Building Blocks

Summary: In which stone blocks are made; said blocks make for some detritus and traversal; a "pit area" is detailed; some ruined buildings look better-ruined; text accessibility options are added; and a grid-cell line-of-sight issue is addressed.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshots show that not all buildings in level two are entirely in one piece:

(There's also a third screenshot of another of the week's changes within the post-body.)

The week just past was rather more productive than the one before, I feel!

Rubble, Rubble, Toil and Trouble

Summary: In which rubble proves troublesome, but is (I think) improved; but not much else is done.

Greetings and salutations!

For this week's screenshot, a revised version of the rubble from last week:

The week just past was dominated almost entirely by that rubble (not helped, perhaps, by some lack of sleep):

Painting Over Holes

Summary: In which building skirts and street-stairs are finished (for now, at least); rubble proves challenging; the meetings of street-meshes are fixed; I accidentally paint over a bunch of darkness (then fix it); and a fair few other changes are made, but not detailed.

Greetings and salutations!

For this week's screenshot, some rubble choking a square--but also providing a means of ascent--in the buried city in which level two takes place:

I'm not sure to what degree that rubble is final. I'm not entirely happy with it, so I may well rework it entirely.

The week just past was one of work on a variety of elements of the level, but perhaps especially on its geometry. Let me elaborate:

The Streets Underfoot

Summary: In which the buildings meet the streets; the streets gain distinct meshes; the streets are cobbled; stairs and ladders are added; a script varies the level's colours; "additional transparency" is replaced by "lightening" in a shader; and the music to the intro cutscene sees revision.

Greetings and salutations!

Once again, I have a number of screenshots this week, and so intend to spread them out over the course of the post. In this case, they show some of the work that has been done on level two:

The week just past was a bit of a slow one, I feel, but a number of things did get done:

The Round-About Route

Summary: [b]In which a traversal-route in level two sees work; windows are unified; chairs are made; doors and windows see work, and an interactive one each is added to the level; and I experiment with the title-screen backdrop.[/b]

Greetings and salutations!

For this week's screenshots, a bit of traversal; specifically, part of the way out of the level. Since I have three screenshots this week, I'll scatter them over the course of the post. To start with, the problem: how do we get up there?

The week just past saw a lot of minor changes and fixes to level two, but nevertheless a number of more-salient things were also done:
