Video report on the development of the game USSR 2021 (USSR 2021) v0.26
⚠ The game is developed by one person.
⚠ The video does not show the final version of the game.
⚠ Video recorded on a test map.
I've been working on characters for the last couple of months. Namely, over the controller of the game character and the clothing system.
CHARACTER CONTROLLER
The game has the ability to switch from eye view (first person) or back view (third person). The video demonstrates a basic hand-to-hand combat system (block, punches and kicks) and a basic parkour system that allows you to climb various objects.
CLOTHING SYSTEM
The character can change different items of clothing (shoes, pants, T-shirts, jackets, hats, masks and backpacks). There are plans to make it possible to wear clothes in layers like in the game The Long Dark. For example, three pairs of pants for warmth.
The clothes will influence the character, keeping him warm as the seasons change. On the contrary, in summer there will be overheating. If you run barefoot, you will get injured. Different footwear will affect the speed and noise of movement.
When putting on boots or other high shoes, the pants are automatically tucked into the shoes. This will avoid the shoe model passing through the leg and just looks cool.

Video report on the development of the game USSR 2021 (USSR 2021) v0.24
⚠ The game is developed by one person.
⚠ The video does not show the final version of the game.
⚠ Video recorded on a test map.
⚠ Most of the 0.24 update is bug fixes and various minor changes that it makes no sense to describe.
⚠ At the moment, I think the survival system and interface are ready. In April, work will continue to refine the behavior of AI.
ITEMS
Added rainwater collector. Water in the game will come across quite rarely. Therefore, I made this simple device. The moisture collector is installed on the surface of the earth and during rain, water begins to accumulate in it. Is the water drinkable.
Later, puddles that will appear during rain will be added based on this mechanics.
Added the ability to use part of the item to crafting. Previously, when crafting, only the number of items was taken into account. Now you can use a percentage of the item. For example, half duct tape, not the whole duct tape.
A working torch has been added, which can be used for lighting and self-defense. The torch can burn 1.5 - 2 minutes of real time, after which it burns completely. To craft a torch, you need a board, three rags and 10% of the fuel from the canister.
Added the ability to open various doors and extend furniture drawers.
Campfire burning duration increased.
INTERFACE
Added sound volume settings to the pause menu. You can separately adjust the sound effects or decrease the volume of the music.
Added option to disable the interface. This feature can be used to record videos and screenshots.
The "Download game" and "Save game" buttons have been added to the pause menu.
Calculation weight of the craft items. Now, when transferring items to the crafting window, their weight continues to be taken into account. Previously, things could be worn in the craft window and they did not weigh anything.
A crouch icon has been added to the interface. In addition, when the character sits down, the field of view expands slightly. This allows you to better understand that the player is sitting.
Added a small recovery of maximum stamina when the character is crouching.
Changed indicators placing objects on the surface. Now they are gray and not so bright.
CHARACTER
Parameter of the mental state of the protagonist. With a low level of psyche, the player will begin hallucinations (elements of horror).
This parameter depends on the state of the character (health, hunger, thirst, body temperature, time of day). Anomalies and other characters will also affect the psyche.
Added the ability to drink from puddles and other bodies of water. You can drink from the moisture collector and other water sources in which rain water will collect.
EFFECTS
Background music has been added to the game. To day and night, different musical compositions are played. At night the music are more sinister.
Improved smoke from a fire. Now smoke does not pass through solid obstacles. For example, if you make a fire in a build, the smoke does not go beyond it.
The effect of eyes closing is added. If the character wants to sleep, then in addition to yawning, he will begin to involuntarily close his eyes.
Improved water physics. Previously, if you push a floating object, then he endlessly moved forward. Now objects are slowing down.
Added light from the moon. This allows to see at night.
Reduce size of raindrops. Raindrops do not fall in buildings.

Improved campfire. The model is redone, the ability to disassemble a bonfire is added to get stones and not attract opponents. Added glow of coals when burning a fire.
LOOT
Added a chance of falling items when spawn in world or in boxes. Thus, in the game rare items will be found less often than others.
Added spawn function for random objects around the player. Objects spawn in a certain radius on a certain surface. This function allows you to automatically fill the game world with various small objects with which you can interact.
For example, in the forest will appear sticks, mushrooms, plants, small animals. In industrial locations, garbage and loot.
Objects are automatically deleted if the player moves away from them a certain distance. It also has a positive effect on performance.
