The layout of the research vessel is almost complete, there are just a few more rooms that need to be done and it should be completed. Apart from the layout of research vessel I have also been working on the technical side. I now have a movable character and also a camera that can follow the player. I have also created a basic layout of how the game will be played. I have put the progress of the research vessel below and also screenshots of the progress of the technical side of the game.
Below is a layout of the research vessel this is a type of guide to show were the player should go. The player can always deviate from this path, the game will enable the player to walk around freely. In brackets next to certain scenes, they will say either mini game or cut scene.
