This aligns with our focus on creating more opportunities for players to both defend and attack valuable targets outside of caves. We recognize the value players placed on the element income provided by Gachas and hope the Pegomastax’s new ability, reduced spacing requirements between Gacha pairs, and increased element rewards from bosses across all maps, will help offset the increased risk of maintaining Gacha farms. Unofficial server owners can override this with “ForceGachaUnhappyInCaves=false” in the GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings] Added a config for unofficial server owners to override the cooldown for Armadoggo to reappear after taking fatal damage (in seconds), default is set to 1 hour. Must be greater than 0. “ArmadoggoDeathCooldown=3600” in the GameUserSettings.ini under [ServerSettings] Additional Server related params/config options for using a “usestore” save system which combines player profiles, tribe data, and the world save into one single file. Note: This is not new, but not previously documented to our knowledge and what we use on our Official Network. -converttostore (imports the current player and tribe data into the .ark save file) Run with -converttostore -usestore and then the next time you relaunch, you should not need -converttostore as all the data will be integrated. Important to note: .arkprofile & .arktribe files are not automatically deleted after conversion so should be deleted manually if you want to save storage space. -usestore (utilizes a different saving method that stores player and tribe data inside of save files) Important to note: when rolling back save data simply do as normal and all the arkprofile and arktribe data will be in sync with the backup save already.Bug Fixes Fixed Bronto’s feet sometimes deforming when attacking targets from behind Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause players to disconnect when accessing the inventory of a creature that has a rider Adjusted the depth at which Basilo will start taking damage on The Center to fix them taking damage when at the surface at some locations Fixed Karkinos being blocked by small creatures Fixed creatures being carried in Karkinos’ right claw causing issues for movement Fixed Megalosaurus gaining sleep debt when awake on Aberration Fixed Treasure maps not showing the treasure ping location correctly Fixed Treasure maps sometimes not activating Fixed Treasure chests preventing inventory access of objects above it Fixed Reaper King babies not damaging players correctly Fixed an issue that caused different carrier traits to add their weight reduction to each other Fixed Archelon cloning costs being too high Fixed Thorny Dragon’s audio attenuation Fixed Chibi Bulbdog’s Pumpkin being too large Fixed Fire Wyvern wearing a Bone costume having invisible fire breath Fixed Bone Stego costume jaw clipping Fixed a KB&M issue on PlayStation that prevented items from being dragged in the inventory Fixed Raptor Pin animation not displaying for some clients Fixed being unable to unequip armor while near the inventory slot cap Fixed player character’s legs bending oddly when on rafts Fixed Photo Mode camera jitter when attached to players & creatures Fixed Parasaur’s turret mode VFX not persisting when leaving render Fixed an issue with Aberration’s supply crate beam VFX Fixed Zeppelin spawning issue while using some languages Fixed saddle clipping with Gallimimus’ saddle Fixed a typo in Spear’s description Fixed some text discrepancies for creature traits Fixed several false positive anti-mesh locations on The Center Fixed several map holes on The Center Fixed several server crashes Fixed several meshing exploits We've kicked off final steps/preparations to release the update containing Extinction & Wasteland War. This was a decision we weighed carefully as it will be only on PC and PlayStation at this point in time. Xbox and Windows users will unfortunately need to wait for the update to clear certification. Currently, the certification process is taking 4x longer than the usual turnaround time. Microsoft is actively investigating our issue, but at this time, we don't have an ETA yet as to when our submission will be approved nor do we have much insight into the reason for the delay. As we want to ensure we have the ability to do more patches post-release, we're unable to hold back the release any further but as soon as we become unblocked on the Microsoft platforms, we'll immediately release the update for our Xbox and Windows players. In order to mitigate the potential damage to players who can't join, we'll have item and dino uploads from Extinction temporarily disabled until all platforms are in parity. We expect to go live shortly.View the full article

