Project Atral: The Riddle of Durendare

About the weather system.


I have fixed the weather systems and their collisions. There's now rain and light snow with Niagara. They will not fall through roofs anymore. But they are very demanding on the CPU, so i'll try to make it possible to deactivate both of them for weaker computers. I can not guarantee it though.

For the next playable alpha build i recommend CPUs comparable to:

  1. Ryzen 5 5500 (six cores)

  2. Ryzen 7 1700 (eight cores)

Any CPU weaker or older than that might not be able to handle Project Atral, while the weather systems can not be turned off.

New features:

- Audio settings menu

- Simple day-night-cycle

Fixed problems:

- Double pause menu

- Oversized buttons

The widget of the audio settings menu works fine now, yet the settings themselves not. Working on it!

I've started to make the first texture. This is Rabica's fur color. She's the leader of the herd.

Part 2!

New contents:

- Floor texture for the insides of the cottages

- Game banner when starting up the project

I've achieved a lot today. The protagonist and player character - Mikhal - is inside the engine and playable! You won't see his head though, because of first person perspective. Time for a pause! My body hurts from sitting around for so long!

New contents:

- Stairs to the cottages

- Wooden pillars for the cottages

- Door numbers

- Mini Map frame has a higher resolution now

Fixed problems:

- Newly placed trees are no longer standing rotated. Thanks to @KingCobra1998 for the help!

The cottages are now done and have been placed into their final positions. What's left to do is fill them up with furniture and make custom collisions.

Despite horrible neck pain, i'm working on the foal model, which is supposed to be in the herd of horses on the island.

I've modeled and textured a modular ramp today. All by hand in Blender and Substance Painter. I'm using it for the docks. The Durendares transported horses and wares up and down to the docks.

The unsolvable problem in the settings menu caused me to rework it. It's now only accessible by the pause menu. The settings menu got only slightly reworked. The "back" button is bigger and i had to put in a background.

I've made a horse statue: "founding stallion" of Stud Durendare. I'm not sure yet if i'll keep the penis or not. I was just trolling a bit there. But if you like it, tell me.
