Update: Treasure Island, PoseViewer Android

Hey everyone,

we hope you had a great week! Let's get right to it then 😊

Treasure Island:

I have some technical Screenshots and some Updates from the Village for you for this week.

Let's start with some AI Chicken! The Lead Coder is working on basic AI for the Fauna on our lovely Island. We currently have chickens that are aware of you and their surrounding, but do not flee from you.

And we have a nice green Cone that is going to be a Wildboar for example. It grazes, does not react unless it's noticing you within a certain distance and flees (or attacks, but that´s not yet implemented) from you. And if you are behind it, it does not see you, if you crouch it does not hear you etc. It´s really cool 😎

Another thing to improve the usability of the Sandbox mode will be a Transform & Rotation Gizmo that we will have to move & rotate poses. That will be more intuitive. It´s not the final look on the screenshot! This is just to illustrate the functionality

 And we got 2 more Screenshots showing some Quest/Story-Flow approaches we have. The code version is how our guys write the quests which will den be translated and linked into Unreal with some more logic and tadaaa => we have a quest! Obviously it´s more work (setting Cameras, etc.) but I thought it´s nice for you to see some more under-the-hood stuff.

Last but not least I added a couple of Screenshots from the Village/Island Update for you. The next steps will be bigger procedural Plants (=Trees, Bushes, etc.) & Rocks. For now, we were just playing around with Gras, Flowers and Cliffs. And I copied the Temple from the initial Demo into the Map. It will feature more rooms in the upcoming Demo, but for now, it´s pretty much the same (because it looks so nice😊)

PoseViewer Android:

Yes, you read that right: we have a version for you! It´s been tested quite extensively but now is the time for you also to give it a shot. If you have PoseViewer already, you can log in with your A3D credentials.

PoseViewer was never developed with Android in mind, so it´s not the perfect mobile Experience. Please keep that in mind. But we worked really hard on making it as nice as possible for you.

Alright, that´s it for this week! I will be on Holidays next week, but will make an update with what the rest of the Team will come up with!

Have a great weekend 🥳🥰

Best,
PM&Team