Hey hunters, How’s it going? We’re here today to share with you the Monster Hunter Wilds – Pre-Launch Community Update! Since November’s Open Beta Test, the team have been busy reviewing the feedback we’d received and working hard to further improve the quality of the full game in-time for launch day. Now that we’re ready to share the details with you, including improvements and adjustments to performance, weapons, game mechanics, multiplayer functionality and more, we felt how better to hear it than directly from the team! Below you’ll be able to watch our Pre-Launch Community Update broadcast, where the Community Team are joined by Monster Hunter Wilds director, Yuya Tokuda and his translator, Patrick, who go into all the juicy details. The event comes in at a little over an hour and is packed full of important info that we’ve been keen to share with you! We’ve also included a text summary of the content below the video if you’d like a quicker read instead, however for the fully comprehensive update, featuring all of the content, video clips, context and discussions, we’d recommend watching the broadcast! Our Update To You, The Community! The Monster Hunter Wilds – Pre-Launch Community Update Please note, everything in this broadcast, as well as the summary text below is not final, representing work in progress and is subject to change. Also, the content revealed during the event does not cover everything the team is currently working on as we approach launch. The Summary! For those of you who prefer a written format, below you’ll find a summary of a lot of the points that were discussed during the event. Once again, please keep in mind that the slides and explanations below aren’t as in-depth as our broadcast, missing both the frequent video clip examples and director Yuya Tokuda’s commentary. But, they are in chronological order, so if you find a particular topic you’d like more info about, you’ll be able to find it pretty quickly in the broadcast if you take a look! Performance Performance was the first topic we addressed, knowing this one to be an important one for the community. We covered all platforms, including PC, which you’ll see alongside one of the consoles below: What does this mean in relation to Steam? The team are working on improving the performance of the Steam version, including frame rate, even when using the same equipment specs that you may have used in the Open Beta Test, although it may vary depending on your setup. We’re also keen to share a very recent development that the team may be able to lower the recommended graphics board specs a little bit more! Once we’ve got accurate information and can lock this in, we’ll release any info on our official website and let you know! We also saw that some of you were concerned as to whether your rig would be powerful enough to run Wilds when it launches, so to hopefully help those of you with questions out, we shared that the team are currently considering releasing a benchmark tool, if possible. As above, we’ll keep you looped in on any further details here. Hitstop & Friendly Fire Hitstop, making your weapons and overall impact of the game’s weapons feel powerful. During the beta we saw comments that players felt could have a little more “oomph”, so the team looked into it and made some tweaks! Weapons will now feel more responsive when landing attacks, especially with big moves and finishers for many weapons types. Director Tokuda shared that the reason for Hitstop initially being less impactful in the beta was due to feedback we’d received from players outside of Japan when World launched was that it was too strong / weighty, however it seems we had the opposite with the Wilds beta! He was deeply moved to think that the weighty action that is the hallmark of Monster Hunter has now been widely accepted around the world! There’s even an example of this in the broadcast with the Great Sword’s True Charged Slash unleashing a truly meaty chop! Regarding Friendly Fire, the team, even before the beta, had decided they wanted to tone it down some of its effects, even though this wasn’t fully reflected in the beta build. Actions such as the Gunlance’s Wyvern Fire and the Hammer’s Upswing have had their impact on other hunters toned down. The Gunlance’s Wyvern Fire was already toned down in this regard during the Open Beta Test, but the Hammer’s Upswing adjustments will be live in the launch version of the game. So, in a nutshell, whilst you won’t send allies flying, they’ll still be briefly knocked off their feet. The team would like to avoid novice players unintentionally giving their friends and fellow hunters big bumps without knowing, potentially causing some players to avoid multiplayer due to the disruptions these actions caused them in a hunt. We hope this change will bring new and experienced hunters together to have a smoother experience in multiplayer. Monster Area Movement Something we encountered ourselves and saw within the community was that monsters seemed to be moving locations very often during the beta. This wasn’t intentional and was actually a glitch where some points were not fully adjusted, leading the monsters to change areas more frequently than they should. This has now been adjusted in the launch version of the game, so depending on how the hunt goes, you can expect the change frequency to be closer to that of Monster Hunter: World! Having said that, monsters belonging to the upper echelon of the ecosystem often have nests away from your base camp, deep in the field. So, when tackling these monsters, they may still move across the locale significantly, especially when in a weakened state. But in these cases, if you’ve placed your Pop-Up Camps in suitable locations that corresponds to the habitat of the monster you’d like to hunt, you can simply fast travel to get there ahead of time. Weapon Adjustments – Overview Good news, hunters, multiple weapons have already received adjustments for launch, with Insect Glaive, Lance, Switch Axe and Sword & Shield being the weapon types you’ll notice the most differences with at launch. The Open Beta Test also had a limited range of attributes