Hello there, gamers!To start this update - cloud experiment that turned out into Erokin Halloween Illustration:)
Night version
As for what has been done, there are a lot - a big chunk of it was focused on optimization:Breaking area into smaller levels, figuring out the best way to stream said levels to deliver the pleasant experience.Also we decided to stick to night time for the first chapter of the game with just a minor change between starting area and ruins.Another big chunk of work was done on polishing the pathway - blocking unintended pathways, adding death colliders here and there( :P), adding smaller details, tweaking the combat areas, placing some loot and etc., polished both Ruin’s cutscene.
Invisible cubes with orange lines are a part of those streaming volumes that helps with optimization:)
Oh we also are having interactable doors for Tavern area
In the end I'm quite happy with what we’ve managed to achieveStill some more experiments are in order to make sure we manage to make it fun to roam,fight and explore!
