Dev Update (02/04/2024)

Hi!

All major Public Demo 2 bugs have now been fixed as far as I know, including the "deadly consumable" and "bullet inserting stuck" + few other that I found today.

I also added few new items that I forgot to include from the Unity build.

I will be making this first patch tomorrow at the same time when I publish that new website.

Public Demo 2 Situation Update

i! Here's a little Public Demo 2 situation update.

I have been taking notes and watching as many videos / streams about the demo as possible and going through feedback emails and here's few thoughts so far:

1. There's 2 major bugs that are going to need asap patching next week, here's an explanation of those if you want to test the demo and avoid them:

- If you use a consumable straight from the container and close the interface before the item use time is finished, you wi...

Dev Update (25/03/2024)

Hi!

Here's a quick updated related to Public Demo 2.

I spent around 4 hours today of playtesting the Public Demo 2 build and it's starting to feel pretty solid. I was actually having a lot of fun with the looting and even for me as a developer it's exciting to find something rare and there's that good fear of losing that precious gear.

There will definitely be few patches that are going to polish some nuances afterwards that I don't have now time to polish, but in terms of a...

Dev Update (19/03/2024)

Hi!

Here's a quick dev update related to Public Demo 2.

The bug fixing and testing phase is progressing well and there's only one major bug left and 22 of those "easy-to-fix" ones.

Currently I'm kind of doing playtesting and bug fixing at the same time, so the bug list moves a little since I'm constantly finding new minor issues here and there but it's getting there slowly but surely.

At this current pace, Public Demo 2 is estimated to be released in 1-2 weeks.

Dev Update (17/03/2024)

Hi!

Here's a quick dev update and rather tech-oriented this time.

Like mentioned earlier. I have started the bug fixing / tweaking phase for Public Demo 2 and there was (so far) 2 major difficult bugs and over +50 small "easy to fix" bugs when I started this phase.

Today I managed to fix one of those major bugs and here's a little explanation related to that.

So in Public Demo 2 there are can be really big height differences between player and the AI (like AI guarding ...

Weapons Teaser

Hi!

I worked on some small impact dust/smoke VFX for hit surfaces (not visible on this video) and at the same time I decided to record a small teaser clip from all Public Demo 2 weapons.

Public Demo 2 is now in so-called "lockdown" mode, which means no more new features, just bug fixes and small tweaks.

Currently my "buglist" is well over +50 bugs (maybe 7-8 game breaking), but I will go through those one by one starting tomorrow. Luckily there's only one or two difficult b...

Trading System

Hi!

Yesterday I mentioned that today I will be finishing the trading system and now it's fully implemented.

Here's a small clip about the system.

Loot tables are still totally messed up, but technically everything works and it's bug tested in all possible scenarios so it should be good to go.

Public Demo 2 Tutorial is now finished and it includes all the necessary details related to this upcoming demo. Through this tutorial level you can also play around with all the weapons, attachments, trading and so on.

Dev Update (09/03/2024)

Hi!

Here's a quick dev update.

The training / tutorial are is now pretty much done and I also implemented an ammo system since infinite ammo in Public Demo 2 can't be a thing.

Ammo system works through cartridge boxes (like in Unity version) and you can see the current ammo in magazine through inspecting the weapon or through the interface.

In total around 40% of the lootable...

Public Demo 2 Weapons

Hi!

All the weapons have now been prepared for Public Demo 2 and here's the entire arsenal.

All these weapons are fully animated and this includes +120 custom animations files that were created for this upcoming demo.

This FPS animation topic was one of the main "scary" development task for the entire project and originally that was planned after the Public Demo 2. 

I'm happy that I manage to find really talented contractor for these (Barry) and this FPS animation...