and skills available, but the full game has been adjusted to balance for the entire content, including endgame! P.S. The following weapons mentioned all have example video clips in the event broadcast! Weapon Adjustments – Insect Glaive Out of all the weapons, it’d be fair to say the Insect Glaive has been receiving the most attention, so let’s start here: Even prior to the Open Beta Test, from the gameplay hands-on opportunities at Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show, we saw that Insect Glaive users were disappointed that the weapon no longer had its iconic Vaulting Dance. Whilst we didn’t have time to add it back in the beta version, it’ll be there in all its glory come launch! Some extra tweaks have also been made to give Insect Glaive players a few more options to play with, as you can see in the image above! Weapon Adjustments – Lance The Lance has received some adjustments to give more control to the player over their available options in the hunt, allowing Lance users to further express their weapon’s identity. Director Tokuda stated that with the Lance, he wanted to give it more options than in past titles, using a variety of guards and movements. However, in doing so it removed the option for Lance users to wait and see what the monster does and react accordingly, narrowing the actions open to them and making it feel a bit monotonous to play. But fear not, that has been changed! The Counter Thrust from past games has returned as a Charge Counter whilst guarding. You’ll also be able choose a counterattack, such as Power Guard, which charge level changes depending on the power of the guarded attack, as well as another new action which can be done from guarding or Power Guard! The team have also made further adjustments to expand the range of what you can do whilst following up on what you could do in past games, such as removing unintuitive chained moves and speeding up the cancellation timing of guard dashes that are chained during combos. We’re feeling good about this as Kaname Fujioka, Executive Director & Art Director on Monster Hunter Wilds, who is an avid Lance main, has been telling us it feels much better now. Weapon Adjustments – Switch Axe Overall, the Switch Axe has been significantly changed from what you may have experienced in the Open Beta Test. In a nutshell, the basic loop of charging the gauge in Axe Mode and releasing it in Sword Mode is the same, but we’ve alleviated some of the difficulty in of Charging in Axe Mode. Plus, Sword Mode has been adjusted to be more powerful and responsive to match its gauge consumption. You’ll really notice this with Full Release Slash in both its feel and power, as is appropriate for a finisher move! We’ve also made the weapon easier to handle by adjusting moves that were difficult to use, such as increasing the usability of Counter Rising Slash in Sword Mode, as well as shorting the animation lock after a Focus Strike. Weapon Adjustments – Sword & Shield The Sword & Shield has also seen some major adjustments, including the overall feel of the sword. The first major point for this weapon is that Rising Slash can now be performed whilst guarding. In addition, there’s been extensive modifications made to the basic combos with the triangle / Y button, such as Chop and Side Slashes, whilst moving, and to Perfect Rush to improve response, damage, hitstop and more! Weapon Adjustments – Other Weapons For the other weapon types, we’ll also be broadly adjusting their values in anticipation for endgame content, taking into account their individual parameters and skills. As part of this process, we plan to make adjustments to areas that were not balanced as intended, or where unintended weapon type disparities were created. What does this mean? Well, adjustments are being made with an emphasis on whether the concept and vision of each weapon type is as intended, with our direction being to raise the low, rather than lower the high, whilst also eliminating the weapon type disparity as much as possible. The Bow is one such example of this, where we saw the damage output of the weapon being heavily biased towards Tracers and Focus Strike attacks. This has now been adjusted by increasing the power of attacks such as normal shots and Arc Shots, the various transitions and responses being improved to ensure that other actions can also deal meaningful damage. Ultimately, giving more varied gameplay styles for the Bow user! As you can see in the image, we’ve also changed the behaviour of Focus Strike for the Bow so that it locks onto wounds one by one, instead of all of them at once. Much like the other weapons, there’s a video clip for this in the broadcast, so feel free to go check it out! Overall, we’ve made adjustments to all weapons with a view of broadening their appeal and making them a good choice for players and their preferred playstyles, and not just making them less powerful. Skill Builds! Speaking of weapons, we’ve got more information on their new role within building your skills and set! Until now, only armour has been equipped with skills, but with Wilds and the ability to take two different weapons into the hunt, it was inevitable that the wearer would have to choose a weapon type that matched their armour, or face difficulties to match their armour with the right weapon type. So, to address the issue of skill builds having wasted skills, or losing effectiveness from a weapon switch, skills that