Progress looks great! I love the tag system, it will definitely increase the potential of all machines. Sorry to hear about your medical issues. I hope your treatment goes well :)

[@travispettry3025]

I'm excited for the new machines. Also, my dad use to run saw mills back in the day and he's excited for the game. Keep up the great work!

[@perezident14]

UNRELATED: would you be open on doing a setup video of some sort? Also, what is your computer’s specs and what’s recommended to get into game development?

[@Steveplays28]

Nice devlog Ben! Hope you get better soon too. I really like the way the new item system works! Very clever! :D And the ID tool is also very cool!

[@pampogokiraly9635]

this game just gets better and better! I like this new unique way of working with the items! keep it up man!

Wow only 33 comments? Never been this early. Nice video, I have been waiting for another because this series is awesome!

it took 4h but I have finally watched every singel one of your videos.

Make sure to take care of yourself. Hope you get well as soon as possible! Great devlog as allways.

[@GHOST-dg5tk]

Hope you get well soon, just take your time

[@holmsey8700]

Great work! Loving the introduction of lumber properties

[@lisyarus]

If you'll have time for it, you could make the building sprites have some ambient occlusion or something similar, - right now they look a little flat. E.g. I'd expect the interior of machines to be darker that the exterior, etc.

[@maxsteffey6521]

I hope you can have a quick recovery, stay safe! ♥

[@truepenut8755]

A quick idea: islands can have different temperatures and wind speeds (windmills?) so power can be more or less effective in different places.

[@warcatstudios4559]

honestly the info panel is so cool.

[@sped444]

Omg i so cant wait until it comes out

[@infinitenex8165]

I like these a little bit more in-depth explanations on your code patterns. I work in Godot, but its still helpful to see different approaches to certain problems.

[@Random_Commoner]

This is still so much fun to follow. Well done, dude ! And take care, good luck with your health

[@KamranWali]

The game looks really awesome. I am really digging the art style of the game. The improvements really shows in your work. All the best in your game development and Inshallah you will get well soon and one day I will play your game. :)

I watch most videos at 2x speed but I love these so much I wanna savor them and watch at 1.5 lol

[@oktophlo9455]

I thought you'd died! I'm so glad you're back! Get well soon man :)

[@LEGnewTube]

Would be a neat addition is to add a short turn off time and a longer startup time to machines. Adds a bit of realism and keeps players from mashing on/off (though this probably isn’t even an advantage currently).

[@blancfilms]

Get well soon!! :)

[@leololcat]

Get better soon! =)

[@GabeLily]

I hope you get well soon

[@someonewithsomename]

Great progress so far! And hope you are doing fine! One thing that I noticed: an icon for ID tool looks more like a search tool. Personally, I would expect it, to be either some form of FAQ help or a search tool for items to build by item name. Do you think maybe an eyedropper or something like this would be more suitable?

[@justingolden21]

UX: the three newly added toggle buttons should have a title that displays when hovered, rather than trying to decipher the icons or try them out and observe what changes. Love all the work going into this game : )

[@BWDev]

They’ve got tooltips now 👍

[@justingolden21]

@@BWDev Awesome! Thank you for listening to my advice. Looking forward to the next dev log : )

[@sneddonisaac]

Love the properties concept!!

[@sneddonisaac]

Also, all the best with whatever is going on in your personal life man!

[@triple_zeroes]

Keep up the good work my guy!

[@logan9699]

A suggestion/improvement: having a button to turn on tool tips seems... tedious? I know that’s a very small thing to call tedious but I feel like it’s something people will use a lot (but also not want on all the time, as you said). Because of this maybe have it turn on simply when holding down shift, or something similar to that (you could keep the buttons there too, just add hot keys) You could also use this same concept for the other buttons (lumber interface/island map), as these will probably be used quite often too. In summary: forcing the player to move the mouse to a certain location for these buttons that will be used quite often is tedious. Instead, there should be a hot key that could open those menus. Even better, keep the buttons there, have it show a tooltip showing the hot key for each one respectively when you hover over it, using your tooltip class, this way someone will always know what the hot key is to open each menu :)

[@mattwhyy]

I was just watching the last episode. Nice.

[@sinnvollerkommentar263]

You make it more obvious if a machine is turned on. Some players may will be confused while Searching

[@RAFI_]

You dont have to stress about YT or This game your health is way more important, i hope you get better quickly and with ease. just a thought* i wanted to ask if you ever think of adding liveable buildings into the game. like a 1x2 or 2x2 sized house that houses multiple people. a 2 storey house? a large tent 2x2 maybe. As there is an underground area maybe a bunker or basement?. what if you research the house, but not buy it with money but instead 5 stone(Foundation), 50 plank(Roof,walls,ceiling), 10 log(Supports).

[@matanharel7120]

Get well soon!!!

[@huntertheunit4260]

You should make the textures more contrast to be more visually stimulating & easy to see!

[@gishky7316]

I hope you get well soon! But concerning the game, are there Hotkeys for the three buttons on the top? Especially for the inspect button it would be very useful!

Hey listen, if ANYONE tells you to work on the game despite your sickness, don't you dare listen to them! Please take any time you need to get better is what I'm trying to say! ^^

[@drawcentral1048]

Who remembers when the island floated on a black void

[@el_chivo99]

it sort of sucks that you have to press the machine then move your mouse all the way down to the corner. perhaps have a pop up right by the machine after you click

[@fenx3371]

Cannot wait..

[@jaydie1059]

is the Control Panel Genterator a scriptable objekt? what programm you use there for Programming?

[@Rodopytel]

I love your game and I also love your videos. It is always a great fun and I get something new. My question and also a thing I would love is UI SCALE for this game. I have vision problems and a lot of games is just too small for me in these days. How hard and how long would it take for you to implement this setting for UI scale. Thank you very much for your answer! :)

[@BWDev]

There will definitely be a UI scale option 🙂

@@BWDev That is awesome to hear, thank you! 😊😊

[@enrico1982]

Can I suggest different colors for the switch on/off states, as someone from colorblindness, I can't tell the difference between the red and green.

[@BWDev]

Yeah seems this could definitely be an issue. I’ll look into either a different colour option or a graphical difference between on / off 👍

[@innovativename5268]

how big is the Unity Project, In GB ?

[@SebastianRakel]

hey, i love your project. but as a red/green blind person, this red/green switch is not the best solution, maybe some power icon in the circle in additional? But in first, get well soon :)

Amazing vid!! :)

What's your IDE?

[@spacevolvox4020]

Looks like jetbrains rider

[@BWDev]

It is indeed Rider 👍

[@asynts]

I think the magnifying glass doesn't work well for the ID tool, maybe an 'i' for information would work better? For me, that sounds more like searching for some object in the world instead of displaying information about it.

[@BWDev]

For me the magnifying glass in this context represents close inspection, but I see your point about it also meaning to search. I’ll consider changing it, but I think people will very quickly gather what the button does by toggling it either way

[@bluexky1116]

good job
