Here's what's new for april on developing RadCity: A Post-Apocalyptic Adventure.
After adding WASD support, the hold-click to move has been reworked to use pathfinding. No more falling off bridges!
Another big complaint in the demo was the camera - tall buildings obscured the view. Now the game uses an occlusion mask to fade out the biggest view obstacles.
Also added are clearer visual markers for climbing and a new system for highlighting objects is in the works, making it easier to find them (and should work well with controller support later).
Meanwhile, the rest of the world is in progress. After crossing the railway bridge the game opens up with a ton of cool stuff to explore. Here is a screenshot of the train triage area.
The rest of the locations in the game are in various stages of completion. Most side missions are planned, written and being implemented.
A big takeaway from Next Fest is that there's a bigger than expected time demand for testing everything. Sometime in June, hopefully, a closed beta playtest will be announced here for anyone interested.
