War of the Worlds - 1 Hour of New Gameplay (2024)

*Work in progress pre-alpha gameplay, everything is subject to change, nothing is final*  It’s been a while since our last public update but things have been moving behind the scenes. I wanted to have this video for you guys around New Years but I had some severe project corruption issues around Christmas that set me back quite a bit. We’re all caught up now though.   This is our biggest update video yet.   Closed Testing available on Patreon: 2024-02-04 22:27:56 +0000 UTC View Post

(All previews show Work in Progress features some recorded directly from the editor)

In our latest Q&A video with Voidboi we spoke about converting the project from Unity's built in standard rendering pipeline to Unity's newer and more progress High Definition Render Pipeline.

Copyright Concerns & New Original Tripod Design

We are aware that many of you have felt concerns and fears regarding copyright. Many are worried that paramount may take action to shut down the game because of using the 2005 War of the Worlds film tripod design in the game, especially after revealing the new movie accurate model earlier this month. We have addressed these concerns on several occasions and several forums and are aware of the risks of doing so. While we stand firm on continuing to use the movie accurate tripods unless any act...

New Tripod Rising & Heatray deploy animation

Just a preview of how the new tripod looks with its completely reworked rising & heat ray deploy animation. Just one of many of the animations that were redone for the new tripod model & rig.

Interactions with NPCs have also been added. Interactive dialogue with the ability for the player to control which way the conversation can go with different outcome...

New Tripod Textures & Walk Animation Previews

EldeBH: Hey guys,  We felt like breaking the silence and I'm finally at a point where I'm happy to show off my progress on the tripod model and textures. I've been looking very meticulously at the movie to make sure I could get every visible detail into the textures. Many so small you might not even notice them in these renders.   I've also been working on a walk cycle (First 2 gifs) and have been figuring out the shaders for the hood lights of which you can see a preview. &nbs...

New 100% accurate Tripod 3D Model created for the game

This month has had little to no news for you all. We felt that today would be the perfect opportunity to show you guys what we've been working on behind the scenes. Below you will find preview screenshots of the new Tripod model that has been created for the game. Work began on the model on December 4th when I contracted the talented @EldeBH after seeing his 3D art in the artwork channel.

War of the Worlds - New Survival Gameplay Highlights

New physics based tentacles WIP preview

New tentacles have been redone from scratch. They are physics based and don't use  IK anymore. This results in a much more fluid and natural look and runs much smoother than the IK tentacles. This is only 2 day's of work on the new system so there is still lots to polish and smoothen out.

New Procedural AI Probe WIP Preview

I've been working on a new physics based procedural pathfinding probe from scratch which uses 0 animations and is 100xs more dynamic, interactable, and unpredictable. It's in its early stages as I've only put a few hours into this so far but was eager to share with you guys the progress. There is still a lot to tweak and smoothen out but this is a glimpse of what it will be when completed. I placed a target for the probe to seek out in one of the deepest and furthest corners and it managed to...
