Hi Everyone, figured it was time to show progress made in the last few months. As always its a straight one shot gameplay recording unpolished and as is. This is not a game that is currently available to buy anywhere but I do plan to release when its finished. There is also no Game Name decided yet. I play in the demo using Keyboard/Mouse but it is fully controller compatible too.
Quite a bit has been happening since the last video and the big updates are as below.
updated to Unreal Engine 5.3 and DLSS 3.5
Questing system Replaced as the earlier solution I was using in one of the videos was not multiplayer ready and had some other issues so started over with a much better design from the off, this is just first look for questing and the UI will be updated.
The big update everyone has been asking for is now in... Water Combat. Now anything in the water that attacks you you can fight back, yes the sharks too though id still steer clear of the sharks unless carrying the Trident.
Surface tricks/dives are also in and you can see in this video the start of this though I do plan to add more. huge improvements have been made in performance too opening up for a much more populated ocean. LUT corrections have gone in and boosted the color a bit and made some other camera improvements.
Alterations to thin down the tail design have been completed which was another thing commented on quite a bit. And as there was a recent big movie with lots of Pink we just had to get a new skirt and tail to match right.
Some new AI characters have been added and the existing Water based AI extended to be full combat ready.
Horse/Pegasus animation / IK improvements though i forgot to show the horse in this video but the earlier strange legs in places for the horse are now solved :) Anyhow these are the key updates, lots of minor things but would take too long to list everything, Hope you like it and let me know in the comments what else you want to see added or is there enough functionality here now to start and crack on with getting the game ready to go after the next bugfix run.
