Welcome to another Elysian Log, where we look at what was implemented this month and what you can expect from the next month of development.

Let's get started!

Milestone: Final Set of Cell Parts

A total of 7 new body parts for cells were added this month. Many of them resemble parts that exist in Spore, like the Jaw and Intoxicator, seen in the picture. Some parts on the other hand are completely new concepts, like the "Hive" allowing  you to spawn antibodies that rush into your enemies!

This was the last set of cell parts for now, leaving you with 35 different parts that can be used in the cell editor demo! This doesn't mean that there won't be more cell parts in the future. Elysian Eclipse will be updated regularily, creating a constant stream of content, including new parts for your creations, but for the initial release of cell stage, that's more than enough.

Milestone: Cell Stage Environment

A lot of environment objects have been added to the cell stage, including 4 different colored Nutrients that grant stats to your cell, big Whirlpools that allow you to travel between biomes, and Microfossils that will be used to unlock new parts. The Microfossils don't work yet and biome travel is still missing an interface, but we are making steady progress on expanding the cell stage.

Milestone: Creature Movement Prototype

The creature movement prototype is a big step towards creature stage! It is based on a template, inspired by classic platformer games like Super Mario 64, to give your creatures a flexible moveset, inlcuding jumping, climbing, swimming and throwing objects. It is included in the latest Patreon demo and takes place in the "Blorb Zone", a small map specifically made to test movemnt.

In the following months we will further expand upon this demo, allowing you to load your own creatures into the map and eventually replacing it with the "Island Explorer", a bigger sandbox that contains a procedurally generated piece of land, randomized every time you play, like it would appear in the final version of the creature stage.

What's coming next for Elysian Eclipse

For the next month of development we want to focus on the following:

• Making your Creations 3D-printable
  • With the next update of the Elysian Archive, you will be able to export all your creations as a model file, which can be imported into Blender, where you can convert into a .stl for 3D-printing or other shenanigans. It will also become possible to delete creations directly from the archive, without having to open the file explorer.
• Editor Improvements
  • The editors will see several small improvements over the next weeks. We're aiming to add a display for stats and handles that allow you to rotate parts of your creation more easily.
• Creating a Building Grid Prototype for medieval stage
  • The Building Grid will let you place premade buildings and spawn units on a flat map. This will be one of the main mechanics for medieval and industrial stage, but will also appear earlier in the game, for example when building your nest.

You can now also find a roadmap with all upcoming major features on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ElysianEclipse/comments/w334ui/roadmap_for_upcoming_upd...
