Here's the first visual representation of the Nomad Gathering. In the future, this gathering "style" will also change from time to time, from calm stuff like this to more extreme direction like fighting, drinking, fireworks etc. Nomad Gathering is an event that unlocks after a certain day (requires also good Nomad Reputation) and appears in some of the Area 05 map once a week.

Had a dream about moving 3D door handles (not really) and decided to betray my beloved static 2D photo texture handles after many years of long-lasting friendship. With moving 3D door handles, I think it's safe to assume that we are now entering the AAA-gaming space :)

Here's the first test weapon animation (WIP). Designing an "indie-friendly" FPS animation system is quite a challenging and slow process, but it is starting to look quite promising.

Here's a small clip from the customized billboard and shadow faking system that I ported to Godot yesterday. This solution plays a key role in optimizing dense forests and other possible large areas. The test area shown in the video is 1x1km in size.

The porting is progressing well. This week I started rebuilding the maps, added inertia system and created shaders for the weapon optics.

Not the most important feature of the game, but the atmosphere matters too. Public Demo 2 will have a few different instruments, custom songs and each instrument will have its own animation loop. Audio by Aki Knaappila Animation by Barry Bogs

Build 2 will have +200 new voice lines, so it's good time for another episode of Road to Vostok Language School focusing on Nomads :)

Usually once a month I allow myself to work on something experimental and fun even though it's not important for the current stage of the project. Since I haven't had time for these "developer fun days" for a while, I decided that today would be one of these. Here's some experimental terrain stuff that I did today: - Parallax mapping / depth gradients - Parallax self shadows Pretty "old school" tech by modern standards but visually quite stable and relatively cheap for rendering.

All weapon animations are now almost ready for the first Godot demo. Here's the latest with MP5. Excellent job Barry Bogs The last port update will come next week and after that I will start polishing the demo for Steam with this new game engine.

AI pathfinding, movement blending, player detection and many other important features were ported to Godot this week. The AI system was the last "scary" porting topic, the rest should be quite easy and quick to implement.

Here's a small preview of variable optics (LPVO's). There will be a few different types of these in the game and they will be extremely difficult to obtain. The main focus will be on fairly simple gear and weapons, since the goal is not to make a tactical "operator simulator".

Road to Vostok Final Demo (Next Fest Press Preview) is now available on Steam. If you have the "legacy" demo installed, you might wanna do a clean uninstall first and download the latest build after that. Good luck with your survival! ps. Tutorial is highly recommended :)

Here's few furniture system improvements for the early access. 1. Snapping Mode You can now activate snapping mode, which automatically aligns the furniture to the wanted surface and slides along that. You can still use the default "free-float" mode but this snapping basically makes it much easier to find the valid surface and keep the furniture sliding along that. 2. Furniture Stacking You can now also place furniture on top of each other and making stacks with different furniture. The downside of this is obviously floating furniture if you remove the bottom one, but benefits from this outweigh the downsides.

Here is a preview of the new attachment system and Arm-IK. This will be expanded a lot in the future, but I think this is a good start. #roadtovostok

Since the word "Dynamic" has been quite relevant lately with the development, now there's a perfect combo for the early access: - Dynamic TOD - Dynamic Weather - Dynamic Season (added today)

PIP-scopes have returned which means that in early access you can choose whether you want to use standard zoom or PIP / dual render method for the scopes.

Few new feature highlights from the upcoming early access: Event Calendar and Casette Player. Event calendar is basically world progression, where dynamic events start activating after certain amount of days have passed. Some events are fairly subtle while some have drastic impacts on the gameplay and difficulty. Casette player is a tool that can be used for listening item-based voice messages (lore related), real Finnish music and everything audio related. This is not for OST, but more like having small player-driven music moments while fishing and stuff like that :)
