Friday! Weekend! And weekly news!
Be sure to check the full weekly report following the link there will be a screenshot of the new weapon/tool.
Compass and UI
Today we want to share a little information about how the navigation from the player's perspective will work. First of all, the map already has a lot of details and yet more to come to make every location unique, so remembering the location will be a much easier task.
Compass will be a tool that can be picked up, it will unlock the usage of the UI compass, so you will now see the compass UI, so it gives you a hint about how most of the UI will be working currently. To unlock specific UI you will need a tool for that. So if you want to look at the map you will need to have one or draw it yourself.
The compass was the first step in this line of work and we are planning to do more, our main goal is to make as many tools as we can, and make them as useful as it could. So next time when you see a pack of play cards doesn't scrap it or throw it away, maybe play some card games with your friends.
Map rework
As you may know, we were migrating from UE4 to UE5 and one of the UE5 benefits is Lumen, which allows you to get a pretty awesome view in terms of light and environment, once we saw how our game could look with UE5 we decided to rework the map. Unfortunately, it is a complex task, because the UE5 also provides a system called world partition, and to make it work we need to revisit every level and make changes.
So right now our goal is to finish the migration of the world map and once it is done we can start to work with the levels.
Don't forget to have fun on the weekend and cya guys next week! :)
