In this month’s development progress video we go over the latest features implemented as well as many changes and improvements made to many other aspects of the game. I love to hear your suggestions and ideas to improve the game and make it more immersive.
Improvements to the machines include new forcefield effects, completely reworked and redesigned tentacles that sway with the tripod, can pickup and toss vehicles, work more reliably, and look and run smoother.
The environment has gotten a big touch up. Volumetric fog and lighting has been improved to obscure the distance for mystery of what lies ahead and to unload unnecessary objects and areas for performance optimization.
Military AI has been added that engage the tripods whenever they approach, they will also pursue and do their best to delay the advance of the machines. The military die out as the days pass so their presence is more felt in the first 2 days.
A lot of work has been done on Immersion. New dynamic weather including rain, storms, snow, and more. The weather particles are collision based and won't clip through buildings, the weather SFX is audio occluded to sound muffled when inside and louder outside. Distant lightning storms can be seen which are delivering more aliens. Distant off-map battles can be heard and seen.
There's a ton to go over so be sure to check out the whole video!

  • This looks INCREDIBLE! Suggestions: 1. Apart from red vines growing, more and more land needs to turn red like in that one horrific scene near the end of the movie. 2. Maybe some sort of footprints from tripods? There is currently no sign after a tripod has walked by, leaves the impression that they're very light 3. The 8:00 scene looks a little iffy imo, I think that's because the smoke and explosions are clearly visible through the fog, contrasting in a weird way 4. Gunshots from the vehicles sound a little weird when close up! Sounds like knocking, I literally turned around and looked at my door lmao Thank you for doing this for the community, this videogame has been a dream of mine ever since I saw the movie.

  • I don't know what you guys would think, but a detail that would be perfect for the red grass is that it has bioluminescence, that it shines an intense red color, so that the sky is dyed a bloody red tone. I say this because behind the scenes of the film, in the production design, they put red LED lights on some areas where there was red grass.

  • This looks great so far! I have a few pieces of feedback. 1) All super loud noises that you want a delay for depending on distance should have a delay set to 1 second per in-game mile. 2) (Probably already planned) As the days of the week go on, you see less and less military and other NPCs until on the final couple of days, where you are the final survivor. 3) Tripods should only notice your gunshots if there is not a louder audio source closer to them. For example, it wouldn't make sense for them to be engaging in a fight with the military and then you shoot someone a couple hundred yards away and they turn their attention towards you. Other than that, all I can really say so far is that for an in-dev/pre-alpha build, this is really shaping up well. Only real constructive criticism I have is probably something that you're already working on, which is a lot of the sound effects sound pretty low quality. But I'm just assuming they're placeholder.

    • Yeah, I mean, it's literally being attacked. I think a tripod would prioritize it's attackers first and foremost. If it's alone and not being attacked and hears a gunshot or loud noise, yes, it'd probably move to investigate and probably hunt down the person. Otherwise it'd probably ignore it, unless it's extremely close to it.

      @SgtHawk45@SgtHawk45 Жыл бұрын
    • I personally disagree with the second one. I think that instead of the whole "lone survivor" trope, the game should eventually start spawning in new NPC's that could act as bandits or other survivors. Yeah, there will still be a lot of moments where you feel alone, but it'd be very unlikely that you specifically would be the last person on Earth.

  • Maybe for dynamic purposes from time to time a tripod could be downed by the military? In the original books it happened a couple of times, not enough to make the game easier to to change the core gameplay but enough to make that a rare event that brings hope. Only for it to be squashed as there are too many tripods to deal with.

  • 20:15 is chilling, it adds to the hellscape that the tripods create with their destruction. I would love to see bodies strung about in land and floating in the water like the scene from the movie. Maybe the more civilians the tripods kill, the more floating debris will clutter the air (clothes, ashes, etc.) like the movie? Also, will the red vine have any negative health benefits towards the player? I know that birds signify new tripods, but will they also signify a dying tripod as well? Maybe have some sort of “aging” effect on the tripods over a few days (grime, dirt, slower or irregular tripod movement) as well?

  • I think what would help the atmosphere, would be adding more colorful clothes and stuff . I believe in the behind the scene features of the movie the production really looked in the wardrobe department to really signify that this is happening on American soil with American citizens. Which at the time the fashion was colorful and such. Also maybe each house just has photos of the dev team or friends of the dev team to add to the atmosphere of this horror happening in a suburban area . Also just piles of clothes everywhere scattered around. Just like the movie

