Development Update

[p]Don't have one cool thing to show this time, so this post will be a mix and match of everything that's been going on for the past few weeks! [/p][p][/p][h3]STEAMROLLER TURRET UPGRADE[/h3][p][/p][p]You've seen the turret in a lot of the steamroller content but never active. It is now fully implemented so it finally shreds COGs for you! [/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h3]STEAMROLLER SIDECAR UPGRADE[/h3][p][/p][p]Even more exciting then the turret is imo the sidecar upgrade, where you can ride along one of your buddies, AND USE YOUR WEAPONS while they drive! No doubt this will create some funny moments.

Just gotta fix the back breaking haha.[/p][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h3]NATURE TAKING OVER[/h3][p][/p][p]Now that we have a bunch of locations set up, we are experimenting with different tools to generate terrain. We really want to sell the idea that the island has been abandoned and reclaimed by nature. [/p][p]
[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]STEAMROLLER DOCKING[/h3][p][/p][p]The docking animations are now finished, with the Steamroller packing nicely inside so you can still access the inventory box, upgrades, etc.

And the module now not only stores Steamrollers but also repairs them! [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h3]TECH TREE [/h3][p][/p][p]Last but not least, here's a prototype of a tech tree we're working on. We believe this could really help with confusion around crafting. [/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]BOSS BATTLE AND MORE[/h3][p][/p][p]Aside from that we've been working on the Area 1 boss location but I don't want to spoil that to you. But it's getting harder and harder not to haha.

And then a lot of technical stuff around the island which is not visual enough for this.

However it's coming along nicely, here's one corner of area 1 with white box versions of the locations I already showed you in previous posts placed together.

This corner has more environment variation then the entire island that's currently in the game.



Appreciate you all and let us know what you think![/p]
