   12. Ambience and SoundFX - Added ambience in the game to give it some form of life. Also added soundFX to the work animations of the citizens which helps give that lively sound effect.

   13. Citizen Energy, Hunger, Cloth and Tool - Now the citizen gets tired and hungry also their cloths and tools degrade after sometime. So the player must make sure the citizens get enough sleep, have enough food, cloth and tools to function well.

   14. Random citizen creation - Now when a citizen is created a random look is given to it so that it looks unique compared to others.

Notes:

    Again all the models, sound, UI etc are place holders, they will be changed in the final look. In the future I am thinking of adding citizen birth, temperature, seasons and maybe the 3rd person player controlled character. So stay tuned for the next episode guys.

 K Out!

3rd Person Update

Image
So have been working with the 3rd person aspect of the game. So far it is going good. Finally got done with the combo system. Got the model and animation from the asset store to test out and will be replaced later or developed upon it. Was also working on the visual effects on the combo system. So far looking good, will try to do the movements as well. The Effect: 1. The ground rocks -  For the rock particle effects I used mesh as particles and made them have collision enabled so that they don't go through the ground and instead stays on it. I also set "Gravity Modifier" to 1  and "Velocity over life time" between (2, -10, 5) to (-2, -1, -5) to get the ground shatter look. Enabled the "Size over lifetime" and messed around with it till I got the perfect look. Also there are like 5 of them and each one is in-front of another and I used "Burst - Time" in Emission to tell when they will be activated so looks like the ground is shattering

The player can decide how big the farm should be. For now the cost of making the farm is fixed but in future the size of the farm will decide the cost of making it.

It plants the crop and once the crop has grown to full size it will start to harvest them. This AI also transport the harvest crop to the storage building.
