IBT Survival Island - Update

In these regular updates we will bring fresh content to Hive, in the form of our game coding experiences; IBT is a developing PC game - the one to have future Crypto interactions.

Updates times again, a few things have happened since the last post.

Resources Re-added to rebuild

Looking for the bug that killed our game over 13 months ago has been difficult. We could walk away and quit this project but no! Each time we get defeated we come back with a vengeance. Not only do we improve some of the code we also come up with better looking graphics, ideas and meshes. We just wont quit as for we have a unique idea for a game and want you to enjoy it. For now we are reintroducing the resources so you can build. Theses resources are available in various shapes and sizes. Like these rocks for example. small rocks will give you 10 stones where larger rocks will give you 50.

Tree Resources

Compared to our good old Aussie eucalyptus trees we were using before, these trees smash the old looking meshes. They are just as equally hungry for GPU resources from your graphics card so we might as well use them instead. These trees provide anything from 20 to 50 wood where fallen trees and logs can be anything from 10 to 40 wood. When we add them to create terrain they turn, change size and bend in different directions giving the location a feel that it isn't the same trees over and over again.

Building integrated and implemented

Its about time but we now have building capabilities again. This week and part of next week we will be adding the HUD display showing the amount of resources you are carrying. The building reticle is currently generic looking like most games but will be modified over time as we add extra shapes and resources.

That's it for this update - gosh work just keeps on streaming in, but thankfully its still going the right direction.

We have a Dicord Channel, if keen for it pop a message here and jump in and drop us a line and help with some testing, else not long until the next update - stay tuned.

Cheers
