Weekly Update - Tree Fade, Bug Fixes
Bug Fixes
The primary goal last week was to do a bit of testing and address items that were likely to get in the way of capturing footage for the upcoming video. Here's a short list of items that were addressed:
- FIXED: Bad collision geometry on bridges and piers were allowing characters to slip through gaps.
- FIXED: Bad audio gain fall-off settings for various objects including the firepit and fishing sounds. (They were playing loudly even when far away)
- FIXED: Sounds and particle effects for food cooking on grill were not appearing/playing sometimes.
- FIXED: Path-finding issue regarding the eastern bridge in the Bamboo Gardens.
- FIXED: Jidou walk animations sometimes wouldn't play properly.
- FIXED: Items displayed on tables float a noticeable distance above the tables.
- FIXED: Fish floats appear floating above the water surface when cast by an NPC.
- FIXED: Removed spoiled fish/foods from crates and prevent characters from eating spoiled foods. (Doing so fills up their stomach so they can't eat more, but doesn't restore energy.)
- FIXED: Characters were still foraging for fruit even when cooked fish was available.
Tree Transition Fade
For some time now trees have 'popped' abruptly between LOD levels, and I feel it's been a bit of an eyesore in previous videos. I added a basic dissolve transition between LOD levels, and it helps some. Admittedly there is still room for improvement.
Path Clutter
And finally, on a whim I decided to try adding rocks along the edges of paths in the Bamboo Gardens. I was hoping it would help 'hide' some of the aliasing in the splat maps, but perhaps it just makes matters worse on that front. But I do like the look of the stone 'outlining' the paths.
There are still a few items listed on my whiteboard that I'll try to address this week, and I hope to start collecting footage as well.

Weekly Update - Tree Fade, Bug Fixes
Last week I focused on testing and fixing bugs in preparation for the upcoming video, and managed to implement a few small improvements I've been wanting.
Weekly Update - AI Cooking and Deliveries
As the mid-year point closes in I spent time this week trying to wrap up the foundational NPC behaviors and get a few new behaviors in place. As I transition to working on a video update over the next few weeks these updates will likely look a little different - with tasks related more to debugging and video production and less world building.
Weekly Update - AI Tasks, Southern Kasau Design Pass
This week I worked on a new "Task" system to compliment AI Behaviors, gave the southern side of the Isle of Kasau some preliminary layout passes, and improved the sea rendering.
Weekly Update - Burning Sands, Treasure Chests, Topo Map
This week I added two new regions to the game and improved a third, added treasure chests to make exploration more fun, and experimented with a new topographic style map.
Weekly Update - Fell Trees Behavior, Logging Camp, Bamboo Ponds
This week I implemented a new AI Behavior for felling trees, improved the area around the logging camp, and added a new "Bamboo Ponds" area nearby.
