In these regular updates we will bring fresh content to Hive, in the form of our game coding experiences; IBT is a developing PC game - the one to have future Crypto interactions.
Building Started
Now that the beams, posts and sheets of corrugated iron are created, given gravity and coded to save it's now fun time creating IBT Island. The buildings or shelters you come across are destructible for resources or useable for you to stay in so you can stay out of nasty weather and the elements.
Sneaky way of creating actors
We have created a sneaky way of getting the actors. (meshes/building materials) sticking together using blocking volumes. The blocking volumes are the pink coloured square/rectangle shaped lines you see in the image. They basically slot into each other and are hidden in the game. This makes the structures stand and if a main support is taken away the building will fall.
Here is an example
This shelter can be found in IBT Island. The shelter can be completely removed and the resources can be stored for later allowing you to be able to build a shelter of your own. There will be a limit of resources you can carry in future updates.
And another update is done, see you at the next update.
We have a Discord Channel, if keen for it pop a message here and jump in and drop us a line and help with some testing.
