I'm still not sure what will happen with materials (or grass/rocks) on these custom meshes, but those are things I'll need to experiment with either way. After Steam Workshop is mostly functional, the final big feature to go in will be custom meshes for islands. I'm hoping by writing about the issues, it'll spark an idea/alternative that works better (as sometimes happens), but so far I don't have any new ideas.Īnyway, I'm approaching the point where I'm just hooking things up to the UI and tweaking the look.

I tried to revise the UI system early in Instruments development to use more data and less code, but it only partially solved the problems and caused more than it solved, so I scrapped the changes and use basically the same UI system I've been using for the past 10 years-define the look of the UI in one code file, and the behaviors of the buttons in another-with a few minor improvements. Working on UI for my games can be a bit tedious, partly because there's just so much of it, and Instruments is no exception, so it's been a slog for the past few days.

With those changes working, I recently moved onto making the Steam Workshop interface for structures and islands. It's unlikely the current structures will change too much, but expect future buildings to be less boxy and more colorful.

Combined with the new full rotation controls (instead of only 90 degree increments), you'll be able to create buildings of nearly any shape. Unlike normal box decals, wedges have collision before they break off the structure they're attached to. The second major change is the addition of wedge blocks, which are a kind of decal block (smaller building pieces that can't be broken down further). This makes it easier for custom islands to have more cohesive color themes without having to create multiple copies of a structure. There are 10 colors to choose from, and you can set the available paint colors per island. The first thing to note is the blue and red colored blocks are concrete, with all materials except glass being paintable. I don't know what that is, but it does demonstrate the new structural features. Previously a structure like this was impossible to build: The first wave of changes are all in and working, with just a few bugs left to iron out. WEDGES, ROTATIONAL FREEDOM, AND PAINTED BLOCKS
#Instruments of destruction unedited update
The first large update will be focused on Structures and Island creation, with some significant changes and new features all coming at once. ‘Instruments of Destruction’ is developed by ‘Radiangames’ and is available on Steam.As previously discussed, the pace of game updates is changing. As players progress through the game, they will unlock new parts and features that can be used to build bigger, wilder, more destructive machines. The goal of the game is to destroy everything on the map in the most spectacular and effective manner possible, with advanced physics-based destruction. More parts are being added to the game all the time, and players are able to customize the vehicle's aesthetics and control systems as part of the custom building experience that the game offers. Sometimes a single wrecking ball is not enough. Players have the freedom of invention with their machines, selecting from a wide range of parts to build their machines with. The game allows players to design and build unique machines of destruction with their imaginations being their only limitation. Players are in control of the process of destruction from start to finish. ‘ Instruments of Destruction’ on the other hand, allows players to unleash as much destruction as they want without any of the nasty consequences that come with it in real life. Unleashing the destructive power of a wrecking ball. However, the urge to destroy stuff is something plenty of little kids and adults alike have given into at some point or another, and generally, the consequences aren’t all that great. The urge to destroy things is generally discouraged throughout life, mostly because destruction does not generally have a positive or upbuilding outcome or purpose.
