Improved Character Models
The characters in Wacambria Island have had a much needed makeover and now look more fabulous than ever! Featuring better mesh configuration for animations and adorable facial expressions. A in game character customization tool has been added to ease my workload and open the possibility of player character customization.
Camera System
I've poured a great deal of energy into building a camera system to design cut scenes and custom camera segments. In order to make this camera system fully customizable, an additional scripting system was designed to create and manage these segments (along with a plethora of other supporting systems to properly manage the camera).
Other Improvements
The whole of the engine has undergone a performance optimization pass and now runs roughly 15% faster on my test machines. Camera shake and stutter issues (in certain situations) have been identified and polished out. A few new scripting systems have been designed to help manage quest building, camera sequences and event timing. I finally designed an in game text - script editor that allows me to write and test the scripts on the fly. Pretty exciting!
Thanks for checking in and I hope to have more news soon!
