Upcoming plans
An update on the current patch. We are hard at work to make it include many additions and fixes. We have recently decided to re-do our AI in hopes it will fix one of the biggest issues with the frame rate. Currently, we are unsure of the exact cause, although we have found that it may be the AI or the foliage. We have planned to replace the foliage eventually, and as for the AI, I will be thorough and clean as I possibly can.
We do use Blueprints to program the project, and C++ could help us fix a lot of major issues. So I will be taking some time to create AI that is C++ based or we will figure out an alternative.
What does this mean for the updates? Nothing too out of the ordinary, in fact! We will be adding a lot, from aquatic hunting, to several new areas to hunt. Time of day and weather effects are in the game as of now and some of the feature will be present in the upcoming update.
Progress so far!
Matt has recently been hard at work and has now completed a majority of the audio for our 20+ animals in-game! And our newcomer, Jonathan has animated Apatosaurus and the new T.Rex model along with creating audio for the T.Rex. Jonathan also developed a new soundtrack for our main menu! I am incredibly excited to implement all of these, the Main Menu will also feature an update too! Charlie and Moreno have also worked hard on the weapons. Moreno is getting a ton of new explosives done and the last few weapons. Charlie and I will be working together soon to get the trailer done. Thus, we are quite literally on the verge of Early Access and I couldn't be more proud of my team! The UI is next on our list to update, however, we have much to implement before we go live; I will leave you all with this.
A Mysterious Hunt has been discovered!
A theropod has been spotted, but only in unconfirmed reports from hunters in exclusive areas. This theropod appears to have been never documented before, appearing to have long arms with sickle like claws, and quill-like spines along it's tail. We are awaiting more reports on this creature.
