Dev Update (10/03/2025)

Hi!

Here's a quick dev update.

I'm currently working on the dynamic events and at the same time implementing the rest of the magazine system which is now based on those separated magazines.

This new magazine system will need few new magazine animations per weapon and there's also magazine checks coming to get rid of the "generic" weapon inspect UI. This magazine check feature (example anim. attached) will give you approx. ammo count in the magazine like ~1/2 or ~1/4 and you will also visually see the bullets in the magazines.

On top of this, I have been optimizing the dynamic TOD / weather system and for example I got rid of the old "Aurora" simulation which used fairly expensive rendering technique, so now it's basically fully "free" effect (rendering cost) since it's part of the skybox shader and uses fairly simple rendering tricks (new approach in the image above).

I have basically two new feature highlight video coming:
- Day & Night Cycle
- Magazines, Grenades & Lasers

I have a small outdoor trip coming this week to northern Finland, I will leave there on Wednesday, so I will probably release the Day & Night Cycle video first before I leave and the second video week after that.

I will be returning from that trip on the weekend.

ps. Guard voice acting is also 99% done, I listened the voice lines today and they were spot on :)