traditionally are tied to weapons, such as “Attack” and “Guard” are now attached to weapons instead of armour, with armour now focusing on supplementary effects, such as “Speed Eating” etc instead. The skills you find on your weapons don’t disappear when you upgrade them either, quite the opposite in-fact! Upgrading your weapons can enhance the existing skill’s effect, increase the total number of skills it has, or even both! But wait, there’s even more! The later the weapon, the more slots you’ll have for decorations to attach more weapon skills, allowing you to really build the skills to your liking. We’ve got some pictures below for you see it in action: One skill! Two skills! A little more before we finish! That pretty much wraps up our swift summary of some of the content included in our Pre-Launch Community Update broadcast, but if you’d like to know even more about the topics we’ve shared, including seeing what we’ve discussed in action with various video clips straight from the Dev Team, make sure to check out the link to the full event at the top of the post! If that’s not enough, we also discuss the following topics: That face your hunter pulled when holding a shield. More features for multiplayer lobbies, including Squad & Private lobbies. Chat & Sticker controls in public lobbies. Adjustments to the HUD display. Will there be another Open Beta Test? And even more!Plus, to wrap things up there’s a message to you, the amazing Monster Hunter community, straight from director Tokuda. If what you’ve seen today has you pleased and you’d like to support us ahead of launch, pre-orders are live here on Steam and come with a bonus.

Hey hunters, How’s it going? We’re here today to share with you the Monster Hunter Wilds – Pre-Launch Community Update! Since November’s Open Beta Test, the team have been busy reviewing the feedback we’d received and working hard to further improve the quality of the full game in-time for launch day. Now that we’re ready to share the details with you, including improvements and adjustments to performance, weapons, game mechanics, multiplayer functionality and more, we felt how better to hear it than directly from the team! Below you’ll be able to watch our Pre-Launch Community Update broadcast, where the Community Team are joined by Monster Hunter Wilds director, Yuya Tokuda and his translator, Patrick, who go into all the juicy details. The event comes in at a little over an hour and is packed full of important info that we’ve been keen to share with you! We’ve also included a text summary of the content below the video if you’d like a quicker read instead, however for the fully comprehensive update, featuring all of the content, video clips, context and discussions, we’d recommend watching the broadcast! Our Update To You, The Community! The Monster Hunter Wilds – Pre-Launch Community Update Please note, everything in this broadcast, as well as the summary text below is not final, representing work in progress and is subject to change. Also, the content revealed during the event does not cover everything the team is currently working on as we approach launch. The Summary! For those of you who prefer a written format, below you’ll find a summary of a lot of the points that were discussed during the event. Once again, please keep in mind that the slides and explanations below aren’t as in-depth as our broadcast, missing both the frequent video clip examples and director Yuya Tokuda’s commentary. But, they are in chronological order, so if you find a particular topic you’d like more info about, you’ll be able to find it pretty quickly in the broadcast if you take a look! Performance Performance was the first topic we addressed, knowing this one to be an important one for the community. We covered all platforms, including PC, which you’ll see alongside one of the consoles below: What does this mean in relation to Steam? The team are working on improving the performance of the Steam version, including frame rate, even when using the same equipment specs that you may have used in the Open Beta Test, although it may vary depending on your setup. We’re also keen to share a very recent development that the team may be able to lower the recommended graphics board specs a little bit more! Once we’ve got accurate information and can lock this in, we’ll release any info on our official website and let you know! We also saw that some of you were concerned as to whether your rig would be powerful enough to run Wilds when it launches, so to hopefully help those of you with questions out, we shared that the team are currently considering releasing a benchmark tool, if possible. As above, we’ll keep you looped in on any further details here. Hitstop & Friendly Fire Hitstop, making your weapons and overall impact of the game’s weapons feel powerful. During the beta we saw comments that players felt could have a little more “oomph”, so the team looked into it and made some tweaks! Weapons will now feel more responsive when landing attacks, especially with big moves and finishers for many weapons types. Director Tokuda shared that the reason for Hitstop initially being less impactful in the beta was due to feedback we’d received from players outside of Japan when World launched was that it was too strong / weighty, however it seems we had the opposite with the Wilds beta! He was deeply moved to think that the weighty action that is the hallmark of Monster Hunter