Hello there!
During week 8 and 9 I have been working on a day to night cycle and a weather system.
This adds a lot to the immersion and will eventually have an effect on gameplay I've.





The weather system and day to night cycle in all it's glory :-)

I've added :

  • Day Night cycle
  • Atmosphere that reacts to the sun's position
  • Sun shafts
  • Volumetric/Dynamic Clouds that are affected by wind direction and wind strength
  • Wind that affects clouds, rain and vegetation motion
  • Dynamic rain
  • Various rain, wind and thunder sounds that correspond to intensity and distance
  • Lightning and Thunder

You can see it all in motion right here :

Feedback is appretiated! =)
See you next week!
mQe.

Hey there!

Just passing by to say that it look really good so far! Really love the effects you've implemented, It give a nice mood to the arshe desert of mars.

I have 2 question :

1) Does it really rain on mars? what the hell happen X) ?

2) What kind of game are aiming at ? Competitive MP with Run and gun + vehicule, something of more story telling type or maybe something else?
I'm really curious about this because you have a awsome start project right here...I would not really like if it become a simple MP shooter-like with nothing something special to it.

Anyway keep up the good work...Its really good so far ;) Keep us updated!

Hey! Thanks for the support! =)

1.Haha no of course not, this takes place on a terraformed mars but the process was far from complete when the humans were wiped out. You can read a brief summary of the story on the front page ;)

2.It will be competitive and it will be multiplayer. There will be some resource management, creation of structures and each map can be captured by each of the 3 factions. More info on the front page ;)
There's a whole bunch of more stuff that will be revealed as the development progresses =)

Oh lawd ! I should have read the front page first lol The story sound pretty interesting

The idea of territories is very interesting too! I'd love to see how you will expand on the ''map will only exist once'' idea.

Keep on progess :) !