  • I'm very impressed with this game so far, my only real complaints at the moment are: 1 - the shield colours when being hit need to be a bit darker and the colour change needs to be a bit slower for people with epilepsy e.g. 13:53 2 - some of the explosion sounds can be a bit loud at times like at 8:01 15:56 , it just seems a bit extra at times, but it would work very well when a tripod is destroyed 3 - I'm concerned about the clip in 7:24 , now idk if the tripod was turning in your direction because poor timing, but it was engaged by the military with missiles hitting its shield, why should it take notice of the random shotgun blast in the distance, aside from avenging that poor citizen. I don't think it should be that easy to alert by firing a gun. I can understand on later days when the military has been exhausted and the land is desolate with little to no people so making any noise is a potential risk, but it would just seem frustrating especially when its busy cleaning up the military. 4 - I do think there needs to be times where nothing is happening where there are no people, tripods or military, just the ambience. this would make it all the more rewarding after escaping hell from those tripods and would make the game less exhausting to play by balancing out those intense hide or die scenarios, it would also add to the uneasiness because you never know when they will come back until you hear that haunting tripod horn in the distance. 5 - My last concern is the tripod AI, my big worry is if the tripods will always stay within a large bubble around the players current position and can't wonder off , and it if prioritises you over other AI civilians, it would be annoying if it still tries to pursue you after escaping to a building, when its chasing a crowd of people that you were in. aside from that, the game looks Amazing, my favourite scenes being 2:07 , just because how ominous it looked , 9:05 just for the ambience , 13:01 the fear, 16:09 was awesome as hell, 21:00 is a nightmare scenario for me. please keep this up I made this comment because I really care about this game and want it the best it can be. your team has done so many cool thing like dynamic battles, the procedural red weed and making this dream game and I can't wait to see more from you guys.

My suggestion would be for when the military is fighting the tripods for there to be more close air support (A10s, apaches etc) US military heavily utilizes that stuff, and would especially against giant machines, perhaps even add effects of the depleted uranium munitions from a A10 or rockets from a Apache hitting the force field, it would create a crazy light show!

  • Excuse me, for the survival mode can you please add the feature of events happening at certain times, for example, if a player survives to day 5 or something have the aliens start arriving or NPCs start to get more and more aggressive as the game goes on. I feel like that would make the game more realistic and give the player more of a challenge as the game goes on. Also makes you feel like there is impending doom and makes you want to embark across the world in order to find more of a safe place or to get more weapons. Just a thought.

  • First off - brilliant progress! I have some recommendations that in my opinion would improve immersion and make you feel the same vibes as the movie - I personally still don't like the heat ray sound effect. I think it should sound more like thunder but if it was drawn out, and have an echo effect at the end of each blast. So the effect starts with a low frequency buzz and finishes with a thunderous echo across the land to signify the air being ripped apart by the ray. Military weapons need echo/long distance SFX adding (I'm sure you already working on that). Make sure there is an element of scripting to when and where military shows up, wouldn't want them to be there blasting at the tripods all the time, all over the map - there deffo needs to be moments in this game where you are alone with a tripod. Remember there is a delay in the military response since all their vehicles need to be repaired. NPC screams and dialogue currently does not sound very realistic and their presence is not immersive/scary - more needs to be done to make them human-like, to create that feeling of horror when they are being killed. The player damage sound effects/grunts feel a bit out of place. Try taking some inspiration from the Far cry franchise and 'The Forest' survival game to get good player breathing and grunting FX. I'd make sure the ambient SFX and lighting storms is random, allowing periods of complete silence. You want the player to feel totally alone at times to sell the vibe imo. It feels as thought the tripods are forever present, there is always one nearby getting shot at - I think that there needs to be much more moments without them there to build tension. You could also add a torch/candle light system to build tension. At night, while the moonlight provides a slight glow off silhouettes, to be able to see effectively the player must acquire a torch or lamp. But, of course, this would make them easier to spot - so they would have to make a choice when to use it. They will especially need it in houses when looking for loot, imagine the vibes of searching a dark house in silence with global illumination and other lighting effects present. I see you added a lamp - but I don't feel in the games current state you ever 'need' it. Wouldn't there only be 1 tentacle present if the tripod was just harvesting 1 person (the player)? You'd oy have loads of them hanging out if it was having a buffet of people! also the tentacles seem really fat, in the movie they are pretty thin, guessing around 15cm in diameter, and from a distance you can only see the blue lights at the end of each tentacle, moving around like a swarm of bees - that Sh*t is scary and definitely needs to be in this game!. Incredible how you got the search probe working so well! Already very creepy! Might be hard to do well - but you could give it objects/ rooms of interest that it would spend longer periods 'starring' at? Would sell the fact that these are creatures with 'personality'. From a gameplay perspective, perhaps there should be some kind of warning that a tripod is charging it's heatrays, since it's such an accurate and deadly weapon, the players only chance to survive a tripod targeting them is to have the chance to run for cover?

  • Couple suggestions, first one being that the red weeds should A. Be torn away when opening a door covered in it and B. Block doors from opening at all once it grows past a certain point, requiring the player to cut or burn it to get through. Also, it would be a good touch for the probes to forcefully bust through doors and windows instead of just clipping through them. Little things like that.
