Dev Update (18/03/2025)

Hi!

Here's a quick dev update.

Like showcased in the previous post, I have now connected the new animations to the magazine system and in general that whole system is pretty much game-ready.

Since there's quite a lot of weapons in the early access, these new magazine animations will be added in batches. Since I have the initial animation batch now connected, it's really easy just to connect the rest of those later on in the upcoming months.

Tomorrow I will continue on working with the dynamic events and especially the airdrop mechanic which will need some parachutes and few tricks to keep the airdrop positions fully randomized.

I will share some previews of the airdrop event tomorrow.

Once I have the airdrop finished, I will start working on the BTR and figuring out an optimized method of implementing AI vehicles to the game. I have quite a solid idea related to this but there's still bunch design decisions to be made, for example what happens when the vehicle impacts with the player and what kind of damage values are related to the BTR turret etc.

Once the BTR is somewhat working, I will start adding the crash sites events related to the Mi-8. That crash site is a bit VFX heavy topic since it will need some custom smoke / fire particle effects and making sure those won't cause any rendering issues.
