Unity 2021 Update
While we've already talked about many of the benefits of the Unity 2021 upgrade, we're excited to share where we’re at in the update progress. As we’re writing this update, the core gameplay and the weather logic systems are fully updated. We’re currently working on updating the multiplayer servers and weather visuals to include all the new powerful technologies that we now have access to by updating Unity to the 2021 version. We should be able to share a visual comparison in the next development outlook.
Once the work on the engine upgrade is completed, we'll once again be back in a place where the game is playable end to end and we'll be looking into doing our next round of playtesting! A few months ago, we migrated our servers to allow for the capacity to have several active games, so we'll be looking to verify that this is the case and make sure the lobby system and matchmaking is working properly!
New Vehicle Accessories
On the modeling side, we've continued bringing vehicle customization attachments into the game. Including this cell phone signal booster and vehicle-mounted weather station! We'll have more to come in the future with this as well.
We are so excited to be where we are in the development process. While we are not in a place to announce specific timing, in terms of the development timeline, we are much closer to Early Access and eventual full release than we are to the start of development.
OUTBRK Soundtrack
In addition to the work on the game itself, we started working on the OUTBRK soundtrack. Here are a few pictures of a recording session for the game:
Podcast
Lastly, on September 21st, we will be recording a podcast episode for the Carolina Weather Group where we will be talking about the development progress of OUTBRK. We’ll let you know in our discord server when the episode will be available to listen to.
As always, stay up to date with our Trello page!
