Hello again!

On Friday we broadcast our first Twitch stream, in which we played the UE3 Pre-Alpha Demo and chatted about Eden Star, where we’re going, what’s coming up, and a lot of bumbling geeky things! You can still see it here, and can subscribe to be notified when we do our next stream!

This week we have been mostly…

• Continuing planning the behaviour system for ground-based AI and starting to implement it
• Working on the new construction system
