Bigger Update:

08/04/2023

(Again none of this is in the live version of Itch.io.. and may not be until I finalise the new direction I'm going in!)

So I decided that I felt like I was stagnating on the game, I wasn't too sure of the game's final goal and the gameplay loop wasn't doing it for me, so I think I'm going to aim toward making it more combat-orientated or even a Rogue-Lite/Light!

And as is typical for me, when I decide to focus more on game mechanics and not art.. I focus on the art :P

I made some textures for the asteroid terrain:



And added a day/night cycle complete with fireflies!



Not satisfied with improving the visuals this much already, I decided to work out how to do reflections and ripples:

I'll then decided maybe it was time to add a mechanic to this blank slate of a game (I started all over again, AGAIN!)
So here's me trying to wrangle those pesky carrots!

I also improved upon the night phase by adding darker darkness and actual working light around the fireflies!

So there you go, you're caught up to date! Wish me luck and hopefully I'll add some gameplay to this game rather than fluff around with visuals at some point this week! <3
