Gone Homeless: Hobo simulator update!
Thought I need to post an update since I haven't been for a month, I been busy with the tutorial, day/night and making the world look prettier and a bunch of other crap while trying to make time to relax a little bit (if you'd call that constant nagging in your brain that lets you know you have this game to finish) and my full time job.
I want to do more regular updates because people miss things, not everyone has the time to spend on tumblr, this weeks all about getting the rest of the bugs out and everything ready for a proper video demo showing off the game.
Unfortunately, my homeless main char is still not finished in time, if it was done this week I might get a chance to put him in, but it would mean a whole new animation system which I have partially written but I cannot continue till he's feature complete, but going by what I have seen he will be something I will be proud of (I'm VERY hard to please).
I really want the first demo to have the main char in it, but we can't have everything.
Added: A preset stats for items
Added: An optional tutorial starting area, you can learn all the controls and what the game has to offer here, there’s too much development work to bother listing everything.
