Hey everyone, it’s time for a new development update.
Level: The Umbar mountain area is now coming into focus for an improvement pass/rework while we are performing some issue hunting.
The world landscape now uses the new shader and we are looking to upgrade the old world landscape shader for sandbox purposes.
We also added more meshes for Lake Village and replaced most of the Lake Village blockouts with finished meshes.

Happy New Year everyone,
Welcome to the first development update of 2023. Since many of our devs are still on their end of the year vacation, things are starting off slow in some departments. But we have big plans for this year and can’t wait to get there. Of course one of our main focus points is to improve performance and physics behavior as soon as possible but these tasks will require a lot of trial and error to find out what is causing the issues so it may take a while before we ...
2023-01-06 13:36:43 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
The year is almost over and we are looking with a lot of excitement and determination towards 2023. We had many awesome milestones this year like the introduction of the Sandbox mode, our booth at the Dokomi convention, the beginning of our work with professional motion capture, and our move to UE5. Internally our work on the story, quests, NPCs, locations and world map has also been progressing very well and we hope to be able to share the progress with you in one of the com...

2022-12-22 18:05:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
After some intense bug-fixing this week we are now almost ready to release the last version of 2022. We fixed many crashes, the animation desyncing, a performance issue due to memory management, sandbox gizmo, and many other smaller things. Overall we have made massive improvements on the stability compared to the testing version from last week. Sadly there are still several issues that will require more time to fix, jittery physics are still there, as well as generally weaker ...

We have updated our launcher so you should get the latest version from here.
Hello everyone,
It is time! We are very excited to announce that the new $25 build is almost ready to be released. Since this is the first version using the new Unreal Engine 5.1 there are still plenty of issues in pretty much all areas of the game. Lighting will be different, performance will probably be worse in many cases and there may be several other random things not working or even crashing so we advise to keep the last version you have around. If you encounter any problem please...

Welcome to one of the last dev update posts of the year,
UE5 (Important): The move is making progress but some of the “little issues” we mentioned last week turned out to be not so little. Our main concerns currently are: lighting, physics and performance. It all generally works and looks quite good, but these aspects still require more time. The performance currently is down overall until we perform an in-depth profiling. Physics behavior changed completely and we ...

Hey all, it is time for another dev update :)

Welcome to another dev update :)
UE5: Earlier this week we were solving compiler issues for the project, now that those are mostly out of the way our next step is to look at project loading issues and errors.

Hey everyone,
Time for a new dev update.
UE5: The engine update is coming along well for now. We are still in the early stages but things are looking up. However there may be features that won't work correctly or no longer exist in the next release. Keep in mind that we will do our best to make the entire project be as functional as it was in previous releases but some aspects may take longer to get fully working (character fur could be one of those).
