Monthly update 1st of June 2021
This Month we have been working very hard on the beginning of the game and now we are in the final art stage of the Level, we have some images we would like to show you, this has been a lot of work as we have no levels in the game that are set in the day time, so we had to create a new skybox and then tweak with the lighting and the fog in order to get the right feel, we are now in a place where we feel happy with it but some of this could change later on so don’t take this as absolute.

Unexpectedly EPIC have released an early version of their new engine (Unreal Engine 5), and we also have an option to move our game over to Unreal engine 5, however this isn’t going to be as straight forward as clicking a button then making the switch, we need to ensure we can do this and the plugins we are using are also going to work in the engine if they don’t then we will have to make a hard decision do we re-write our plugins again and make the switch or do we stay in Unreal engine 4. Hopefully in a month or two we will know if it’s worth the change as Unreal engine 5 does have some amazing tech that we really could use for optimization.

On a personal note I am currently in the process of moving house so this will mean that development might be slow for the next 2-3 weeks but once I am all fully moved in then we should be up and running and will finally get this game finished and in your hands!

Hi guys another monthly update, we have made a lot of progress this month and are happy to share what we have got done and what is still in progress.

Beginning scenes: We have made a lot of progress on our beginning scene but we think this will take longer than expected mainly because we want to make sure we have the scenes perfect and fits in with the story. We are also debating whether the scenes should be set in the day/night/dusk so we are testing out a few things with lighting and fog.

Engine: We have now been able to upgrade to 4.26 we had a blocker with a plugin but this has now been fixed and we can now utilize the new version. This includes more realistic water and landscapes and also this will improve optimization and performance for the game.

Hopefully next month we will have something goo to show you please stay tuned!
