Devblog #21 - Animation view, attributes, misc, BETA changelog
Thanks to the developers for their fantastic work and support!
Now that we've completed our first BETA we've identified a handful of bugs and have successfully fixed them, all thanks to the helping participation of everyone here! Below are a few new additions but the main chunk of this devblog is in the last section with the the BETA result changelog. I consider the BETA a success with good stability proven and performance assured. Hope you've all had fun exploring the new features!
1. Animation view
When using animations you'll now enter thirdperson and you're able to zoom in/out while you're at it! In addition to the thirdperson animation view we've introduced a couple of new animations for citizens and CPs including the salute as shown on the streamable above. New animations can be found with /actstand 1-4
2. Attributes now show which skill it levels up in char creation
When you select attributes during character creation you're now able to much more visibly see what the affects of selecting certain attributes are. Once you've selected your attributes and visit the "skills" tab you'll notice which skills your attributes affect with the green "attribute levels" text. This is also shown on the skills UI.
3. Misc updates
3.1 Door text visuals
We've updated the visuals of door texts from the previous large blue background and have reduced the text size to make it less of a immersion breaker.
3.2 POS device update
We've updated the POS device for shop owners. You're now able to lock a POS device to your ID card meaning if said device gets stolen the thieves cannot use it unless you've unlocked the device. We've also updated the icons to make more sense and we've added a "show transactions" option, allowing you to browse the latest transactions, complete with a new UI to make it more easy to manage. Each transactions now also requires a "reason" to help tracking.
