Ok so the update is out, though it is not including everything we had planned, I had a major issue this morning with my animation system which saved incorrectly corrupting most of the game play files which took me most of the day to fix.
However the good news. We now have kids in the game, yes your tribe can now grow. If certain conditions are met (food surplus atm and a hut) you will find a new addition to your tribe.
We have redone a lot of the animations and these look much better than before, We have a lot more animations to come which we will be adding next week ( these would have been in today but I just couldn't fit it in after the problems I had this morning)
Currently the children do not eat or need food, again I didn't have time to get the eating animation in so they need no support!
Bugs? I think I have solved all the freezing issues now, I have been playing the game all week at 64 times speed and haven't had it happen so I am 99% certain it is fixed.
The deer freezing up after a failed hunt is now fixed.
The HTC Vive issue where it starts the Vive, as default Unreal has a support plugin for vive so I disabled that and guess that shouldn't happen now.
We have managed to get some speed buttons added so you can speed up the game now, I have thrown them in on the bottom, I will move them later though not sure where to put them.
There was going to be a wolf added in today but again until I can apply the finishing touches to him he is disabled.
Next week the wolf will be in, we will add more animations and start looking at more place able buildings.
We didn't manage to get everything ready for today that we hoped but I was determined to at least get a more stable version up today with the kids in it. After the disaster this morning we did well to get this up!. Hopefully you can get more of an idea where we are heading for the future, we only started in early access just less than a month ago, but have big plans. Let us know about any features or ideas you have.
Thanks Dark Cross Games.
