Beach Updates and Improvements
[h3]Building A Better Beach[/h3]
Maui is famous for jaw-dropping beaches and turquoise waters and making the shoreline its own special place is something we've worked on since the very beginning of our development. This week we completed work on a tool that will help us bring our beaches to life and give players great new places to build and explore.
[h3]Beach Diorama Tool[/h3]
The new beach diorama tool allows us to quickly and efficiently generate a number of different objects and scenes along the shoreline.
Placing these reminders of the world that existed before the Fracture used to take us hours of setting up by hand before the tool was completed.
The new system even allows us to add loot and props to structures nearby.
[h3]Exploration[/h3]
We know how much fun it can be to explore new areas and find those special spots, hidden away until you search for them. There are many unique places and lots to see along our shores now.
Bits of the world frozen in time since the collapse of civilization dot the beach.
There are structures to check out for shelter, water, or maybe a surfboard or two.
The numerous wrecks along the beach are perfect for exploring any time of the day, even the middle of the night.
[h3]Beach Houses[/h3]
It may be a bit further away from resources when compared to building a house in the jungle, but building on the beach has some great benefits. Not only is the ocean a beautiful looking backdrop but it can act as a natural barrier to help you avoid danger. It doesn’t matter if you’re building a stone fortress on a sandbar
or a simple grass shack, there’s plenty of open spaces for players to build on along the beach.
[h3]Natural Highway[/h3]
With the new beach diorama tool in place, players can fully enjoy one of Maui’s most iconic features. Traveling along the sand can be a good way to investigate some of the more dangerous parts of the island, with a clear path of retreat if you need it. We want the beach to be a place for you to meet up with other players, scrounge for resources, and an interesting place for you to explore with an occasional reminder of what life used to be like on the island.
[h3]Beta Keys[/h3]
The end of our refactor is almost here. It’s true that we will be in a state of testing and building for months to come but we are narrowing in on a window when we can open the game up to new testers again. Mahalo to our current testers who help us find what needs fixing every week and providing great ideas for the game. We love your feedback so keep it coming!
