Here’s a big update, as quite a lot has changed since last time!
Goodbye IK System:
Due to an ever-increasing number of problems, we’re saying goodbye to our IK system for the time being. This means:
- We’re leaving the full-body model behind until we’ve found a better system
- Players who are sitting or standing only need to set their mode once in the lobby and will automatically be adjusted to the correct height. No more calibration required
- We have completely new hands, so everything related to them has been revamped.
- The new face can now blink, reliably display various emotions (via the quick menu) and move its mouth when speaking
In exchange for the legs, however, you’ll be getting this for the first time:
Player customisation!
In the lobby, you can already have a go with the first prototype of player customisation:
- Mix your own personal skin tone from two different base shades, with every shade in between
- Hair, beard and eye colours are completely customisable. Full HSL control!
- Give your eyes a cool look with a selection of iris patterns!
- Various hairstyles AND beards are available
- Dye your clothes in four different colours!
For now, I’m providing you with one outfit, and a new one will follow with every subsequent update :)
A number of other issues have been addressed and, hopefully, fixed:
- The lag issue in Naleca should now be resolved
- Players spawning below the map appear to have been fixed
- Global magic sounds now remain within a specific radius
- Kovari is now located on your right wrist for easier use
- Kovari should now disappear when you log out
- Fireball spell available!
