Chalk River Map Updates
The virtual world of Chalk River is transforming, spearheaded by the talented Oksana. The refactoring process has birthed three new towns: Eganville, Cobden, and Fort Harriman. These settlements are nestled within four distinct biomes—desert, plains, mountain, and swamp—each offering unique challenges and adventures. The expansion doesn’t stop there; a myriad of other points of interest have been intricately woven into the map, ensuring that explorers will have no shortage of discoveries.
Desert Biome
The Chalk River, a pivotal location from the alpha releases, is receiving a makeover. Drawing inspiration from the Chihuahuan Desert, the team at Vendetta Games is infusing the game with a set of environmental assets that capture the essence of the arid expanses found in northern Mexico and the southwestern United States. The lead-level designer is at the forefront, meticulously preparing these assets, refining shaders, and crafting post-processing elements to replicate the authentic desert ambiance.
Continued Animation Updates
Animation remains a cornerstone of character realism, and Vendetta Games is pushing the envelope. The latest efforts include:
- Polishing main character controllers for female locomotion
- Enhancing horse movement to mirror real-life equine grace
- Refining weapon draw and holster motions for individuality
- Implementing realistic aim logic during high-speed action
- Expanding female character animations
- Adjusting idle animations to correct shoulder positioning
What’s Next
The anticipation for Chalk River is palpable, and the developers share the community’s eagerness. As the next release looms on the horizon, the team’s dedication is unwavering. The promise is clear: the wait for Chalk River will be well worth it, as Vendetta Games is committed to delivering an immersive and captivating world that players will cherish.
