A lot of new updates, I haven’t really been posting much due to a crazy schedule, but here is the summary:

-night / day revolutions now done, stars come out at night etc.  Sun and Moon added that revolve around the map to give the idea of time
-Clouds, sky RGB color at certain times of day
-Sun flares and FX
-Weather added such as rain / snow, thunderstorms
-Audio / Sound FX
-ESD buildup on player, must discharge before working with electronics, but you can discharch ESD into certain objects to receive in game rewards.  Weather modifies the ESD buildup.
-Temperature now added to the game, this will affect how the technology will function
-Profile layout as you can see in the photos below
-EMI sensor, if you enter an area or work on a job that has EMI, you will learn how to deal with it

Yea this is a bug.

Began working on player movement and key binding.  So far everything is working out very well.  Using one of my old models I had for older games for the time being.  I also added an account system which now shows your profile picture.  The level editor is being redesigned to support up to 10 maps, adding / removing of objects, along with better game flow.  This level editor will also give us the chance to test out the key binding system.

 

We have launched a new contest campaign which will allow players to receive a free copy of Computer Repair Simulator.  To see full contest details, visit the page below:

World Editor Contest

Just some visuals of how the game is coming along.  A lot of code has been added to allow the options to set by the player, along with key binding so players can customize which keys do what.

The little people are nothing more than “potential customer pointers” for now, they need cleaned up a bit, but they will be the clients you are working with.

A world editor has been created for the development team so that they can easily build cities / towns / scenario adding everything from roads, to buildings, to trees / plants, to computer hardware, shelves, tables, etc…The data is saved to a file which can be opened again.  This will also open up the possibility of major mods to the game, allowing players to create new models and easily implementing them.

The next release will contain a mini game called “Computer Repair Simulator – Rack 42”, which will be a mini arcade game with high scores from other players around the world.  The point of the game is to prepare the 42RU rack for server installation, then you must place the cage nuts, server rack rails, and then the server in the rack.  You need to build as many racks as you can, but you are up against the clock.  As you advance the levels will get more difficult.  The point here is to prepare a fun game that incorporates teaching principles of how servers are installed in racks, while testing some of the most critical game features before moving to the next steps.

The summary of 0.8.0.1 was the initial Launcher.  Now that the Launcher is done, the game is now being worked on.

 

Just a video of how the launcher works and what all is implemented.

The single player accounts is pretty well all done.  There is an option to have 3 local accounts that are independently managed, with the option to reset it back to defaults.  Also note that the currency is starting to work pretty well across the board.
