Context

Today pushed the Home system across a major milestone: completing the Starter Home Kit loop from placement to interior access.

Starter Home Flow

Players can now:

  • Choose where the Starter Home Kit is placed
  • Wait three in‑game days for construction
  • Enter the home once it’s built

Interior Transitions

I added a new transition component that fades the screen to black during teleportation between exterior and interior spaces. This dramatically improves UX.

Refactoring & Camera Work

I refactored multi‑tile logic again and added an orbital camera for interior spaces to differentiate the experience from the exterior world.

Summary

What I accomplished:

  • Completed the Starter Home Kit build flow
  • Added fade‑to‑black transitions
  • Refactored multi‑tile placement logic
  • Added an orbital interior camera

What I learned:

  • Homes are a forcing function for clean architecture
  • Small UX transitions greatly improve polish
