Witanlore: Dreamtime - Development Suspended
Hail Witanfam, Cole here for another progress report, probably the last for a little while. There's no easy way to do this, I've agonized over this for months, rewritten it a thousand times, so I'll just jump in short and sweet. Development on Witanlore: Dreamtime is currently SU

With each update, the notes in this section will offer some need to know notes for the latest build.

Save Games May be Broken- Some folks will be able to play older saves without issue, others will have to restart sadly. It depends on where your avatar was located in the world when you saved as we culled part of the game map in this build.
Idle Enemy Bug- We are actively tracking a bug that has delayed this launch long enough. Enemies sometimes stand idle. Just defeat them to progress. We will patch this as soon as we get it pinned down for good! (This should be fixed in v17.1)
Map Non Functional- This build introduces a new world map UI but the math and art are off sync, so it doesn't quite function. It's a decent reference at times just not super helpful. This will be fully functional in Build 18. The compass feature does work to help guide you.
Main Quest Incomplete- You will not be able to continue the main quest beyond the Dreamworld, once you conclude that chapter you can continue side quest adventuring but the main quest will not continue.
Control/Setting Oddities- We're still in the process of remapping some of the controls so the schematics in the main menu have a couple keys that are out of date, we'll be updating them with each build. Some settings may also be displaying incorrectly but will be resolved. Gamepad controls are still limited, but are in the pipeline for Build 18.
Combat & AI WIP- We are making significant changes to combat and AI so both may be glitchy at times but will improve with each update!
The current build for Early Access is EAC 0.0.17.1

Main Quest Progression - The Dreamwolrd is Unlocked bringing new challenges and new enemies!
New side quests!
New Activities!
Major UI Overhaul (Still In Progress)
Functional Totem Compass to Guide You
Overall region size reduced to eliminate dead space.
Archery has been greatly improved!
More deer and rabbits to hunt!
More & Deadlier Longclaw monsters!
New and improved dialogue and cinematic sequences.
New and improved animations.
Level Streaming, NavMesh, LOD, and Collision optimizations and fixes.
Whole host of bug fixes and improvements.
Updated to Unreal Engine 4.18, bringing along more optimization and additional features.

[Progress Report] Build 17, Summer Sale, Project Dead?
Hail Witanlore Fans, Cole here checking in with a loooooong overdue update on the project. Development is quite slow but sure at this stage, the team is much smaller now (only about six of us at the moment) and our time is split between Dreamtime and other jobs we've had to take

With each update, the notes in this section will offer some need to know notes for the current build.

Optimization in WIP- We have improved frame rates in this build, however, you should not expect finished optimization yet. Proper optimizing tools are new to the latest engine builds and we're still working to reverse optimize the game. Performance will continue to improve with every build.
Main Quest Incomplete-You will not be able to reach the Dreamworld yet, the MQ will end after the Dreaming Ritual chapter. This is due to finishing AI in the Dreamworld so progression will be available soon.
Control/Setting Oddities- We're still in the process of remapping some of the controls so the schematics in the main menu have a couple keys that are out of date, we'll be updating them with each build. Some settings may also be displaying incorrectly but will be resolved.
Combat & AI WIP- We are making significant changes to combat and AI so both may be glitchy, we are working to make improvements that will make combat more interesting and AI more organic!
The current build for Early Access is EAC 0.0.16.2

New side quests.
The Main Quest has been tweaked, so you no longer have to run to the ruins in the east for the oil.
Major UI Overhaul (In Progress)
Strange runes have appeared, allowing you instant transportation to certain locations. But first you have to find the runes!
The environment of Duan Rhod is now much more atmospheric (enabled Atmospheric fog).
Archery has been greatly improved.
More deer and (new) boars to hunt.
An evil creature has made its nest in the dark caverns of Wanderer's Demise.
The forests of the valley have been overhauled.
A new (WIP) settlement has been built in the eastern hills.
Clothing improvements.
Some armor will now grant health/stamina boost.
New and improved dialogue and cinematic sequences.
New and improved animations.
More NPC bios for your journal.
Your character will now sheathe their weapon when dialogue is started with an NPC.
The floating clovers are no more.
Health potions now grant a bit more health.
Level Streaming, NavMesh, LOD, and Collision optimizations and fixes.
Various minor fixes and improvements.
Updated to Unreal Engine 4.17, bringing along more optimization and additional features.
Here is a list of some of the changes coming ahead in Build 17

Main Quest Progression - Dreamworld
More Menu/UI System Updates
Map Updates
New Totem Functions
Expanded Skill System
Expanded XP System
WIP Crafting System
Achievements, Badges, Cards
More Creatures
More Sky/Lighting Improvements
Price Change Notice!
Please note this is the last build we'll be releasing at the $6.99 price point. Build 17 will essentially double the content that's currently available so we'll be raising the price at that stage. In response to fan (and potential buyer) feedback that we are underselling the game, Dreamtime will be going up to $14.99 at the next release.
Be sure to get your copy while the price deal is prime and you'll get all future updates free! ːsteamhappyː

With each update, the notes in this section will offer some need to know notes for the current build.

