Hey guys! Recently we've been really pushing to make sure this demo will be as awesome as we can make it. Since our demo takes place in a dungeon, and no dungeon is complete without an epic boss, we've decided that on top of having a basic combat encounter showing off our directional combat system, we will also be having an epic boss battle at the end!
So today I modeled, textured, and rigged up our demon with some armor! (Just quickly done up placeholder animation to test the rig)
Other than that, I had been messing around with Unity's occlusion culling, and have been rather impressed with how well things have been going. After tweaking the settings around for a bit and properly learning the system I was able to improve my fps 3-4x. Optimization and proper quality settings are something I have high up on my priority list. I want people with lower end or perhaps outdated rigs to still enjoy the game while also allowing those with higher end rigs to crank up Lighting, Textures, and PPE and really enjoy the work I'm putting into the game.
Here is a nice overhead shot of the culling system at work.
Oh, and enjoy this gif from a while back testing our skeleton legionaries rig with the human animations.
So what's next? Well, we are still in need of serious financial funding but have some investors we are following up with. In the mean time I would sincerely appreciate it if you would consider donating at our website (www.dps-games.com), donating just $5 will get you the demo by around the 2nd week of June, 2-4 weeks before its public release!
It also looks like we will be bringing on our third and final core team member, he will be taking the role of coding the shaders we need and almost exclusively working on our procedural level system! We are very excited to get that up and running!