has now been widely accepted around the world! There’s even an example of this in the broadcast with the Great Sword’s True Charged Slash unleashing a truly meaty chop! Regarding Friendly Fire, the team, even before the beta, had decided they wanted to tone it down some of its effects, even though this wasn’t fully reflected in the beta build. Actions such as the Gunlance’s Wyvern Fire and the Hammer’s Upswing have had their impact on other hunters toned down. The Gunlance’s Wyvern Fire was already toned down in this regard during the Open Beta Test, but the Hammer’s Upswing adjustments will be live in the launch version of the game. So, in a nutshell, whilst you won’t send allies flying, they’ll still be briefly knocked off their feet. The team would like to avoid novice players unintentionally giving their friends and fellow hunters big bumps without knowing, potentially causing some players to avoid multiplayer due to the disruptions these actions caused them in a hunt. We hope this change will bring new and experienced hunters together to have a smoother experience in multiplayer. Monster Area Movement Something we encountered ourselves and saw within the community was that monsters seemed to be moving locations very often during the beta. This wasn’t intentional and was actually a glitch where some points were not fully adjusted, leading the monsters to change areas more frequently than they should. This has now been adjusted in the launch version of the game, so depending on how the hunt goes, you can expect the change frequency to be closer to that of Monster Hunter: World! Having said that, monsters belonging to the upper echelon of the ecosystem often have nests away from your base camp, deep in the field. So, when tackling these monsters, they may still move across the locale significantly, especially when in a weakened state. But in these cases, if you’ve placed your Pop-Up Camps in suitable locations that corresponds to the habitat of the monster you’d like to hunt, you can simply fast travel to get there ahead of time. Weapon Adjustments – Overview Good news, hunters, multiple weapons have already received adjustments for launch, with Insect Glaive, Lance, Switch Axe and Sword & Shield being the weapon types you’ll notice the most differences with at launch. The Open Beta Test also had a limited range of attributes and skills available, but the full game has been adjusted to balance for the entire content, including endgame! P.S. The following weapons mentioned all have example video clips in the event broadcast! Weapon Adjustments – Insect Glaive Out of all the weapons, it’d be fair to say the Insect Glaive has been receiving the most attention, so let’s start here: Even prior to the Open Beta Test, from the gameplay hands-on opportunities at Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show, we saw that Insect Glaive users were disappointed that the weapon no longer had its iconic Vaulting Dance. Whilst we didn’t have time to add it back in the beta version, it’ll be there in all its glory come launch! Some extra tweaks have also been made to give Insect Glaive players a few more options to play with, as you can see in the image above! Weapon Adjustments – Lance The Lance has received some adjustments to give more control to the player over their available options in the hunt, allowing Lance users to further express their weapon’s identity. Director Tokuda stated that with the Lance, he wanted to give it more options than in past titles, using a variety of guards and movements. However, in doing so it removed the option for Lance users to wait and see what the monster does and react accordingly, narrowing the actions open to them and making it feel a bit monotonous to play. But fear not, that has been changed! The Counter Thrust from past games has returned as a Charge Counter whilst guarding. You’ll also be able choose a counterattack, such as Power Guard, which charge level changes depending on the power of the guarded attack, as well as another new action which can be done from guarding or Power Guard! The team have also made further adjustments to expand the range of what you can do whilst following up on what you could do in past games, such as removing unintuitive chained moves and speeding up the cancellation timing of guard dashes that are chained during combos. We’re feeling good about this as Kaname Fujioka, Executive Director & Art Director on Monster Hunter Wilds, who is an avid Lance main, has been telling us it feels much better now. Weapon Adjustments – Switch Axe Overall, the Switch Axe has been significantly changed from what you may have experienced in the Open Beta Test. In a nutshell, the basic loop of charging the gauge in Axe Mode and releasing it in Sword Mode is the same, but we’ve alleviated some of the difficulty in of Charging in Axe Mode. Plus, Sword Mode has been adjusted to be more powerful and responsive to match its gauge consumption. You’ll really notice this with Full Release Slash in both its feel and power, as is appropriate for a finisher move! We’ve also made the weapon easier to handle by adjusting moves that were difficult to use, such as increasing the usability of Counter Rising Slash in Sword Mode, as well as shorting the animation lock after a Focus Strike. Weapon Adjustments – Sword & Shield The Sword & Shield has also seen some major adjustments, including the overall feel of the sword. The first major point for