Thanks guys

@antON new modules - core modules will be made in C++ by us and these will be low level stuff plus some special modules such as the sliding door. Other modules everyone can create by combining core modules with IO modules to make user game mechanics. These will look and work as the module you see in the vid. This section is not fully working yet but once I have it fixed I will post another video showing the user modules in action.

Yet another reason to use Skyline over other less able and/or more expensive engines

This will make life so much easier for the non-programmers, and it will give us old-school coders something that will take away the drudgery of writing tons of code to make something simple happen!!

As always, huge respect to the Devs.

We hope this will make Skyline more fun to develop mechanics in, rather than the worry of cross language/format syntax errors and as you say, tons of code to do something that should be simple.

Thanks for the respect

Update : I have managed to get a file to load back without the presence of the graph editor. Although this still requires QT to still reside in the engine which will be a problem when we go mobile. But doing it this way will let us to be able to release the graph system for PC production and overcome the removal of QT when the time comes. There is still months of work to get the graph system polished but it is becoming usable if you don't mind the odd wort and organisational gremlin, but isn't this the case with a lot of Skyline!

We are looking at a release asap with the new Nav update and many other fixes and we will try to get a functional graph version ready for the following update, so fingers crossed

Hi Friends, just a quick post to let you know that I have overcome a big hurdle with the module system which was preventing them being used outside of the editor. Not good for an end game

But you will be happy to know I have found a solution and started converting the initial prototype to a production version. This will free up a little time to cover some user related requests [ Tatty ] and start getting a version ready for either the next or following update.

Again I will keep you all informed of development.

Sounds good glad you are powering through

[lordalmighty1]

yeah awesome news wot..

[StarFire]

To be honest guys some the test I have played with have made mechanic development become fun! and when your bored or not sure what to do next you can just mess around with the modules in a kind of therapeutic way lol
This system could turn out to be very intuitive and expansive.

I really really really can not wait for this to come out...
Its a major update in my book and I am putting a game or demo creation on hold till this hits my computer..

Keep up the good work..
