We're running into problems in this regard because we don't have access to Unity's source code. Working on a few ways to get the efficiency up. New turrets are in, along with new materials. A couple of other things (hint: things that bring balance to the game against all that firepower mentioned above) The terrain structure has been improved with valleys and canyons and giant arches and caves and and distant fog and volumetric clouds in some places. We've started working on the town building system. Currently working on getting more missions into the game for about 4 new main story NPCs. Rivers and lakes are in and they look pretty nice. We're currently working on getting the LOD system to display stuff players build on LOD 1 and beyond, so you'll be able to see that house you made 1km out. Trading of creations is already done, so you'll be able to swap whatever you create with other people over the net. We're looking at how to make plasma material for lightsa.er, laser swords. We're even considering putting in vertical launched missiles.haha. Vehicle creation is now looking really good, we have controlled mounted turrets, ai turrets, and front mounted turrets. This should make a lot of the animations much more efficient and better. Lots of progress on moving the entire animation system into the new Unity animation system mechanim. Here's an update on how we're progressing on Alpha 0.5. Hey everyone, happy new year! After a short break, we're back working hard on Planet Explorers.