this weapon is that Rising Slash can now be performed whilst guarding. In addition, there’s been extensive modifications made to the basic combos with the triangle / Y button, such as Chop and Side Slashes, whilst moving, and to Perfect Rush to improve response, damage, hitstop and more! Weapon Adjustments – Other Weapons For the other weapon types, we’ll also be broadly adjusting their values in anticipation for endgame content, taking into account their individual parameters and skills. As part of this process, we plan to make adjustments to areas that were not balanced as intended, or where unintended weapon type disparities were created. What does this mean? Well, adjustments are being made with an emphasis on whether the concept and vision of each weapon type is as intended, with our direction being to raise the low, rather than lower the high, whilst also eliminating the weapon type disparity as much as possible. The Bow is one such example of this, where we saw the damage output of the weapon being heavily biased towards Tracers and Focus Strike attacks. This has now been adjusted by increasing the power of attacks such as normal shots and Arc Shots, the various transitions and responses being improved to ensure that other actions can also deal meaningful damage. Ultimately, giving more varied gameplay styles for the Bow user! As you can see in the image, we’ve also changed the behaviour of Focus Strike for the Bow so that it locks onto wounds one by one, instead of all of them at once. Much like the other weapons, there’s a video clip for this in the broadcast, so feel free to go check it out! Overall, we’ve made adjustments to all weapons with a view of broadening their appeal and making them a good choice for players and their preferred playstyles, and not just making them less powerful. Skill Builds! Speaking of weapons, we’ve got more information on their new role within building your skills and set! Until now, only armour has been equipped with skills, but with Wilds and the ability to take two different weapons into the hunt, it was inevitable that the wearer would have to choose a weapon type that matched their armour, or face difficulties to match their armour with the right weapon type. So, to address the issue of skill builds having wasted skills, or losing effectiveness from a weapon switch, skills that traditionally are tied to weapons, such as “Attack” and “Guard” are now attached to weapons instead of armour, with armour now focusing on supplementary effects, such as “Speed Eating” etc instead. The skills you find on your weapons don’t disappear when you upgrade them either, quite the opposite in-fact! Upgrading your weapons can enhance the existing skill’s effect, increase the total number of skills it has, or even both! But wait, there’s even more! The later the weapon, the more slots you’ll have for decorations to attach more weapon skills, allowing you to really build the skills to your liking.

Filipe - Lead ProgrammerAt the beginning of this month, I focused on fixing crashes and various bugs for the latest public patch while simultaneously working on the Allosaurus and its unique mechanics. Most of its basic systems are already functional, though some key animations, particularly those tied to its special ability, are still in production. We also made notable progress on the Tyrannosaurus, mostly visual fixes and enhancements. This includes smoother animation blending and better integration with its mechanics to help translate visuals due to its size. Additionally, fruit trees themselves will now be edible, not just their individual fruits. This provides a more practical food source for larger creatures at the cost. Consuming the tree significantly reduces future food availability, as a tree is necessary for fruit to grow back. Finally, I added the gastrolith system. All playables can now consume gastroliths, which decrease the food contents of your stomach at a faster rate so that you can better manage your nutrition and diet combinations. Ariel - ProgrammerThis month my main focus was the maiasaura. The animal is getting close to completion and it’s in full QA testing now, so new issues kept popping up for me to fix. Luckily nothing major was broken and we were also able to set up its stats now that everything is in place. Overall I feel satisfied with how the dinosaur turned out. Originally I was a bit wary of how we were going to support the two different stances, but it worked out quite well. When not working on the maiasaura or bug fixes I had some time to start looking at my next task, which involves the pteranodon. I always enjoy working on the more agile animals, so I was quite excited about it. This won’t be part of the upcoming update as it’s in early stages, but you can expect some nice little additions. Wedge - Sound Designer This month I’ve been making my way through a large majority of adult Maia’s supplementary vocal sounds with only its pounced, pinned, blind and female court vocal sounds remaining. After these are complete, I will be altering these vocals for its juvenile stage. I’ve also done another pass on the adult animations adding short vocal sounds where necessary as well as more breath and foley sounds. I’ve overhauled and simplified the way we handle reverb for calls at a distance, providing more accurate control on the amount of reverb the sound is sent to over distance. Within this overhaul I made changes to the reverb