Fall Devlog - Update Progress & Winter Sale
Hey Hunters,
I apologize for the lack of updates and communication. I have been having to deal with major changes behind the scenes along with personal troubles and obligations. We are participating in the Steam Winter Sale! Grab Wrath of the Goliaths now untill January 2nd for 45% off!
Progress on the upcoming update is coming along, albeit way slower than expected. It is in fact such a major update though, I am expecting it to essentially put the game somewhere along the lines of Patch 0.5.x.0. I believe it will be that content intensive. Nearly pushing us to full release. Going forward, the third segment of the patch version will represent the date of the patch (MonthYear, ex. 120 representing January 2020).
As of now, here is a taste of the upcoming content:
Map Updates:
- Haystack Ridge revamp, increased FPS, and with new points of interest
- Dreary Sono revamp with new points of interest
- Flat Lands revamp with new points of interest
- New Map 1, it is an environment to get you familiar with your hunting skills
- New Map 2, a hostile environment to showcase the predators of Wrath of the Goliaths. This will be a very difficult map to hunt on.
- All maps have revamped camera settings to look more true to life and less stylized.
- All maps will have reduced grass
Hunt Updates:
- Several new dinosaurs:
Cryolophosaurus
Nigersaurus
Gigantospinosaurus (Smaller cousin of Stegosaurus)
And more!
- Several returning hunts:
T.Rex
Triceratops
Sauroposeidon
Dilophosaurus
Majungasaurus
- Dinosaur TLC:
T.Rex
Dimetrodon
Edaphosaurus
Megalosaurus
Stegosaurus
Sauroposeidon
Dilophosaurus
Majungasaurus
Carnotaurus
Apatosaurus
Acrocanthosaurus
Carcharodontosaurus
Dinosaur TLC is when the textures are remade to help enhance the detail on the dinosaurs. As well as retopology to help make animating and gameplay-integration more streamlined.
Gameplay Updates:
- New weapon:
The Flamethrower
- Trophy room
- Updated how trophies are collected and the information saved. This information is the distance from where you killed the dinosaur, and with what weapon killed the dinosaur
- Updated albino and melanistic skins
- New Alts for some dinosaurs
- Nests around the map, destroy the eggs and use them to lure in dinosaurs. For each successful nest destroyed, a reward is given.
- Reduced inventory size
- It is less punishing for when you hunt illegal hunts
- Megalosaurus is nerfed
- Dinosaurs now have more accurate movement, resulting in slower speeds for some and increased speed for others
-
Many more quality of life changes and bug fixes such as:
- Weapons no longer fire after you die
- You have to return to the base camp where you spawn in order to end the hunt
- Ragdoll fixes
- Grenade bounce issues
- Audio tweaks and changes such as replacing the foot step and landing audio
- Added death from falling, jumping off a cliff will result in your death. However, this has to be a substantial height, around the size of two T.Rex's
Thank you to all of you hunters! Here's a sneak peak of whats to come!
