Yes, it’s finally coming, Station Generator will have a build mode in the next update. No date as to when it’s going to launch but I am working on it. Here’s where I’m at so far with the update:
- Import a generated station for editing
- Change the size of the canvas
- Drag and drop rooms into the canvas
- Drag and drop corridors into the canvas
- Dropping a corridor onto a room will add the appropriate walls/doors configuration
- Added a satisfying (I think) click sound for when rooms and corridors are dropped
- Reintegrated the navigation, basic control and menu ribbons
- Added music and sfx
- Added the ability to save stations for editing later
There isn’t too much more I need to add before SG build mode is feature complete but I also want to add some more content to SG if I can to make the update even more meatier. I’ve a few things in mind, I just have to see what’s feasible in not too long a time frame. Once I’ve rolled some of the new features into the generation mode the last thing that needs to be done is to update the UI. At the moment it’s very programmer placeholder arty and that will need to change before release.
All in all it’s come a long way, but probably has a long way to go. Oh yes, the price will be going up to $10 (currently $8), to reflect the additional features but of course anyone who’s already purchased it will get the update for free. All the more reason to pick it up now 😉
