Dev Update: Swimming and Floating Objects


Now that our pirate has taken a few lessons we are proud to show off his swimming skills!

This update has been prolonged for a little while, because we didn't realize what a struggle it would be to have the character be able to swim. The complex generation of the waves we have created made it harder to have the swimming working well. Nonetheless, we have reached our goal and it looks damn fine!
We've also included a stamina meter, so that you can't swim across the entire ocean without needing a ship :P





A smaller update: Our programmers have made it so logs interact with water in a realistic way. When thrown into the sea, the logs will experience buoyancy and float back to the beach with the waves, washing up on the shore.


Also if you were wondering, stone will sink just like it should, so don't go throwing it into the ocean! (Stone hasn't been discussed before so yes. Stone confirmed.)

Stay tuned for more progress updates!
