Yes, I know this looks and sounds dumb, but hear me out...
While working on the new Scene for Solitude, I was faced with a creative problem: how to spice it up? As you will remember, all current Solitude scenes have a small prelude before the actual show. But I didn't just want to recycle that animation yet again, So I had to think of something else.
The new Multi-Gallow already had a few of these Bar stools as integrated parts, and so I decided on utilizing them.
And about 5 minutes later, It dawned on me that something like this could actually be really interesting in general, so I decided to pause work on the Solitude scene and turn this unassuming piece of furniture into a new addition to Pama's Deadly Furnitures (Even though its not actually deadly (yet))
This was by the way the "surprise addition" I've teased on the Discord on Sunday.
The Original version for this thing was extremely basic, hence the optimistic initial time estimation, but I got a bit sidetracked. Looking at the discord yet again, I noticed there are actually quite a few devices which would work in a 3-Actor setup, therefore I decided to script the Barstool as a sort of template for such devices which will absolutely be a thing in the future.
That means its current script is far more complicated then it needs to be, but its functional (and finished). Animation wise, I' gonna recycle the ones from the Oven and adjust them a bit to better fit. which means required time should be minimal and I expect a beta-release within the week.
Work on Solitude will resume right after and simply use this new thing as a Dependency.
Sorry for the Sidetrack, but I think in this situation its excusable, especially since I cant imagine something as plain as this ever winning in a poll anyway.
See you soon for the Update!
