Today UMeFate team presents a quick update on the progress of map editor and basics constructing on land plots. UMes are in a phase of improving the map editor and to allow making ground floor construction buildings.

Nearly 2 months past, since UMeFate last blog post. But I can assure you, UMes were working hard. Well for most of the part, besides chilling during x-mas period and NewYear 🍾🎇

Last month major focus was on improving land plots and developing tools, to help creating world. Also to support later modding features. In this post, there is a bit of mechanics and some technical discussions.

As part of continuous updates and making game feeling more intuitive, rework has been done by changing general main menu, adding bug report and feedback system.

A bit of fun recording, while working on importing meshes modding feature. Something that I need in core mechanics, before starting work on AI.

In this next vid update, I showcase basics walls building mechanics implementation to the main game, with snapping and auto generating rooms feature.

Basics building rooms test

This is more an experiment. Basically this test purpose is to simulate 10 thousands of created items in the world of various categories, like Fridge, chairs, or TV. Then I test algorithm, which effectively assigns to plots, premises, and rooms items that belongs too. Fast algorithm optimisation, allows for fast lookup for items.

This is one of many performance tests I conduct recently, as primary focus.
