ALIEN DAWN - Update 16

Hello!

🏠 Home Screen 🏠

A focus of this update has been on revising the opening Home Level of the start of the game.

Instead of the Cabin it's now the Old Brick Mansion, and time was invested in adding higher quality models, along with more Physics and Player Interactions to this level.

There's still more to be done on the Start Scene Home Level, but it shows a step in the right direction to improving the graphics and game play interactions in the game.

🏆 Achievements 🏆

We've added Achievements to this version, with the plan for future versions to have the achievements unlock Modifiers for the various game modes. This new stat system also saves your progress to your Steam account, so your stats will now travel with you to different devices. Moving to this new stat system will reset any locally saved stats you currently have in the game.

*Working on adding Leadersboards to this soon*

🎥 A.I. Camera (Alpha) 🎥

Anyone that has been following ALIEN DAWN knows about the new type of Spectator Camera we've been developing to create movie like stories out of your game play. Previously this was only available on our official VoyagerVR server, but you can now experiment with it as a VR player on your own computer.

🔻 In addition to the updates mentioned above, here are several gifs of some new game play 🔻

This patch primarily focuses on multiplayer fixes as we continue to make online play stable and a solid gameplay experience. It also includes tweaks and additions, many of which are based on feedback from our friends on the Alien Dawn Discord.

People buy the game after seeing posts about the new version, then launch a two-year-old build instead. Naturally, that isn't the experience I want new players to have. 2. Playtesters potentially use the wrong branc…
