What's new at J Production. joshuavelasco.com
The whole place now wears one warm look. The bar's menus, its loading screen and the door you sign in at glow amber, just like the website. Our behind-the-scenes tools got the same warm makeover too.
No squares of light, matte coats and floor, bright walls keep their colour, less glare.
Every Studio step is built and live. New in this push: the bar picks up a publish by itself, a share link to try your draft with a friend, Undo publish, Note for Claude, What changed in History, links to the Dials, and Claude's proposals you can preview, apply or throw away. World v3 published (materials, moods, stool loops). Next: you try it on the phone and say 'broke S…' for anything off.
Everything in the bar is a thing with states and live loops. New: seats, jukebox, darts and mirror as states shared by the room; precise touches; floor shadows; candle smoke; reflections; idle life and smooth poses; sounds per thing; a test home you can travel to from the menu; the hub's World page with live speed/off per kind; machines name the game they open; old keys gone.
First piece of the new engine. Every object in the bar is now a 'thing' that plays its own loop, all the time, on one shared clock (everyone sees the same). Stools drift on their swivels, tables rock a hair, the lamps over the counter sway with their moths, candles and the fire flicker, and putting the fire out now sinks the flames to embers. While a song plays, the jukebox thumps on every beat and the 4K Mania cabinet and ceiling lights move with it. The back bar's shelf lights breathe and glass catches the light.
The engine has a name now: Looped. This update: • A new loading show: a neon BAR3D sign that waves and buzzes over the bar, a cocktail with bubbles, a bar that pours like beer. • Glow and mood: bulbs, neon and lit shelves bleed soft light; the bar is warmer. • The bar lives on its own: moths circle the lamps over the counter (and dart away if you get close), the fire flickers and throws sparks, the ARCADE light buzzes like old neon, the arcade's lights breathe, the jukebox glow thumps on the beat. • Credits got their own coin: a gold token that pops out and spins when you win at darts. • Guests and accounts both come in; the hub is private, and it's new: no more cards.
