Godot gave me a wonderful frame rate. Then I noticed what it had forgotten to draw.

Another detour
Unreal migration review
Unreal again. Don't judge me.
I've taken the island back to Unreal. The terrain and places made it across; the game still needs rebuilding around them.

The rock face
Actual Blender work session
The cliff refuses to fit.
I tried to make a rock sit naturally against a hill. The rock had other ideas.

The wet bit
Unity water pass
The island gets its rivers back.
The reservoir and five river branches have proper editable surfaces. The banks are still arguing.

The scenic route
Unity environment prototype
A farm, a sawmill and a very bad road.
The log crossing moves. The observatory has a road. Bonita has yet to test either idea.

The crossing
Unity island transfer
The island makes it across.
The harbour, towns and hand-built spots made the crossing. The game systems did not come along for free.

The test yard
Actual Unity Play Mode driving test
Bonita drives. Then changes wheels.
Bonita can change wheels while driving now. Getting her to keep her speed was less straightforward.

Yes, Unity. Again.
Yes, I've changed engines again. Bonita made the trip first; here's what actually works.

The farm road
Design concept, not gameplay
Two deliveries, too many monkeys.
One delivery has monkeys. The other involves landing Bonita on moving logs. Neither route is built yet.

The hotel and pool are back on the island. The sea is still on my list.

The return trip
Actual Godot prototype footage
The squish gets sticky.
The squish looked fine until its splat floated above the moving belt. Obviously I couldn't leave that alone.

The uphill paperwork

I gave the town hall some neighbours and a staircase that actually goes somewhere.

The scenic overlook
Geology, now available in multipacksOne lookout, quite a lot of cliff.
I went to build a nice view of the sea and ended up making eight cliffs.

The identity crisis
One personality. Six parking problems.Working out who Bonita is.
Bonita needed to look like herself in every vehicle form. Her headlamps finally gave me an answer.

The machinery bay
Actual Godot prototype footage
Rusty discovers workplace safety.
The conveyor works. The press works. Rusty would prefer that I stopped testing them together.

The post office
Handle with questionable careFinding the look for Rusty and Bonita.
The first logo looked like a respectable courier firm. Rusty and Bonita soon put a stop to that.

A harbour, a few towns and a lot of road: I started working out where a delivery might take us.

The testing ground
37 seconds from the test courseGetting Rusty moving.
Rusty can run, climb and swing across the test course. Making it feel good is the next problem.
