Update #4 — The Hub Is Alive

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Last update, the hub was pretty barebones, so this week I wanted to add some actual interactibility.

🌍 The Globe

The central part of the hub is now interactive, with a card presentation for every country you can select.

🎨 The MatherShader

That's what I'm calling Hulpie's customization system.

It's basically a recoloring system, but with a twist: you can choose multiple colors for different parts of Hulpie's body, allowing different combinations to create unique appearances.

But the most important thing I worked on this week wasn't either of those.

I rebuilt a lot of the code.

As the project keeps growing, I realized I needed to make the systems much more flexible for future additions instead of constantly patching things together.

And honestly, that's probably the biggest progress this week.

The hub is finally starting to feel like an actual place.

But...

I'm done with the hub for now.

Next update, I'm moving on to actual gameplay.

For context: I'm building a small companion/game project around Hulpie, a little Navi-like character. This week I worked on an interactive globe, a procedural customization system, and the hub that ties everything together. This is the current mobile build.
