Hi everyone!

We’ve got a double post tonight! First, this weekly Eden Star update post, and in a few hours, a BIG ONE about our UI and HUD. So stay tuned!

Here’s some of what the team has been doing:

Development team:

• Continuing work on some awesome multiplayer LAN tests
• Testing Network and executable builds

Designers:

• Further passes over the large-scale map, and populating it with more interesting features
• Prototyping new LOD (Level of detail) systems for organic assets
• White-boxing terrain features

Artists:

• Producing amazing, inspirational concept pieces for environment types and features
• Recreating our old MATA-Tool particle effects, but 200% more awesome
• Making the first visual pass, in-engine, of our Construction UI (we will touch on this in our next update!)

Animators:

• Refining movement anims, getting them to replicate across network
• Further passes on wall-run and freerunning animations for 3rd-person
