🏠 Roofs + Animating Sleeping Paras + Bonus Cookies and Drinks (Patreon)

Hi! It’s Alex.

I have a few small updates to share this week so let’s get started! This post is for Patrons only so please don’t share it, thanks! 🔒

🏠 Roofs

Chloé and Jérémie are currently developing a first version of our roof tools! This was one of the build mode features that we hadn’t worked on much yet.

Roofs are built using pieces that you can resize and combine.

A cute little house that Chloé made using two roof objects.

Chloé will be creating various roof objects with different textures, shapes and trims. We’re looking forward to showcasing how they can be used to cover up all kinds of floor plans! After the initial Early Access release of the game, we plan to add more advanced customization options for roofs.

🛌 Animating Bedsheets to Make Sure Our Parafolks Sleep Well

A little while ago, Alejandro worked on a very technical but very much needed piece of the live mode: animations for bed sheets when Parafolks are sleeping. It was definitely tricky because we had to make sure the sheets adapt to whichever size of Parafolk and any pose they might currently have.

As you know, the beds are resizable, so animating the bedsheets couldn’t be done in a simple and traditional way. It required us to do it with some fancy code that deforms the sheets dynamically based on the characters under them instead. It was a fun challenge!

🍪 Bonus From Last Week’s Post: Cookies and Drinks!

Last week’s post was all about new meals that Léa and Chloé created for the game. Today, I’m sharing a few more screenshots with all new food and drink items:

Fancy some Cookies? Chloé got you covered, fresh out of the oven! Chocolate chip, ube, oatmeal, and peanut butter.

Want a luxurious coffee? Here is a latte or an espresso just for you. Order them at a café or make them at home.

What's the most tasty way to get a lot of vitamins? Smoothies, of course.

From left to right: blueberry, carrot, coconut, mango, raspberry, spinach, and strawberry.

Have a great weekend everyone! ☕
