A quick patch to fix some minor issues.

Changelist

Fixed vehicle recharge speed in colony
Fixed animals being pushed up into the air a lot
Fixed birds bouncing up and down in the air sometimes
Fixed giraffe animation bug
Fixed falling to the ground after swimming to about 50 meters in height
Fixed NPC getting twisted by IK when holding a gun or bow
Tweaked the time for loot to disappear

In this build, we focused on AI attack behavior and the new and Adventure mode terrain rendering (work in progress, some places are sorta flat). We also made it possible for executing custom stories ingame, so now players can make story based custom maps. This is still the basic version with bugs, so we look forward to players giving us feedback regarding the editor and its execution. We also started our optimization of the garbage collection problem, there’s some minor optimization with terrain rendering, that should make the stuttering happen farther apart. We’ve found that most of the stuttering happen while Unity is clearing terrain memory, so we’ll be optimizing that from now on. We hope to see improvement by the next build in early April. We ran through and fixed most of the storyline bugs, players should be able to go all the way to the Negotiations mission now. Starting with the next build, we’ll be adding a lot animation and missions to the storyline. We’ll try to be story complete by a0.96.

Changelist

A small patch. Also a note on the stuttering in game, this is mostly caused by garbage collection (clearing out some of the memory), we haven’t fixed this yet because it’s caused by multiple things, so we’ll have to go through it one by one, but we are aware of the problem.

Hey everyone, we’re getting closer and closer to beta. In this build, we mostly fixed a lot of the NPC behavior problems. We also moved the game up to Unity 5.24, which should fix some of the vehicle physics problems. We went about fixing most of the story related bugs, so players should be able to play through what we have right now. We’re trying to wrap up the story before beta. For the next build, which will be around mid-March, we’ll be focusing on AI groups and AI behavior, Adventure mode features, as well as the World Editor along with its story editor.

Due to upgrading to Unity 5.24, we had to repack our assets, so this build is pretty big and might affect some saves (we’re not sure).

Changelist

A quick hotfix patch. Also a reminder that the World Editor is working pretty well now and that there’s actually a custom map that you can try out when you press Custom in the main menu.

Changelist

Fixed Adventure mode NPC store UI
Fixed follower death being permanent when logging off right after in multiplayer
Fixed Training Facility not working correctly
Fixed NPCs not being in towns in Adventure
Fixed custom weapons hitting the player when in vehicle
Fixed not being able to aim weapons on vehicle
Fixed trees respawning in multiplayer after already being cut

Hey everyone, a new build’s here. This build was mostly used to fix story problems. The storyline now hopefully goes to where we actually have it.

We spend the last three weeks fixing multiple bugs in the a0.9 version. This version is a lot more stable and smoother than the previous version. We’ll have another build out around the end of the month or early Feb. For that build, we’re aiming for more missions and ai features such as group behavior. We are reading the boards here and at our site, so if you have any bugs, please do send them in. That really helps us in a big way!
