• Hands & Animations:

  • Added hands and their animations.
  • Animations react to jumping, running, walking, and walls ahead.
  • (Next step: Completing interactions with boxes.)

• New Features:

  • Added the ability to pet the cat.
  • Fully functional inventory and a storage chest in the living room.
  • Computer System:
    • The computer is now functional.
    • It will provide instructions and serve as a terminal for inserting floppy disks that reveal lore.
    • (Next step: Adding the floppy disks.)

• Visual Improvements:

  • Shaders now include shadows (previously missing).
  • Added a light PSX-style fog for atmosphere.

• Elevator Logic:

  • Added checklists to verify box accuracy.
  • Incorrect boxes will now trigger negative events.
  • (Next step: Adding these events.)

• Day Cycle System:

  • The cycle now ends when the player returns to their room and sleeps.
  • Added a sleep animation and camera transition during sleep.
  • (Next step: Adding sleep-related events.)

• Level Design:

  • Doors have been placed across all levels.
  • The final level still requires texturing, followed by adding details and props.
  • Models for hostile creatures are ready; implementing their behavior is next.

• Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed minor issues, such as inventory not opening correctly.

• Narrative Progress:

  • Added the first player interaction with the system:
    • "Follow instructions or die."
    • This serves as both a narrative hook and a way to ensure players read the rules, controls, and mechanics.

Next Steps:

• Add item models to the game.
• Implement floppy disk content for the computer.
• Add negative events for incorrect box deliveries.
• Complete texturing and detail work for the final level.
• Implement hostile creature logic.
