IMPROVED VISUALS OF WEATHER ELEMENTS
As development has progressed, we’ve had a goal to improve the way that the players see the storm systems and elements. The Unity 2021 update allows us to have massive tornadoes naturally lit by the position of the sun, and have lightning strikes cast high resolution shadows in the world.
HIGH QUALITY GROUND TEXTURES
With a world as big as OUTBRK’s (625km²), there’s going to be a ton of ground to cover, literally! We’ve begun the next pass of improvements to the world and along with that and the Unity update comes higher quality ground textures. Here are 6 of the 28 different ground textures that will make up the terrain of OUTBRK.
These improvements to the world will help each biome feel different from the last while being gentle on performance for players.
IMPROVEMENT ON CAR ACCESSORIES
In last month’s newsletter, we shared some work in progress on our mobile mesonets. Following some feedback by users, we created a new version with more updated instruments. Here is our current version :
STORM SCENARIOS - WE NEED YOUR HELP!
With work on several of the critical game elements nearing completion, our team is getting ready to identify a broader range of scenarios to integrate into OUTBRK. So far, this process required a good bit of time, so we’ve limited integrating scenarios in our development version and while we have a short list of events now - we’ll be looking to our community for help compiling more scenarios. We know our diverse community will have some iconic chase days in mind - and we’ll be looking at bringing some of those to OUTBRK! Make sure to join our Discord where all of this will take place. We'll have a text channel with instructions in the coming weeks!
As always, stay up to date with the game’s development on our public Trello planning page!
