addedWith recent change to Unreal Engine 5 as one of the first game available to players on this engine, I needed to change old obsolete UE4 VFX to new Niagara system.
addedSo VFX for footsteps, based on different terrain or water splashes when swimming were replaced. Same goes for firearms shot impacts, depending on material they hit. Blood effect was added as well, will be adjusted to the size of animal in future. Ambient VFX life such as butterflies, flies, dragonflies, fireflies were replaced as well and I have added bats to the cave (wait there i a cave?)
addedI hope to add new bees, mosquitos and fireants soon as well.
addedAdditionally changes were made to Ray type of fish. I have replaced stingray, mantas with new ones and added 3 more ray fish types. The reason was the new animations, that will make the fish turning more smooth and natural. So only larger animal, that is still missing turning animations is komodo dragon. Also the way how animals were spawning was changed. They should not be more stuck on spawn.
addedI would like to appreciate, how the community started to use recently added Photomode and Exploration mode. I see very nice screenshot in our game discord channel and this is one of my favorites bellow.
