Update 6.2.0:

Androids


The Androids have all been upgraded to be a little more... life-like... with a series of features like IK kinematics and better animations.

  • They've been optimized to allow for dozens of them to be interacting on screen at once.
  • The trail system tracks a distance of 500 meters and changes how fast it fills in based on the type of weather.
  • Oh, and you might experience some different weather on the surface.

  • This is not a content update but there is additional dialog and some environmental enhancements...

Linux


There is currently an issue with the Linux build affecting Chapter 6. I have isolated the issue between the AI aspect of the new cat character and a potential memory leak associated with the collision particles in the ice caverns. Resolving this issue is the #1 priority right now and I will update this post immediately once it’s fixed.

Story


The Androids have been dreaming. We gave them consciousness as a tool and they had the audacity to embrace it. Like watching a child l reach toward a hot stove the Androids have no idea what kind of pain and terror they'll face.

Update Sep 21: Disabled visual line trace of DOGVI

I've been primarily focusing on CAT Interstellar: Episode II but development has taken a little longer than I expected so I thought I would push some more content to the original in the mean time. So, UPDATE 6.1.0 (Win/Linux) THE CAT!!!! The Cat character in Chapter 5 has been totally revamped from the ground up. New meshes, new logic, and even…
