We’ve also added a new type of cave system, redone our waterfalls, and have focused on having the entire region be more of an “environmental” puzzle for you to solve. This new region has also been a test-bed of sorts, for a new approach to how we create our environments, including new rocks and more varied tree density. Our goal with this new region is to create an environment that doesn’t have a single human-made shelter on it - so, even more rugged and isolated than Timberwolf Mountain with its lonely Mountaineer’s Hut. New approach to landscape layout and tree density helps keep visual interest while forcing players to keep close eye on the horizon. River Valley features new rock formations with much steeper verticals. New Region: “River Valley” (placeholder name)
Keep in mind that each of these entries is at a different stage of development and while some of these things will end up in our next Survival Mode update, some will need further polish and tuning before they are ready. Let me cherry-pick a few things to share with you at this point. This is all part of our commitment to continue building on the foundation of The Long Dark’s Survival Mode, while also working on new features and content for our Episode One and Two “Redux” (which I first discussed here: ) which is solidifying the foundation for Episode Three and onward. Some have been more “housekeeping” related, like dealing with Unity updates, general performance improvements (as the game continues to get bigger and bigger and our scenes more complex, we have to continuously optimize to make sure performance remains above an acceptable threshold), integrating new tools and features into our development pipeline, and adding new people to our growing development team.
Since the last time I updated you in February, the team’s been working hard on a variety of things.
