We are currently rewriting the sitting mechanics for taskbar and window sitting. This update will allow avatars to sit on windows and the taskbar in a more natural and visually appealing way. It uses special layering methods so that legs appear in front of a window while hair and other parts render behind it, creating a more realistic look.
Developing this feature is challenging, as MateEngine is designed to stay lightweight and highly performant. While we cannot guarantee its final inclusion, we want to share what might be possible in the future. Our goal is to make it work for all custom models created by the community.
The hardest part is ensuring compatibility with custom VRM and ME avatars, since their size and bone structures vary. We are actively researching solutions to address this remaining issue. In the meantime, we will continue delivering quality updates for MateEngine and hope to bring this feature to life soon.
Another example: (Please ignore the grey box it is there for debugging)
Right after launch, we ran into serious server-side issues. Our testing environment didn't trigger these issues, which proved disastrous in actual production use. As a result, the game was virtually unplayable during much of the launch week, and players lost progress and had to restart their Hedge Funds.
Does this mean we are total failures in life? Despicable human beings? Unworthy of calling ourselves developers?
The answer to these questions is yes.
But fear not! After a major overhaul, we’ve made sure this kind of disaster won’t happen again. We’ve added new safeguards so major progress won’t be lost even if server issues occur. We are rolling out significant gameplay improvements over the next couple of weeks. And we are committed to making this the grand, long-term virtual investing saga it deserves to be.
Sorry for the rough start. Let the investing journey begin!
