Now that we are settled into our new  (temporary) home, we are putting our development into hyper-speed. We have lots of projects in the works as well as working with clients to deliver products.

Unity is adding exciting new features to the engine, including high quality rendering pipelines which will improve performance and increase the quality of the graphics. They are upgrading the terrain, finally, and adding streaming for open worlds. Also, other technical changes will allow developers to use many objects in their game without huge overhead.

All this is exciting news for us and for Legends of Aryiure.

So while we wait for all that cool stuff from Unity, our team is busy with other projects.

Our focus at the moment is a psychological thriller in space which will be made for the Oculus Rift VR system as well as a PC version in first person. Our previous contract work was in AR and so this switch to VR for this game has been relatively painless. Currently working on level design and art, plus some a cool grip system created by our programmer, Dennis.

One of our artists, Aynsley,  has been contracted by a small studio to do UI and logo artwork. We are watching their game and hope it does well.  This artist is also working on her own platform game, coding and art, which is impressive. The game is in the Metroidvania style and looks awesome.

Our other artist, Kerensa, has plans for some character models she wants to sell on the asset store. Also, we hope to get some already created assets on the store in the near future.

I will be setting up sections on the website for all the games we are creating as well as asset store products. Feels good to be fully back to work.

On a personal note, we are enjoying the winter here in NJ, my first for a very long time and the first winter my kids have experienced. I do sometimes long for the lovely winter days of Florida, but I am sure this coming summer I will be happy to be here.

Thanks for checking in and will try to post more often.
