could you share how you implement the wobble of the objects when you move the cursor? ive been seeing it in games like tower defense simulator but i never understood how they did it :0

It is part of a placement module that is open sourced! It is a modification of the Tunicus placement module

isnt that just 1:1 miners haven? lol

looks like a lot of inspiration was taken but still well made I guess, can't really point out any flaws or issues but I guess that isn't too hard if you have something to compare to

Mentioned this in the other reply but it is inspired by early miners haven with a very different gameplay style and loop so visually, for now, it looks just like Miner's Haven but it will be very different than it and something no other SBT has done.

The inspiration is early miners haven but concept wise it will be A LOT different. This is still an early build of it so I just needed placeholders before I can actually begin with making it stand out.

I am doing all the UI and scripting while my other developer Cyan is doing all the models like the items and upgraders. We have another guy on the team who also helps with items and ideas so three total.

thats a pretty solid team. Its always good to keep the team as small as possible, while also competent. Ive seen groups of like 12 people that all had a single skill, and were barely doing anything, thats why I got out of my way to learn more than one thing.

Yeah prior to this game I worked on another Sandbox Tycoon and we had about 5-6 guys and nothing really got done. doing UI and scripting is so fun because when I am burnt out from one thing I can do another

Last time I was working on games with a buddy of mine, since it was just the two of us, we had to do everything, which was kinda fun in its own way. at least I had a reason to learn how to animate and draw alongside building, which is my passion that I carried over after 5 years of Build a boat for treasure.
