The game is still alive, don't worry. At the moment, I have some free time and I have started active development.
As for the Unreal Engine, yes, I know that version 5 has been released. However, I will stay on version 4.27.2. The reason is simple: Version 4.27.2 has better optimization. My task is to make a game that will produce stable fps on different PCs. And version 5 of the engine cannot guarantee this.
Yes, I'm losing the new animation system, sounds and the same nanites. But all these little things, I can make good sounds and animations in version 4, and the new Lumen lighting in the dark tunnels of the subway does not make sense.
I will try to publish the news more often, but you will understand me. I'm basically making models and the core of the game right now. And you are unlikely to be interested in learning how the game works from the inside. However, if you want to see the full development, then let me know.
I do the project alone and mostly I do it for myself. I've been wanting to do something worthwhile for a long time. So I can't guarantee that you'll like it.
Thank you for reading this news, have a nice day and good luck.
Hello
Lately I've been thinking about developing a game. I came to the conclusion that I would not have everything at once. First I will make the main systems: map, inventory, NPCs, quests, and only then I will think about new systems. Since if you try to do everything at once, there will be confusion. On this occasion, I have a request to those who want this game, send your photos of metro stations in your city so that I would have an idea of how to do everything. I have little imagination, but I can do a lot if there are examples. Since I'm creating the game alone, it's quite difficult to do everything quickly. But don't worry about the project I haven't forgotten.
You can send your photos to my email: admin@waer-world.ru
Update!!!!!!!
Added a weather system. Updated the interface, more visual stuff. Fixed a bunch of bugs. I redesigned the packaging of the game, which reduced the weight from 30 to 4 GB. But this is before the release of the game, there will be all 30GB. But while the beta is on, enjoy. Did something else. Made the landscape work normally. I'm still hitting the lighting in the face so that it works as it should.
METRO MP v2.0
Changes
The save system now works via SQLite.
Additions
Added several types of weapons, now there are 8 types. Screenshots will be in the update. Added admin panel. You can configure its buttons and categories in RemoteAdmin.json
Fixes
Fixed some bugs with item synchronization.
Forward to the future
Finally a miracle happened and I started working on the main menu ːzoteː. The menu is 46% ready. Started moving the game to UE version 4.27
