📝 Developer Notes

Vehicles receive a major overhaul with new two-handed steering, gear shifting, revised throttle inputs, improved handling, enhanced haptics, and better engine audio for an overall more intuitive driving experience.

The new Double Barrel Shotgun is now finished with fully interactive break-action barrel. This is accompanied by an additional way to reload ammo in all guns from the Vest.

Alongside these additions, this update includes extensive improvements to multiplayer networking and performance, and overall system cleanup.

On another note, in regard to the ongoing development of the game, I post daily development updates on Patreon where I share what I'm working on and the progress I'm making on Alien Dawn for anyone that wants to follow along.

I'd also really love to hear from you about how things go with this new update, especially if you get a group together to play online!

Alien Dawn | Unreal Engine 5 Update | Out Now

I thought this port from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5 was going to take 3 months, maybe 6 tops. It's been exactly a year since I started on this version I'm releasing today.

Why switch from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5?

There is of course the obvious, better graphics.

But the biggest reason I decided to make the move is because all future updates to the PCVR platform are going to be happening in Unreal 5, and the further I developed down the road of Unreal 4 the more I would have had to backtrack to eventually stay up to date with the latest PCVR features and hardware.

What to expect from this new version?

My original goal was to make a 1:1 port of the latest Unreal 4 version of Alien Dawn (v1.9) to Unreal 5 and then upgrade the game in subsequent updates from there. Because of many of my original design decisions much of the game needed to be revisited to even get working properly, which made upgrading multiple parts of the game a necessity. So, in addition to improved graphics there are a few subtle improvements to the gameplay, specifically in VR.

Aside from the port itself as described above, the secondary goal was to give first time players a better experience through more indicators of what each button and interaction does.

As another part of that choice, I made the opening first Escape Mode mission the same every time to ensure they get a solid experience on their first run. With the game's primary locations being procedurally generated, it was certainly possible that someone's first experience might not have been an optimal one for a new player.

What is next?

I want to keep this simple. My plan is to continue getting feedback from the community to prioritize certain features and make this original Escape Mode as mistake free and exciting as possible before moving onto what is next. Maybe that's 1 or 2 more updates before adding a new mode and major features, or maybe it's more.

Where are we meeting up?

I'm going to do my best to keep the official server online and streaming on my Discord while I'm at my computer.

How to support this project?

If you want to help and support this PCVR project, feel free to reach out to me personally on Discord.

On that note, there's been a lot of people both new and old to this project that have been a huge help already with their support in many ways, so thank you to everyone who has contributed so far.

Hi All!

bHaptics Support

The most unique aspect of UPDATE 19 is the addition of native bHaptics support. bHaptics is a haptics feedback system that really adds to a high end VR experience, with 40 individual motors in the vest that give the player detailed feedback as to what is happening to their character.

An obvious example is if you're getting shot in the back, only the back potion of the vest will vibrate, giving you better situational awareness of the battle.

What has been really cool for me was incorporating the 40 individual motors into the inventory system. Each inventory item slot on your vest and backpack react to an item being stored with exact motor location on the haptic vest, creating a really unique experience. It's almost like this vest was made to be used with this inventory system.

I plan on doing a video update describing this more in detail soon.

A big thanks goes out to Jen and the team at bHaptics for sending me the dev kit, and djstelo for recommending I contact them.

It's worth mentioning that aside from the free dev kit, I am not being paid to add support for or talk about this device.

Graphical Improvements

I've made some lighting and color changes to Map 1 to address some of the graphics quality issues.

Game Mode Modifiers

Finally there is the addition of Game Mode Modifiers that will allow you to alter various aspects of how Alien Dawn functions. Some of these will be slight game play tweaks to fit your personal preferences, and some will just be goofy fun.

The first of these 3 Modifiers are what I'm calling Arcade Mode. This gives a more action oriented experience for new players so the initial play though isn't as overwhelming, which is still one of the biggest areas of the game I'm trying to improve dramatically.

It's also just fun to run around guns blazing too :)

If you have any ideas for Modifiers let me know, I'm sure we can come up with some fun ones.

