Shipyard Update 1
Added 2024-01-09 01:01:14 +0000 UTCHi!
Here's a short Shipyard rebuild update.
I start with the included video and some topics related to that.
Some of you might remember that I showcased a water buoyancy thing a long time ago in one of the devlogs. This feature was mostly designed for this Shipyard map and multiple barges that are on this map.
This water buoyancy becomes interesting since it simulates floating and while you are looting these barges you are on top of moving platform. This basically means that your controller is slightly disoriented and if you get into firefight while you are on the barge, the aiming becomes much more difficult also.
This buoyancy thing is also connected to weather system, meaning if there's a storm the water level rises a bit and wave intensity increases which makes the buoyancy more aggressive and so on.
On top of this, I made all the shipping containers enterable like shown in the video and overall the rebuilding process with this map has started pretty smoothly.
Here's few random screenshots also from the road that leads to the dock area.

Jump physics feel super good here, not floaty and heavy, perfectly balanced.

For everyone interested here’s a great video by the wonderful Acerola on water physics in video games and why it is so hard to make it look good and not ruin performance. https://youtu.be/ja8yCvXzw2c?si=MNxBRRaNbHMw-LDl
