The New Look of SOS: Shout of Survival

Hello everyone.

We are happy to announce this is a really BIG CHANGE in the game. Please have a look at the following images:

BEFORE:

AFTER:

We did multiple things here. So let me guide you through the improvements:

  • We changed the gameplay space from 2D to 3D. Meaning now we have elevation!
  • The old camera had an Orthographic projection. The new one is Perspective.
  • We started using real light instead of using dark images to simulate darkness.
  • This happened in the backend, but worth mentioning anyways. We did a lot of code refactoring. This will help us a lot in the future when we are adding more features.
  • The running changed. The feeling when running is much much better. Also, the footstep SFX changes depending on the surface you are walking on.

Here is a 13 seconds video showcasing the changes (Before and After):
