Bulwark Evolution: Falconeer Chronicles News

Hi everyone another regular update.

here's the modest changelist.

• Increased the zoom out/height of the camera to go from a max of 120 to 160
  
• added pyro rockets to the Verne , both in practice and inventory
  
• improved the formation flying of capital airships so they are behind and above the plane of the surveyor , and in tighter formation (less bumping)
  
• improved model and shader for Crabton Boss
  
• improved shader for murenal
  
• improved model and shader for mosaur
  

the next beta patch should actually contain two experimental features I've decided on

1. fog of war on the map, so places not in range of your buildings or traderoutes remain hidden on the map, this to make exploration and unlocking of the map also feel like progression. Should hopefully add a sense of satistfaction and make certain unique buildings like the lighthouse and surveyors hq more usefull

2. A little countdown on how much population is still required for the next soultree unlock. Perhaps even showing which unlock is next. Visible when you engage the resource flow mode. to give folks a little bit more of a hint that something unlockable is coming up..

That is all for now, :)
cheerio,
Tomas

p.s don't forget to leave a user review, nearly at 1100!!

Hi Everyone,

I pushed the old beta changes to live to make room for a more concerted effort in regards to new features and prep for a bigger named update.

This small beta update adds the following

• improved the quality and lights on various props
  
• added some small details like, anchors, rivets and railings to various ships
  
• improved the Imperial tradesman ship, cuz it was ugly (edited)
  
• added the resources a settlement will trade underneath its highlighted world icon (in-game)
  
• added the resources a settlement will trade underneath its name on the map
  

Here's some screens

So when on the map or closeby a settlement that allows trade will always show what it trades for what. Hopefully a useful little feature to make it easier to figure out what captain should be on that route.




Ships have gained Anchors, little railings, rivets ,small details basically that are carrying forward from the secret project. I am working on getting some climbing rigging on the masts as well. This serves no purpose other than it's cool to look at. there's a few windows and other little flourishes here and there as well.



Enjoy this first little beta.. I am first doing some QoL and porting over some other stuff to Bulwark that makes things look nicers over the coming weeks , ramping up to the behemoth surveyor and other stuff.

cheerio,
Tomas
