It's [b]Skywatch[/b] time! It's an exciting time for the Lost Skies team, as we're preparing the first official gameplay reveal trailer (we'll have more news on that soon). Aside from that, development continues in earnest on the game, here's a look at what the team have been working on over the past couple of weeks. [b][h1]Character Team[/h1][/b] First up, we have another outfit concept to show off from our character team. This design is imagined as an engineer outfit, designed to be a bit "chunkier” than the lighter outfits we've shown so far. This gives you a first look at our heavier clothing/armour, which will offer different stat boosts/bonuses when compared to light outfits, useful for different situations.

The first clip below shows the VFX that occurs when you hit the rocks 'core' in different lighting conditions and different states. You'll want to avoid doing this as hitting the core too many times with your mining tool will destroy the rock entirely. You'll want to try and mine the stone casing and, in the case of metal nodes, carefully aim for the nuggets of ore that will be visible. The second clip shows the full mining VFX loop as it stands currently, including SFX and also demonstrates rock destruction due to overmining the core (VFX & SFX should be considered a WIP).
