Hi Everyone, been a while since my last video but I hope you like the progress shown in this one.
* This is a small test map only to demonstrate features, the video is unedited gameplay recording.

Some of the key updates in this video are.
Updated the project to Unreal Engine 5.2 which brings lots of engine fixes and performance improvements as well as PCG which is now being used to populate the level.

Trying out a new Tropical environment which I think fits the game better than the last videos. caves and dungeon areas will be added. You will also see some of the new AI I have been working on in the video, Goblins and Gorgons have been added so far and the whole AI system updated to support Boss cooldown abilities(Medusa does have a turn to stone special ability grab attack too but I'm going to save showing that for the game). underwater predator AI has been rewritten and optimized now has a full grab and bite attack. Several more land based mythical AI creatures will be added as well as quite a few Ocean AI to come too.

Fluid simulation has been added for the ocean, Fish have been heavily optimized and also now are interactive and move out of the way of the player and predators.

New improved Combat system with greatly improved effects.

Open world sound system added where areas can be setup for different ambient, exploration and under attack sounds. Sound effects also added in many areas so no more silent videos haha

Music tracks purchased for the game are YouTube safe so anyone wanting to make their own gameplay videos can do so and monetize.

Lots of under the hood changes for the save system which has been completely replaced ready for anything that is thrown at it.

Support has been added for FSR 2, DLSS 3 and also the new Frame Generation for the RTX 4000 series cards.

Full control pad support and key/button remap via the menu system.

This game is still early alpha and in development. There is no game name decided on yet. This is a very small Indy project being worked on by just me so all updates for this game will be here on this YouTube. If you like the video and would like to see future updates and release information more please subscribe.

Mobile version is not planned for this game, initial release will be for PC via Steam or Epic Games store but this is still a way off (Early Access hopefully will be available early 2024, all depends how much I try to get in before release) so for now all updates will be here.
