If it's not rocket science, be it bullet hell !

Today was the 100th stream session. Such feelings, as I can barely remember the 1st one, measuring the hell out of the gamedoc and learning a new engine. Turns out to be okay now, as a major update of the worldBuilder is finally complete.

One of the biggest challenge of the project is to maintain a meaningfull procedural generation with an overall (macro) hardcoded shape, aaand with a "tweakable" level design. Eventually it should run on mid-high configs so when last benchmark shown that it wasn't that good, I figured that a complete clean of the way our engine handle our meshes, taking into acount the procedural-stuff and the will of having a full-dynamic-and-easy-to-iterate workflow.

Aaand now I can precisely say that if you have around 2.5Go of RAM well congrats, you can navigate in our generated cities. Yay /o/

That being said, procedural will stall for a bit of time as our Game Artist is replacing every placeholders inch by inch. His Substance pipeline is almost fully integrated to the project, and the workflow is approved. As a techie, I'll keep a close look to his progressive integration as he might need some help finding how to replace assets, but [worldBuilder v5] also manage an indepth asset manager. Sooo it should be okay. I'll now focus a li'll bit more on the ingame UI, the crafting system, the item management. Online gameloop should reach its primitive shape for the end of January.

Thanks to the few people following us on our twitch channel as it is really motivating us. :)

Finally, train on bridges.

First artwork from our Lead Artist. Jeeeez I want to see more !

So many updates ! First of all, the team has a new challenger, our Lead Artist, who's carrying the background story with his deep research and is setting the whole mood of the game. The production step is closer than ever, and the group is ready to start all placeholders removals with clean and sharp assets !
The entire map generation has evolved in many ways to add more granularity to the whole city aspect.

Aaaaand soon the website.
