Hi, this update brings variety of sea life, turtles and snakes into game.
So in shallow water you can find:
- mackerel
- cuttlefish
- stingrays
In medium water:
- salmon
- octopus
In reefs:
- eel
In open sea:
- goliath fish
- sharks
- mantas
The edge of the map is protected by great white shark.
Fresh water:
- redeye
- perch (will be available on second map)
- pike (will be available on second map)
Also reptiles have been added:
- cobra
- sea turtles
- tortoise
- giant tortoise
Smaller fish can be taken to hand. Bigger ones - eel, sharks, mantas, goliaths and giant tortoise must be cut for meat in place.
I have unified fish to animals. To be little bit technical - UE does not support full 3D navigation. So I had fish separated from general animals. Anyway I needed to make land animals able to swim as well. Especially the crocodiles and water snakes.
So I have used the same technique for fish now. It has some pros and cons. Especially the larger fish movement might seem little bit "robotic". This will be improved by adding turning animations inf future development.
Dead animal corpses will be addressed - their physics movement.
Additionally to it I have optimized some collision channels and will continue to do so in future.
Thank to your support I could afford to obtain a lot of new animals - so I will make similar update for birds as well (seagulls, eagles, ravens, ducks, sparrows, owls). I hope they will be able not only to fly, but to swim (ducks, seagulls) and walk as well. Additionally to it, they will lay eggs (as will do sea turtles).
Thank you for your support! Please do not forget to review the game - it helps a lot!
