Zero Hour’s next big update is bringing significant improvement in quality. With Update Part 4 we are focusing on 3 main aspects of gameplay; new audio, animations, visuals and polishing overall gameplay. This update will help players feel more lively and satisfied with their experience with Zero Hour.
- Animations
In the Animations sector, we will redo all the current animations. Every weapon and tools will have its own unique animations. Maintaining correct pacing & style for the animations along with its own authenticity to capture a more realistic and grounded look. Our aim is to bring quality and better animation transitions. Along with that, we will bring out new features which will be announced soon.
- Audio
In the audio sector, we are in the process of making a new ambient system where each map’s environment will sound like it’s where it’s meant to be. Not to mention, the gun sounds are being redone where we are trying to focus on two essentials; Realistic and Satisfying. The end result will turn out to be meaty, effective and rewarding whenever you pull the trigger. In regards to the utility SFX, we are working on the surrounding ambient object noise, such as a slow ceiling fan will create a low, creaking noise or a clock’s ticking in a silent room. Additionally, we will work and fix on the proper directionality of overall audio and audio occlusion.
- Visuals
With visuals, we are trying to improve and add more details in every map. We are going to make our own vegetation models which would reflect the cultural aspects and aid in the visual representation of Bangladesh. New shaders for guns and buildings (exterior and interior) will be added. This will help improve the lighting of objects and it’s overall visuals. There will be more updates on gun models which will be announced soon. We are also attempting new VFX changes which will include new barrel effects along with many more environmental particle effects to enhance the overall look of all Zero Hour’s visual aspects.
Update Part 4 is all for improving and establishing the overall quality of the game. It is planned to launch within 2 months. Given the fact that we release updates prior to the release date, we might release the update earlier. There are a few maps and audio updates which will arrive before update 4, so updates will be consistent.
We are excited to show more updates that we have planned for the future. We really appreciate and thank the community for the unconditional support and love for the game. With Part 4 we are focusing completely into improving the quality of the game and polishing out the issues.
