Development Update #1
Added 2024-03-07 12:03:20 +0000 UTCThis is the first official development update for beta decay!
Binoculars
A fun new / nostalgic looking feature. Binoculars can be equipped to provide a visual zoom and range finder (meters). Since beta decay is low poly and pixelated by nature, binoculars are extremely beneficial to spot threats that may blend in at far distances.
AI Formation Logic and Positions.
The end goal is for players to command a crew and other individuals within their crew. Part of commanding includes various follow formations such as: Line, Column, and Vee. Currently AI Players will follow behind the player in a column formation.
Player Equipment Physics
All equipment and weapons that are visually attached to the player are attached by physics. Weapons, and backpacks will jiggle around during the movement. This puts some weight and realism on the player motion and gives a better feel.

Comments
This is a major gameplay component. There wont be traditional menus/ui for inventory. It will be a bit more interactive with physical objects attached to the body. (All ammo pouches, grenades, items, etc.)

2024-04-09 11:26:52 +0000 UTCI love realism when it comes to inventory, being able to see what I have on me and feel it makes it way more aesthetic when trying to look badass and feel like a soldier or your profession.

2024-04-09 10:52:40 +0000 UTCAlways great to hear your feedback ! :) There will be an interesting blend of dense industrial city streets, networks of tunnels within the planet terrain to hazardous surface terrain, but all fitting a common dystopian theme.