effect, adjusting decay rates, dampening etc. affecting how it sounds for each size category to be more appropriate and more importantly prominent. I also added an additional send to a multitap delay effect to simulate echo as it gets further away. The combination of all these changes should have a significant effect on making vocals more accurate and help the player identify the distance from a sound source. I’ve also replaced the distant stomp layer of large footstep sounds and made some adjustments to attenuation and volume balance for the large footsteps. VisualTech48 - Environmental ArtistThis month has been all about the guts. Well not those guts, but the G.U.T.S. Most of my month has been focusing on the new shader Ikarop did and putting it to its true test with a big variation of materials, and applying them all to our new G.U.T.S, ranging from the already seen HUB#1 and a big variation of tunnel types that will be used with it. I’ve started from the entrance towards the inner pieces, which are semi modular due to the PLA system. You’ll see variants as you go through them so it's not bland or repetitive. I tried to keep it clean so Jace, or anyone that wants to build on top of the system, can do so with ease. Creators can not only change what is in said tunnels, but can easily make their own path and storylines within by just changing a kit’s piece from dead-ends to further tunnels and room connections. Overall the direction grants us a really nice structure for expanding the tunnels, (literally) in every way. To top it off here are some development images for you to look at. Till next month. Cheers. Tapwing - 2D Artist We wanted to give two of the most famous dinosaurs their own spotlight piece of a 1-on-1 encounter. They were designed to mirror each-other and reflect the opposite outcome of a brutal fight where neither escapes unscathed. Posing both animals was an interesting challenge with the Trike victory painting, because in early versions, the trike looked as if it were guarding the Tyrannosaurus body as opposed to standing on top of its attacker after finally bringing it down. Changing the arm position to be less possessive looking, sprawled out overtone the rex and adding a little more fear to the triceratops face helped bring the tone back to where it should be. The Rex victory version of the painting had its own hurdle to work through. With the overlapping nature of the pose, lighting was going to need extra attention to make sure the outline of the Rex head didn’t disappear into the shadows. For fellow illustrators: Plan out your lighting thoroughly in advance, you’ll save yourself a lot of headache and course corrections down the line! hypno - QA LeadThis month QA has been focused almost entirely on Maiasaura, ensuring that it works with all of our existing systems. As we add more species to the game, as does the number of possible issues between them, so it was important for us this month to check it against absolutely everything. I can say with confidence now that we’ve checked it against all abilities in the game and they all work as intended. Deinosuchus can lunge and drown it, Ceratosaurus bite applies bacteria correctly, Dilophosaurus hallucinations can spawn and attack the Maiasaura, etc. As you can see, the number of tests quickly stack up as we add new species; so, we’ve been working on streamlining this process within QA to make it much more efficient in the future. To give you a video example of an interaction that was bugged with the Maiasaura, here’s what happened when an Omniraptor was bucked off of one: In case it wasn’t obvious from the video, the Omniraptor would shrink dramatically in size each time they were bucked off! This wasn’t as straightforward as that though, as this issue only showed on the Omniraptor’s client, causing them to “jitter” for all other players. As well as interactions with other species, the Maiasaura also of course came with a plethora of its own problems. Here’s how it looked if it grazed while turning: We have also been testing the other new additions to the game. For example, Gastroliths are being introduced in the next update, allowing users to reduce their hunger faster. I’d like to give a big thank you to all of those that have been continuing to report issues to our community bug report form (https://forms.gle/ufXDnxNfhRhZ7CCi8). Without them, we wouldn’t catch a lot of the problems that exist in the game. One report that we did come across from a report a while back was the aptly named “fish prison” issue – players that were swallowed by an elite fish would sometimes never be allowed to respawn, becoming stuck following the fish until forced to relog: Lastly, QA has been playtesting the Maiasaura to make sure it feels fun to play as. We’re aiming for it to be a fairly tanky, swift animal that deals moderate damage in favour of better crowd control capabilities. The growth is set up in a way so that it quickly grows to its subadult stage, then slows down as it progresses towards a full adult. It is also able to quickly switch stances between being quadruped and biped, allowing it to adapt to various circumstances. My favourite ability is the “Shove”, which can be used while sprinting, allowing you to send smaller characters flying. I’m very much looking forward to getting this character into your hands very soon with a horde test, which we are aiming to push out within the next week. View the full article
