#DAYZ IMAGE MOD#

This meant that zombies in the mod were simply pawns, activated by players moving around. In the mod, this was dropped in favor of calculating visibility and target info on a “per player” approach. In the engine, AI is calculated on a “per agent” basis, with some caching for things like targets (shared target info, etc…). When we were developing the game we realized that in the time we had, we would need to work within the parameters of the AI already in the engine. Zombies have proven to be one of the most difficult to develop components of the game. While not a big change for users, possibly allows some more advanced systems to be implemented and better performance and less bugs.

Complete refactoring of the inventory system.

Redeveloped “action” system, replacing the mouse-wheel scroll action system.

Completely new animal AI that mirrors an actual animals behaviors.

True multithreading / multicore for servers and possibly clients.

Entirely new rendering system (allowing potential upgrades to DX10 or DX11, ports as well).

Some examples of future major changes coming as a result of this new focus: The new zombie pathfinding is a good example of this approach beginning to produce results. This had a severe short-term impact on our progress as our existing team had to devote time and resources to training and planning. This involved us drastically increasing the size of the team working on the game. I really like what I've played so far and I hope it won't be too long of a wait for others to try it: I don't want to be the only one dying horribly at the bottom of the sea.Our major focus has been on establishing the architecture, both in the team and in the game, in order to deliver best in the future. I nod knowingly, as if to say Yes, naturally, when you want to figure out a water simulation for one game you build an entirely new game.Īgain, there's no word when Torpedia will be available to play, and I can't even give you a link to look at apart from the RocketWerkz official site (opens in new tab). 'I wanted to get our water simulation better and I couldn't,' he said. A little sub within my big sub? That's some The Hunt For Red October stuff.Īs for how Torpedo came about in the first place, Hall told me it was due to his work on Stationeers. You can even fit your mobile base with a min-sub dock. The submarine build menu shows advanced machinery like uranium-fueled reactors, jet engines, escape pods, radar stations, and torpedo racks. I'm also keen to complete enough missions and find enough loot to build a bigger submarine, or maybe buy one at port: there are a few massive, three-level ships for sale. But with each death I learn something, and I'm confident I'll eventually live long enough to see how my crew member's personalities (they can have attributes like Greedy, Empathetic, or Psychopath) clash or agree with each other. And my wooden sub floods again after colliding with the seafloor, rupturing the hull and drowning my little dude before he can bail out the ship.

I send a diver to collect wood from a wreck and he's attacked by piranha. While out collecting seaweed, my sub slowly drifts down on top of my scuba diver, pinning him to the sea floor. I experience more horrible Barotrauma-like deaths (opens in new tab) in Torpedia. Lesson learned: dive when the water gets cold enough to freeze.

By the time the ice melts, my generator has run out of power and again we sink. I expect the temperature to drop, making my crew uncomfortable, but instead the surface of the water freezes over, immobilizing my sub in ice. In another session I'm chugging along the surface of the sea so I can run the sub on wood-burning power (when you submerge, you have to rely on the battery) when I'm warned of an approaching ice storm. Unfortunately I'd forgotten to wire the hatch to the ship's power generator so it immediately flooded the sub with seawater, causing it to sink like a stone and drown my crew. While at port I'd added a hatch to my creaky wooden sub, in hopes of soon building a second level onto it. I get my crew killed more or less instantly.
