Fades for Rooms

Summary: In which a trader's appearance is worked on; room-edges fade into the background; room-covers are improved; a level is begun in earnest; and some bugs are found and attended to.

This week's screenshot shows updates to the "Hall of Artefacts" in the Vertical Slice Moon:

The week just past was perhaps given primarily to a new aesthetic feature, to changes in the room-cover system--and to some significant bug-hunting. And with a few other things done besides!

Lighting and Looks

Summary: In which an editor is made for the purpose of lighting; a shader is updated; another shader gains some variation; the appearances of two levels see work, as does their moon-exterior; the interaction icon is changed in look and placement; an NPC is being modelled; and certain enemies may seek mana.

Greetings and salutations!

This week's screenshot shows a few changes in the tutorial level: some decor, some lighting, and some variation in the tiled floor:
