Dev Blog 2018-08-28

Hello everyone,

Hopefully everyone is doing fine. This time it took us a bit longer to write a dev blog. Main reason behind that is that we had to implement an open world system. It took us a bit longer than we expected, but now everything is done and ready regarding that matter.

Below is the new layout of our map. Red zone indicates the size of the previous map that you all have seen. Therefore, there will be a lot of places that you will be able to explore, but hopefully won't get lost. Also there won't be any loading screens travelling through out the map. It took us a while to achieve this, but we are satisfied with the end result. (and this is probably only 1/5 of the map that we have planned)

Here are some other changes:

Main menu got a small update. It's in 3d form now and is more visually appealing. Down below you can take a look how it used to look.

Options were also moved to the 3d form, to match the overall appearance.

As well as character selection.

Dialogue UI was redone from scratch, because let's be honest the old one was pretty horrifying.

Quest window got a little bit of love as well.

Current example of character selection. Still a bit rough, but at least it's more fun this way. Right? :< 

With the upcoming build we will be adding a vehicle system, you probably seen it from our last post but here are some more updates regarding it. To enter the vehicle you simply press [F] while standing near and your character will enter it on its own. Similar to what GTA has, but we didn't have enough time to animate opening/closing the doors, but you can expect to see that anytime shortly. 

Furthermore, there's a radio in the car, so you will be able to listen to some music or even use your own sound tracks.

And lastly few more examples driving the car.

Update for patreon tiers:

Whoremonger 10$:

Access to the latest build on release (including experimental builds)

Pander 5$:

Access to the latest build 1 week after release

Hustler 1$:

Access to the latest build 2 weeks after release


Furthermore, we created a new role in our discord server called "Tester". This group will have access to all possible builds  without even having patron status. If you want to get into that group, just be active and help us improve the game.

P.S. we still have a lot of new things prepared for you, but decided not to share them in their current states, therefore we will write another dev blog this saturday or sunday. Stay tuned for more.
