[i]Jasmine and I testing out Julian’s systems of stacking, snapping, and containers~ 🥰[/i]
Julian:
[list]
[*] Snapping and Zone Tests for objects for easier placement
[*] Putting objects inside of other objects (stacking objects) (yes, you can now repot plants into other pots technically) - it’s not perfect yet but we’re definitely going to be working on it further after the Gamescom build!
[*] Refactoring container and creative mode managers
[/list]

We also have an additional programmer, Zac, who is helping out with our databases and systems and will be helping create additional tools for development. 🤩 Jasmine’s partner, Ryan, has been making updates to the website which you can see [url=https://playmomento.com/]here[/url]! We also have our audio team SubZero and our composer, Mikey O’Neil, doing a lot of cool stuff in the music and SFX department! 🎶 I’m using too many exclamation points!!
Stay tuned for more updates! ✨ We’re going to aim to be more present on socials in the coming months~ ✨ With our creative mode almost finished, we’re going to have a lot more content to share 🥰 We hope you have a great month coming up!
All of the love 💕
