Putting all of the different pieces together so to speak. Here’s a look at the crafting process in its current state. Modular, custom, interchangeable parts that can be 3D printed into a full staff for collection.
The player collects wood, cut’s the ends off and loads it into the saw mill for bark removal. Once prepared, the wood can then be used on the lathe for shaping of the lower staff. The upper staff is prepared with ink drawings and is an introduction into the world of transforming drawings into manufactured parts. After the player cuts & mills flowers to create ink, the ink can be used to draw designs that transform into a tool path for the CNC machine. The parts are interchangeable and also saved to the local game directory so players can 3D print their designs. Several iterations of this process are demonstrated earlier in this thread.
This is the currently implemented system in the game, and next part of crafting dev will be the integration of the custom crystal. If time permits before the next build release, i also hope to include different ink types based on flowers collected representing different schools of magic and will amplify their respective spell casts.
