This is my first week back from holidays and work is kicking my butt right now. I’m not finding the time I need to really sit down and polish the streaming world demo as much as I’d like. Rather than delay it longer, I’ve decided to release a web demo for everyone to play with. That buys me time for things to settle down at work while I chip away at the final demo. Please consider this a pre-release test and forgive the rough edges.

Streaming World Pre-Release Test 1

http://www.dfworkshop.net/web_demos/StreamingWorld-PreReleaseTest1/StreamingWorld-PreReleaseTest1.html

Note: Requires the Unity Web Player.

Features

Explore the entire Illiac Bay. Any region, any climate, anywhere.

Run smoothly between cities over actual Daggerfall terrain read from game data.

Full day/night cycle with animated skies and city lights.

Enter any building in any town or city.

Control an athletic player who can jump onto small buildings and sprint at high speeds through the wilderness.

Location beacon helps you find cities in the wilderness.

Entire world is built procedurally right inside your web browser.

Known Issues/Limitations

Not optimized. Uses a lot of memory over time.

May encounter a brief hitch when updating sky animation or streaming in a large location.

No bounds checking. Possible to run off extreme edge of world or crash.

Running very distant from starting point will cause precision issues. A fix is in progress to resolve this.

No compass or map to help you navigate.

Cannot enter dungeons at this time.

If you encounter problems with precision or fall through ground, please use R to travel to random location or 1-4 for preset locations. See controls below.

I hope you have fun with this pre-release demo. Thank you for your patience while I take care of real-life stuff.