Optimization in WIP- We have improved frame rates in this build, however, you should not expect finished optimization yet. Proper optimizing tools are new to the latest engine builds and we're still working to reverse optimize the game. Performance will continue to improve with every build.
Main Quest Incomplete-You will not be able to reach the Dreamworld yet, the MQ will end after the Dreaming Ritual chapter. This is due to finishing AI in the Dreamworld so progression will be available soon.
Existing Saves May Break- We're working really hard to make sure save data doesn't break between updates, but in this first update to Build 16, saves may break and may require players to start a New Game as we've updated the engine twice since the last build.
Control/Setting Oddities- We're still in the process of remapping some of the controls so the schematics in the main menu have a couple keys that are out of date, we'll be updating them with each build. Some settings may also be displaying incorrectly but will be resolved.
Clothing Oddities- Epic has added new cloth physics to UE4 which may result in some odd movement on clothing/cloth assets, this is temporary
The current build for Early Access is EAC 0.0.16

New side quests, where you can learn more about the lore of Duan Rhod.
Overhauled User Interface.
Sky / Lighting improvements.
Post Processing improvements.
New creatures now roam the land.
Your journal now records your actions during quests.
Opened new “Characters” tab in the journal. This tab records the bio of every character you have met.
The forest has now crept back into the village.
The villagers have decided to spruce up the village with more stuff, making it look much more alive, even at night, with lanterns and torches lighting it up.
You will now be greeted by a Discovery prompt when you find notable locations in the world.
Explore an entirely new (WIP) dungeon down by the coast. But watch your footing!
Digging spots have been scattered around the world. Don't forget to bring a shovel!
Landscape improvements and additions to the entire playable area.
New locations for you to explore, and old ones have been improved.
The grass is always greener on the other side they say. Well, now you're on the other side!
Added more dialogue and cinematic sequences, and the current sequences looks and plays better.
New and improved animations.
Automatic detection of keyboard/gamepad.
Fixed the pop-in/out of objects on the path to the seer's tower.
The unbelievably huge lodgepole outside the abandoned shrine is now no more.
Tired of carrying a table on your back? Good news! The training shield has been reduced to a sensible size.
Lighting has been improved in caves and dungeons.
The Main Menu and CharGen scene is now brighter.
Rivers will no longer be invisible while you're underwater.
The current state of your gameworld will now be properly saved, even for future updates.
Material and texture fixes and improvements.
Level Streaming optimizations. There will be less hitching when the game loads in new content.
NavMesh optimizations. How and where NPCs and creatures walk is now more precise, as well as being less taxing on your CPU.
LOD optimizations. The LOD of a massive amount of objects have been optimized, both for better performance and greater looks.
Collision optimizations. Less floating, less sinking into objects, and more performance friendly collision.
Key Rebinding
Invert Y Axis setting
Updated to Unreal Engine 4.16, bringing along great optimization and additional tools for us to use and you to enjoy.
Loads of bug fixes.

Hi Folks,
Cole here! Hope you are all enjoying the start of the summer season, apologies for the long weird silence here, we've been working hard on the back to back updates we mentioned back in April but we've also been juggling some challenges in real life that unfortunately took some time away from the game's progress for a bit. We're getting back on track now so the next update should be rolling soon; we just need to run it passed our testers first.
Hopefully when we launch our IndieGoGo campaign shortly we'll gain more exposure for the game, and more funding to keep our developers from losing their homes. It's too late for me sadly, as of June 1, my family and I are without a place to call home as many of you may know (the story seems to be making rounds in the Elder Scrolls modding community), but I'm not going to let that impact my work with Druid. We are struggling, but determined, so we don't want our players to start planning Dreamtime's funeral any time soon; we are devoted to bringing our vision to life, no matter what challenges we face.
We hope you'll stick with us!
Excluding some of the really boring technical notes only we understand, this is a complete changelog for the next update, which will be Build 16. We ended up having to update the engine again to fix a couple engine level oddities but as usual it broke the game in a few places. We've stabilized it but want to run a couple tests before updating the depot here on EA, just to make sure we don't serve up some ugly engine bug! Here's a list of what you can look forward to!

With each update, the notes in this section will offer some need to know notes for the current build.

Optimization in WIP- We have improved frame rates in this build, however, you should not expect finished optimization yet. Proper optimizing tools are new to the latest engine build and we're still working to reverse optimize the game. Performance will continue to improve with every build.
Main Quest Incomplete-You will not be able to reach the Dreamworld yet, the MQ will end after the Dreaming Ritual chapter. This is due to finishing AI in the Dreamworld so progression will be available soon.
Existing Saves Will Break- We're working really hard to make sure save data doesn't break between updates, but in this first update to Build 15, saves are expected to break and will require players to start a New Game.
Control/Setting Oddities- We're in the process of remapping some of the controls so the schematics in the main menu have a couple keys that are out of date, we'll get them update by the next build. Some settings may also be displaying incorrectly but should be resolved by the next build.
Clothing Clipping- Due to an engine bug causing crashes we had to temporarily disable APEX cloth which may result in some clipping of clothing/cloth assets, this is temporary
Hitching/Lag- There is a hitching/lagging issue being caused by the engine's level streaming tech, this should resolve when Epic updates the engine to 4.15
Shadow Oddities- On higher shadow levels there may be some visual oddities, these will resolve with lighting tweaks in the next build
The current build for Early Access is EAC 0.0.15
