The 51st week #devlog is up for Cosmic Construct. Rather I should less say it is about Cosmic Construct than it is about my side projects.

I am still very sick and don't want to do game art I won't be happy with.

I know you are all here for new about Cosmic Construct, but I've been doing other things. As the muse strikes, trying to combat burnout.
In the mean time I do work on other game develop projects, such as this one. Which is quickly nearing completion.

Currently working on the Library, which is a complex drawing, so it's not presentable right now. Instead I'll show off a side project that I'm working on as I'm doing rapid prototyping.
All in an effort to improve my gamedev chops.

Just finished up the Centrifuge, devlog will come shortly.
Doesn't look like much, but I did have to draw it 4 times. It's more complicated of an animation than it looks. Perhaps I'll add Uranium to the list of game items.

I moved on to doing the Centrifuges today, but wanted to show what I have the Terraformer looking like, as I've gone back to working on that.
There will be a sled that runs across it and injects the ground with the Terraformation Juice™.

Thank you, to @rtfxstudio.bsky.social and cpgd.info who ran an amazing annual event. Cosmic Construct received one of the 3 spotlight awards during the jam.
I was also jamming to create Spinset.

A rather unfinished puzzle game. XD

Here I am just staring at the google image results for "terraformation tower", trying to figure out where to even start. I know what kind of animation I want to make, but not what I want the building to look like yet.
I'll be working on it overnight.

I'm working on the Auditor building right now, but I have nothing I want to show. This is how I keep track of which structures are complete. 27 remain with 5 to import.
I'll be doing least the Terraformer, Centrifuge, and Auditor this week.

After a bit of tinkering, I've come up with at at least a temporary solution to the building obstruction issue. A button to toggle transparency of cells directly below the player.
I think I'll select by size, as chests and the like aren't obstructive.

Got most of the new imports done. Some of the more complex buildings like the Bazaar will require additional work due to being procedurally generated.
Still need to improve player visibility behind objects.

Starting to get the buildings imported and placeable. I am aware the the player can't be seen behind the building. (and that other buildings can't be seen behind buildings.) I have a solution for this already.
Here Casino parts are rearranged.

Sorry, no update on Cosmic Construct just yet, but I do have an update for work on the dungeon tile set. A massive number of tiles are being recreated in digital art based on work from various creators, and will be made freely available on itch.io soon.

Outside of Cosmic Construct's development, I've been working on remaking many of the dungeon map tiles from Dave's Mapper as a uniform set.

Working on the Guild Hall right now. I after I get a bit of that done, I'll post a devlog sometime overnight. (I really need to get on that.)
The Guild Hall will apply half the player's skill level to pawns, increasing the speed they work.

Now working on the Treasury building. Most of these are of the marble and column style the government structures use. I try to keep all of the management buildings looking a similar way so the player can have distinct city districts.

Let me show you what else I've been working on for fun. I just make this CRT shader for a side project. It's got a lot more development than you might imagine.
(I need multiple concurrent projects to maintain my sanity.)

The statue was a good choice. Though I drew a door behind it which you can see.

Had my bi-weekly DnD game yesterday. Currently working on the Courthouse, which will be a pawn administration / "behavior correction" building.
This one will be rather detailed I think. I will also be drawing a statue of justice in the front.

Working on the Bazaar. Like the Market it has a procedural generation component. Its a basically a direct upgrade to the Market which produces a higher passive income.
