NEWS UPDATE
I have received a cease and desist order regarding the name Malus, apparently its owned by some night club in US
So I will be rebranding the game, changing the name entirely, that that would include all the art and trailers and stuff. Still deciding what to call it, any suggestions are welcomed, for now I'm calling it Project Noveria (Noveria is the name of the world in Malus)
So I have taken this opportunity to upscale the next update
Next patch will be entirely new build and will seem like a whole different game
One of the main concerns was that performance is quite bad on previous build
This will be addressed in the next build as previously, I used bought assets and most of them are unoptimized causing performance inconsistencies
This past year I have spent all my free time modeling, texturing rigging and animating my own assets which is why its taking so long, I will still using some bought assets as it makes things faster but keeping in mind optimizations
I am sorry for the long wait, life has not been easy, who could have foreseen this madness world we live in now in 2021. I'm trying to earn some money selling my own UE assets
I'm hoping one day I earn enough to not work full time anymore so I can focus on Malus
(also working full time was not part of the plan, I was forced to because I used to do freelance motions graphics for films in 2020 but the lockdowns royaly fked the media industry)
I will not give a date for when the update will be released as I do not want to make false promises
Here is a video of the new build showing some of the visual and AI changes please note everything you see is still WIP
