System Shock: новости за Апрель

Hello backers! It’s Stephen from Nightdive with this month’s update.  This month has just flown by and after GDC was over we got right back to work! Our goal is to bring Medical to a level of final polish we can use as a benchmark for the remaining levels. This includes implementing the weapons, enemies and mechanics that are missing and adjusting the lighting/fx. Let’s take a look at weapons!         ⠀⠀⠀⠀     The hi-poly models for the mini-pistol and the magnum are just about complete. With the help of the community we’ve condensed the original weapons list down to a smaller, more manageable amount and combined some of the omitted weapons’ firing modes and functions into the weapons we’ve decided to keep.           ⠀⠀  We also made sure that weapons will share parts like grips and receivers. This will help ground the design with the game world. Tri-Optimum would be manufacturing these weapons and would have the goal to not only save money and production time, but to ensure the parts could be easily swapped in the event of malfunction.             ⠀⠀   We’ve stayed true to the original game by incorporating the initials of the developers into the weapon names. The SK-27 Shotgun has quickly become my favorite weapon ;)            ⠀⠀   Robb has been instrumental in documenting the behavior of the weapons - how they will be reloaded, fired, and what those functions will look like when animated.              ⠀⠀    You can see in this example the Magpulse will share the grip of the pistols but the functionality will be completely different, requiring the user to load a clip, then pump the front hand grip to chamber the charge.             ⠀⠀    Anyone know someone at NERF? We need to get these guns produced into non-lethal, kid friendly versions :)             ⠀⠀    Here we can see 3 of the grenade types. We are going to implement a secondary priming mechanism so they don’t blow up in your pockets :)              ⠀⠀                 ⠀⠀     Justin is working on a redesign of the conversion chambers that will fit within our modular tile system.           ⠀⠀                ⠀⠀      Jonathan is working on finishing up some additional props and he’s started the tile set for the Research level which we’ll be looking at next month!         ⠀⠀              ⠀⠀       Finally, let’s take a look at what the Groves are going to look like. Robb is envisioning some wide open areas with brutalist concrete planters full of overgrown vegetation and large clear domes offering unobstructed views of the depths of space.  Next month we’ll be looking at more character art and combat!

Разработчики планируют отполировать мед. уровень, чтобы потом использовать как эталон при сравнении с другими уровнями.
