Moved asteroid height calculation to vertex shader
Manual culling for asteroid field render update
Converted remaining .blend files to .fbx
Type check safe cast operator broken in DictionaryInspector? Wrote around it
UI Materials not blending properly - fixed by switching to Fade transparency mode
Applied nebula lit shader to "planets" and asteroids
Modified gas giant shader to accept nebula lighting and to be a bit less crappy in general
Fixed raymarching depth sampling perspective distortion
Added new clouds shader with improved raymarching loop
Currently only being used in main menu (rest is coming right up!)
Removed WWise (it's nice, but all it's doing is throwing exceptions rn since we ain't about to get a license)
Added more aesthetic trails to "slime" effect
Created prefabs for planet and asteroid stations
Added model for adrasteia ship
Integrated audio changes from Defirm
Replaced Unity TAA with PlayDead TAA
Custom keyboard layout test scene
Adjusted Aetheric Drive VFX to be more subtle
Reworked stardust VFX to reduce flickering artifacts
Added Action Bar & weapon groups saving/loading
Implemented security levels and faction safe zone visualization
Improved station placement (now include defensive turrets)
Refactor item instance to use DatabaseLink
Labels now pop up when aiming at loot
Yeeted HUD trigger group UI into the abyss
Created rebindable action bar (missing: assigning actions)
Created Consumable Items
Refactored behaviors to work on consumable items
Implemented Velocity Conversion Behavior
Marking player location on galaxy map
Fixed non-input field focus disabling global key map
Player start ship is now always the same
Loadout generator now demands exact match for item dimensions
Thermal damage now triggers ItemDamaged event = player can die from cockpit wear!
Properties panel now has a much more attractive UI
Implemented curve control for properties UI
Centralized number formatting in player settings
Moved significant digits to player settings
Added temperature unit option in player settings
Copied Main Menu to gameplay scene
Added Pause functionality (ESC key)
Save & Restore discovered zones
Applied vertical offset to asteroids (no more intersections!)
Nebula shader optimized to improve early exit
Nebula shader outputs light scattering to second render target
Modified depth of field shader to use nebula light scattering
Added sector map in Galaxy tab of in-game menu
Added player flag to Ship (replaces AGM.PlayerEntities)
Refactored sector map to depend on AGM
Moved sector generation to main menu
Main menu now supports resuming previous playthrough
Database and player settings now statically available via AGM
AGM saves current game state in PlayerSettings on exit
Sector generation is now asynchronous
Added progress callbacks to sector gen + progress dialog in menu
Confirmation Dialog / properties panel can now display dynamic text entry
Added zone title to Zone map
Eliminated ZoneData class (properties moved to ZonePack)
Sector, Zone and Entity serialization now fully functional
Entity settings now separate from player settings
Cleaned up old unused networking message classes
Name files now integrated with database cache
Added ability to save/load additive DB cache files in database panel
Cleaned up Wwise sound setup - removed redundant items & fixed spelling errors
Deleted Wwise cache + added to .gitignore
Added Main Menu scene
Tweaked world map to incorporate secondary colors in zone icons + glowing links
Entity Serialization is now generic
Zone Serialization now includes entities
Fixed bug where wormhole traversal would unbind from player entity
Game Manager no longer spawns entities (loadout file format changed)
Wrote extension to randomly select weighted items from collections (for generating enemies)
Generating links between zones within the sector using elimination algorithm with connectedness testing
Improved sample elimination API - now accepts simple density function!
Ported MIConvexHull library to single precision, Unity.Mathematics math
Removed old galaxy generator (new code is much better!)
Modified weapon scripts to eliminate specialized projectile behavior - allows charged weapons to have projectiles and modify weapon stats when charged
Added machine gun weapon & VFX
Moved third party code to Plugins folder to improve compile times
New asteroid models
Asteroid belts have a custom width curve = tighter belts
Zone Generator uses color theory now
Zone gravity well is much deeper, filled with ambient glow
Gravity waves flow over time
Fog follows gravity waves
Gas Giant shader fixed, offsets distort albedo properly
Fog sample distances follow exponential curve
Fog noise offsets sampling position instead of subtracting density = more natural looking noise
Fog brightness fades out at max view distance
Added the ability to generate zones locally in order to facilitate rapidly iterating generation parameters. Then of course I tweaked the shit out of the zone generation!
Polished UI for the title screen
Added login, registration and session management to CultClient
Connected title screen to CultClient login and registration
This is just a very basic implementation of the algorithm, just to test and for me to understand it better, next commit I'm gonna implement the last version of it with variable density
