Data-Driven Cameras
What it do everyone!
This week I really thought I was going to push Effects and Stats farther, but my mind decided it wanted to work on Cameras instead.
Naturally, I've setup a csv -> .tres pipeline like with all of my systems. As I mentioned in my announcement post, until I have a 3d scene to test I am limited to 2d but I have confirmed that the pipeline is functional.
I then pushed the same camera profiles to be used for the MiniMap where I have spent the majority of my week working on wiring up NPC/Storage/Treasure and Quest objective markers. Then setting up Homing Objectives for story and side quests.
The last thing I worked on before dropping this weeks video was FogOfWar and ensuring it didnt lag the hell out of the game haha Its only in the minimap right now, but that's what I do plan on working on for the next week among Location markers for travel and Zones/Areas for marking quest objectives as well. i.e. (go here to find what you need type shit)
Anyways, I appreciate your time and want to thank you for visiting my shitty project! lol
Please, if you have any questions about the project at all, I'd love to answer them!
