Hello everyone!👋

I hope your week went well.

I know I've been quiet on the teasers and updates front for a while and I apologize- so much to do to have great foundations and optimize all my assets and gamepaly code for the game! I used the past months to prepared most of the optimization and be sure that the mold of the game will allow me to scale up some systems in an efficient way (building, AI, level design). I was focused on making the game run as well as possible, trying to target older builds as well as offering more recent techs for the newer ones (DLSS, FSR, Frame Generation, Xess).

The next weeks/months will be really exciting as I'll have a lot more to show in 2024 now that I'm entering the real "visual" part of building the game.

I just posted a news update to Patreon with more details, viewable by all, with some new images and other news- so check it out!

At the moment, I have removed the tiers as I'll be reworking them next week to offer some new ones that will be oriented on more exclusive news content (dev logs, screenshots, videos) additionally to the news I'll share for everyone on Steam and socials.

I'll keep you posted very soon! 🍻

Have a great weekend!

Hi everyone!

I hope you're all doing well.

I have been progressing a lot for the past month. I've been delayed on some of my mechanics that I wanted to polish and optimize a lot more, such as the building system. I'm trying to get a good performance while players can still build a thousand of stuff on screen. This is hard but really worth it in the long run.

It's also taking a lot longer to optimize the levels in an efficient way, so your GPU doesn't die while playing. My goal is that the game can run at least smoothly on former GPUS, without DLSS on, which is really a challenging part while trying to keep everything realistic. But I know I'll get there!

I've been playing a lot with Unreal Engine 5 features recently and will offer the choice to unable a lot of really performance-heavy options such as Nanite and Lumen for players who cannot afford more recent GPUs. But don't worry, all the recent techs will be there (DLSS 3, Ray Tracing, Nanite, Lumen).

Here are two really short sneak peeks at the beach and the water effect I've been working on for the past week.

Have a great week and enjoy playing other games in the meantime!
