I've been working on the room systems the last few days.

It was fiddly to get working, transitioning between the procedurally generated world and the rooms (mainly disabling chunk rendering).

Edge cases like what to do if you close the game when inside a room etc.

Sometimes, in game dev, things just aren't flashy.

Sometimes it's just being able to reorganise your bag slots.

I need to fix raycasting not passing through buttons too 🙃

day 10 of Mu 🌿

i've sank a bunch of time into overcomplicating navigation.

it's caused quite a bit of stress, so i've been reimplementing just using NavMesh, which just generates at runtime as the terrain is generated.

i've also upgraded fully to Unity 6, as i was quite behind.

hard at work today to make some snappy progress.
