Hello everyone ! It’s time for another monthly development update! In this newsletter we’re going to show the latest gameplay developments, designs, and technological tests we’ve been doing!
Voice Chat
This month we did the first implementation of proximity voice chat and we started working on an in-car voice chat. You’ll be able to choose between 5 radio channel to talk with other players in the same game as you, here is how it looks in-game right now :
UI exploration (photoshop mock-ups)
As of right now, all the User Interfaces in OUTBRK are simple placeholders. We started working on the artistic direction for our game menus and collaborated with a UI artist to create some mockups. Keep in mind that these are only visual exploration, do not represent the final product and might represent features that might not be in the game at Early Access.
Playable Character
We’re starting to plan what is needed to have a more diverse cast of playable characters and support better animations and better clothes customisation. We’re still very early in the process but starting this important process is an important milestone in the project. Here is a short gif of some facial animation tests that were done in the Outbrk game editor:
Testing Team
We recently increased our testing team by about 10 new testers. This will help us investigate some issues that are harder to track and improve the stability of our game and matchmaking servers. We know a lot of people showed interest to help us test the game, but we are not looking for additional testers at the moment.
That's all for this development update ! Please keep Wishlisting the game on Steam, as it helps us break through the visibility algorithm and reach potential new chasers! If you haven't already, Wishlist OUTBRK here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1107320/OUTBRK/
Thank you for joining us on this exciting journey, and we can't wait to see you out on the stormy roads soon!
Till next time, chasers.