Hi All,

I remember all the way back to watching the first random person play our game and watching them try to interact with the slide on the pistol and it not doing anything. After that I saw many others do something similar. It's not that I couldn't figure out how to do it because we had weapon interactions on the Shotgun and Grenade Launcher, but there were just to many bigger issues that needed to be solved before I had the time to make each weapon have interacting parts.

New Weapon Interactions

With today's update all the weapons that should have interactive slides do, as well as attachable scopes which was another thing people have been asking for since the beginning.

The game is running and looking better than ever with this latest update (v1.18).

On a side note, I recently received a bHaptics vest and wrist developer kit from the bHaptics company and will be working on adding support for that soon. Thank you to djstelo and jen for making this happen!

As always thanks to everyone who has left an honest review and continues to support the game, I hope you're all doing great as can be.

Hello!

🏠 Home Screen 🏠

A focus of this update has been on revising the opening Home Level of the start of the game.

Instead of the Cabin it's now the Old Brick Mansion, and time was invested in adding higher quality models, along with more Physics and Player Interactions to this level.

There's still more to be done on the Start Scene Home Level, but it shows a step in the right direction to improving the graphics and game play interactions in the game.

🏆 Achievements 🏆

We've added Achievements to this version, with the plan for future versions to have the achievements unlock Modifiers for the various game modes. This new stat system also saves your progress to your Steam account, so your stats will now travel with you to different devices. Moving to this new stat system will reset any locally saved stats you currently have in the game.

*Working on adding Leadersboards to this soon*

🎥 A.I. Camera (Alpha) 🎥

Anyone that has been following ALIEN DAWN knows about the new type of Spectator Camera we've been developing to create movie like stories out of your game play. Previously this was only available on our official VoyagerVR server, but you can now experiment with it as a VR player on your own computer.

After watching many streamers, getting feedback on the forums and reading many reviews we decided to focus on 3 things in this update.

1. Performance

Performance is the first priority when it comes to VR. One of the most difficult things to do is an open world with hundreds of thousands of individual objects, in particular with multiplayer.

Version 15 of Alien Dawn pays specific interest to optimization and should solve many of the performance issues hindering the game, in particular frame drops that happen the longer you play, and in multiplayer.

2. Gameplay

An actual tutorial has been something we've thought was important since we released the game in Early Access in October of 2021, but there were other factors that needed to be addressed first.

In addition to teaching new players the idiosyncrasies of the Alien Dawn controls, it also demonstrates SOME of the graphic fidelity we will able to achieve as we optimize the game more because the tutorial is constrained inside of a smaller world.

3. Graphics

Graphics are improved in this version, but see #1 and #2. We also did a lot of general cleanup of the main menu and settings options to make things a bit easier to read and adjust.

-------------------------------------------------------------

There's a lot more we want to do for the next update, but Jes and I thought these improvements were important to release ASAP for player's familiar with and new to the game.

Welcome to the Steam Survival Fest!

We've got a new update in honor of the Survival Fest that includes new content, performance enhancements, new features and 1 new mode.

The new Survival Mode is the result of us implementing a save game feature for the player and all of their inventory and vehicles. The save game feature has been requested by many people, and is also helpful to us for development. The Survival Mode also allows us to implement features that have been programmed into the game, but didn't fit into the Escape Mode, like the flyable helicopters you can find at the Radio Towers.

Our primary focus will still be making the Escape Mode the best it can be, but all improvements to the game will benefit each mode because it gives us additional options to test under. As an example, before there was ever an Escape Mode, we programmed a sample PVP mode to get some of the gameplay and multiplayer code improved. The same will go for the Survival Mode and save system. It's something new for players to do and will help us develop the game as a whole.

Speaking of the PVP Mode, it's been in the game for sometime, but now it's actually selectable from the Main Menu again. I hope people give it a try.

And finally... "We have the mini wini! A part of the American tradition, and today on the cutting edge of design and function in a Class C MotorHome... Do you believe any of that $#^T?"
