Devlog - 5th July - Progress V1.40

Hi,

the last two days I was sucked into coding the Beacon of Assembly. Originally I just wanted to make a puzzle (bootstrap the Beacon by providing some materials) out of it but story wise that was weak so i decided to implement an Industrial Replicator Instead.

Dev-Log - 21st of June - Progress V1.40 (NSFW)

Hi,

today I finalized the code and renders for VIP-selected Character 1 (T'Ris) Mess Hall Dances.

To get a bit more interactivity you can cycle through the dance moves and the character learns new moves the more they dance :)

I also made the framework for all other characters already.

See some attached...

Point (a) is good and high time I think if considering some anime games ...
