Greetings MyDream Journal Readers!
The past week was full of progress, including more work on controls, animations, and voxel optimization.
Controls and camera features have been getting better and better. We’ve been trying out first and third person with the new character controller, and looking into additional camera and world interaction functionality. One feature we’ve been testing is having the camera angle raising and lowering while flying, in order to improve steering.
Character animations have been coming in at a steady pace. We have surface swimming, diving, horizontal + vertical ladder climbing, and horizontal + vertical rope/chain/ivy/pole climbing animated and ready to add to the character, along with some more flying and falling adjustments.
Our voxels are getting better and better, and now we’re doing fun testing exercises to see how they handle it. We’ve even tried throwing physics objects at the terrain, which is working really well! Level of details ranges and other parameters are still being fine-tuned, and the end result will be tuned for seamless performance.
Come back next week for more news and updates!
