Hello, and happy Screenshot Saturday! This time for HYADES, we've improved navigation in the warehouse by addressing one specific pet peeve both players and I have had for years now...
(For a gif of movement through this crate, check out our twitter post at https://twitter.com/HYADESRPG/status/1401272221876690944!)
Before, this crate didn't have an opening at the back? As such, maybe players got confused on where to go and didn't recognize the goopy yellow arrow on the ground! I don't blame them though, I completely understand why people got stuck and it was my fault in the first place!
But now, there's a big ol' opening in the back for Marsh and friends to walk through! Already even though it's not in the public build yet, I can already tell it's a stronger landmark for the player, and easier to navigate through!
It's crazy to think about how literal years of progress has manifested into this one crate... I've become a lot better at mapping since then, I only implemented the improved parallax tools needed for this kind of movement a month ago or two... it's good to look back on the growth we've made as a team and I've had as a developer over time!
This being said, it's not in our public build yet, which means... THERE'S A LIMITED TIME TO PARTAKE IN HYADES HISTORY AND SEE THE OLD CRATE! GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO
