Hi everyone! We've got another update for you before the team goes on a three week summer break. We will be back and recharged on August 15th! The bi-weekly updates will start after we are back from summer vacation, so expect an update again latest on Friday, August 26th!
Riding arena
Here you can see concept art for a potential riding arena/competition hall. It is of course based around Vikings, so an upside-down Viking ship seemed fitting! Can you imagine bringing your horses here to compete?
More Viking ships
The Viking ship jump finally got its colors and is soon ready to be placed in the cross country fields.
Woolen rugs
The rugs are coming together more and more! Details such as buckles, leather and more colors have been made, and we are excited that so many appreciated the natural palette of colors.
New NPCs
New NPCs are also being worked on, and here is a sneak peek of one of them!
Canter lead changes
The lead changes are still being worked on. Here is an in-engine test of lead changes. The changes are only made when the stride is right, so timing is important for those tempi-changes!
Mane colors
Lastly, there are more updates to the horse hair. We have found a way to make multi-colored manes without the need multiple textures and meshes. This way it will be easier to match up the mane colors with the coat colors for markings such as tobiano and tovero.
Please note that everything shown in these devlogs is mostly just work in progress and is not finished. Changes may happen and the things showcased here will have further work put into them! To see work in progress daily, join our Discord server community here!
