Fantastic writeup, was a great opportunity!

Been working on the @dystopiapunk.bsky.social customizer, started building out a basic wardrobe UI, all very WiP but it's functional and the pipeline for adding new clothing is super solid and fairly quick now too.

Pretty happy with how it's coming along

#screenshotsaturday #cyberpunk

while everyone was watching sportsy stuff, spent the evening battle hardening the network core for @dystopiapunk.bsky.social

Tons of debug logging & tools etc...

Of course, that's not very sexy at all, so here's a new outfit for one of our heroes

Thanks!

New map WiP, will have the enemies running around shortly

top down plan for the map, doing quick paper design for object placement / layout ideas

current version of the map, still very WiP

working on a new mission for @dystopiapunk.bsky.social

not sure about the lighting yet but it's coming along slowly...

How it started | How it's going

Doing some perf testing of the traffic / pedestrian system. Always hilarious to see how the traffic responds to people randomly walking everywhere

ok got the vision modes in (night vision & thermal), added a shadow detector, which means I can show / hide the outline (and do other fun stuff later).

Also started integrating interactive elements (doors / etc).

We've been buckled down producing a trailer that we can show around GDC, so here's a new character in the meantime 🤣

Finally had some time to work on the character gym for @dystopiapunk.bsky.social , trying to get all of the abilities stable and behaving properly.

And a full body clip of the last character, rocking her crazy outfit.

Adding her in this week, the vest will have full secondary physics etc as well as her hair.

Been busy doing a refactor for another project this week, but here's another outfit for one of our characters!
