PNG RPG changes
Here's a breakdown of what I've been working on performance wise.
-Swapping actors to instances at distance to reduce actor count.(Tremendous performance boost but still inconstant with swapping back and fourth with actors.)
-Revamped Terrain generation style. Terrain should be much larger, mountains taller, and oceans bigger. Overall everything was stretched out to make it not so bumpy.
-New monster enemy: Lants. Tree like spiders.
-4 new Human enemies
-Bandit, Bandit Archer, Bandit Berserker, Bandit Leader.
-Bandit Keep: A large fortress taken over by a group of bandits.
So far no animations have been done for the enemy types. So their sprites are static and always facing the same way for now while I figure out their attack patterns/what's fun.
-Player customization. I had this working but somehow broke it horrendously and can't get it to work again. Gonna keep messing with it.
-A new mini text cutscene happens when starting a new world.
-Wall Damage: Building damage has been fully implemented. When a building hits 1/4 of it's health it will appear broken and damage.
-Use the builder hammer to repair the building.
-If a buildings health reaches zero the wall will be destroyed.
