I’ve spent the last 2 days working on the pause menu in game options menu. I’ve fixed a couple issues and most likely added more. I feel comfortable enough to show the first “dev” build in screenshots. Still a lot of work to do!

V0.2 - Concession Boss

    • In game options menu is basically done. Just need to hook it up and everything will work. Ill do this later on
    • debug screen shuts off when player pauses the game
    • pause screen is done. I MAY add a small feature WAY WAY later in development.
    • in game store is half way through.
    • suitable for first build video.
    • fixed a collision bug. The rigid-body for the player wasn’t colliding with anything while running in executable. I had to add a simple awake function.

Sounds neat, I’ll be following your progress!

Thanks! I really want to finish this project. I’m tired of just being a starter. I’ve spent the last 2 years developing for a mod called “Bukkit” for minecraft. It really taught me how to be clean and organized when it comes to developing. There a was still is a specific guide line you must follow when posting your plugin. I still would like to change the colors and maybe the spacing of the OP. It feels too mushed together.

Concession boss is a rather large project. As far as I see it, its’ a challenge but it won’t be impossible to complete. The only major problem is that I need to create many 3D objects and I’m extremely “under qualified” to produce proper models. Many of the current models are “solidified”. This makes the file sizes larger than they should be. For some reason the normals of all my models are facing inwards. When I do make them flop, it tends to corrupt the model completely.

Ill make sure to keep the OP/ thread updated. v0.3 will take awhile.

v0.3 Todo:

  • Fix errors with in game options and make it work fully.
  • Finish Store. Be able to buy sell objects.

Been very busy with other things. I haven’t had much time to work on the project. I’ve mostly got the in game options menu done. The main options menu will look the same. Sorry I don’t have anything impressive to show.

as far as i’m concerned i’m finished with the options for now. I may add one more thing to it though. I won’t upload anymore images of it. Added hints tips screen. Its’ timed to appear at a custom amount. Can be turned off to prevent the player from going stir crazy. Fixed a few bugs, added a few checks to prevent specific windows from opening up. At the moment there is 30-40 tips/hints.

Ill just take the next update each day as it goes. Not sure what ill work on.

Sorry I haven’t had an update in the past two weeks. I lost interest in the project and started doing other things. I’ve come back and started working on models and started messing around with graphics. I was able to figure out tessellation for the materials. I’ve made a model for a new yorker style hot dog cart, a 50qt, 100,150, and 200 qt cooler. I’ve rigged and animated the coolers. Everything is still to metric scale.

Like always take a look at the dropbox link for all the blender renders. All Images shown and or related to this project are considered works in progress. This is not the final product. Some bugs, flaws, and general issues will appear or occur.

Tessellation Test on the 50qt cooler.

Thanks magnus :smile: . There is one thing that is bothering me with my project. I’m trying to get my head wrapped around the concept of grid placement like on the sims games. I haven’t really coded much of the system yet though. My idea is to get the amount of time that the texture is tiled and use that number as the amount of current blocks within the grid.

Heres what i’ve coded so far.

  • Editing System
  • Grid System
    My intentions are to make it so the models / game objects fit within the tiles and snap into place. I want to be able to edit it after the object has been placed. Click pick up the object, rotate and snap into another location.
