Alpha 1.6 and Beyond - Development Update

Hello everyone,

We wanted to give you a quick update on what we are doing at the moment:

* Alpha 1.6

As we previously announced, the main focus of Alpha 1.6 is on performance optimization and code refactoring (internal house keeping and cleanup for the team that will make life easier for them when we add new features).

This week we finished the refactoring part and work has now started on performance optimization.

* Alpha 1.7

Our plan for Alpha 1.7 is to include the most commonly requested features. Please note that this list is not final and is subject to change:

  • Agility: Jumping in place, Jumping forward, Vaulting over fences, Climbing Ladders.
  • First Person Mode: You can switch between first and third person modes at any time.
  • New Weapons: Winchester Shotgun, Blunderbuss, Lewis Gun, Camel Gun, GEW Sniper Rifle
  • POI Compass: A compass on top of the screen that shows nearby POI and the distance to them. If a POI is not yet discovered you will see a Question mark icon, otherwise it will be an icon representing the POI.
  • Shooting on top of horse/camel.
  • New Points of Interest.

That's it for this quick update. We will keep you posted with anything new.
