Rain, new clay and tables! The rain is nearly done and looking and sounding great. Once rain kicks in everything looks wet and you can see little rain drops moving around on surfaces, it’s really nice! And not to mention the sky again, but after playing a LOT, I noticed that you never really see the same sky twice. The clouds are procedurally blended to give endless combinations, it’s really cool and natural.

I got tired of clay pelting the sides of hills and being ugly blobs everwhere. Now they are their own sub biome with a new texture that has bits of grass growing on it and it blends into every biome very naturally. It’s easy to find and looks a lot more natural.

I made this block table a while back but I don’t think I showed it off yet. You can make them and stack them to make them look like shelving. There are scrap metal ones and a few other types bu since its a block you could mod it to use any block texture and have a wall paper table if you felt like it, or a carboard one, etc. Those are bad examples but block shapes are a lot more versatile than regular 3d models.



I’m working on that video. Well actually I’m waiting for a few sounds to get done then I will shoot the video. There are some really cool things we snuck in while the minibike is getting polished that people are really going to like and I’ll show them in the video. I’ve been playtesting, it is a lot of fun but there are a lot of little bugs and polishing to do. There is a new audio system now that we are using to play ambient sounds. So instead of a long looping sound where you hear the same repetitive thing if you pay attention we play various sounds per biome and then randomly play little stingers to keep it random. We play a little sound when day breaks and shift from crickets to bird chirping and day time sounds. It’s very immersive and combined with the new weather system makes the game feel new once again.



Today I also found a bug where a feral horde came to your house every night in Alpha 11. Its small only 5 guys but still it makes people think the stealth system is broken. Its not, its just feral hordes can find you no matter how well you hide and they should only come out on night 7. We might patch this soon.

Things are coming together we hope to release Alpha 12 before the month is over.
