Project Atral: The Riddle of Durendare

Currently known bugs in the Alpha Build 1.1:

- Water Body Ocean partially vanishes around the player

- Voice line instantly starts playing when starting the game (fixed)

- Water body lake (Rúnavatn) not visible on mini map

- Camera Zoom doesn't work

What you see here is an alpha stage map of the project. The Stjarnvik isle is new. I might make it a bit bigger though. The reason why the trees aren't visible is the LOD.

I have very bad news. After trying to fix the first person camera mode for hours, i found out, that it was the reason why the camera zoom in third person mode didn't work! Sorry, but the chances for first person mode are almost zero by now.

I've added an info page about the controls. Fixed the teleporter from Atral to Dan's Dot. Then added a teleporter from Dan's Dot back to Atral. During development the teleporter to Dan's Dot temporarily stays near the buildings.

Concept Art of Mikhal, the protagonist and player character. Now that his design is finished, i can start modeling the details.

I've added some rusty street lanters and a dock. Recreated the isle "Dan's Dot" and made a whole new isle.

When i started Project Atral, i originally wanted to use UE5 for it. But it turned out that the Engine lagged horribly and kept crashing. So now i'm using UE 4.27. And no, the features of UE5 are not an advantage for my project.

These are renders in Blender of my indoor riding arena. It is low poly, but has high resolution textures, which are mostly handpainted. The roof, sand and mossy tarmac textures are from free resources.

I want to be honest and transparent with you. I'm a solo developer and 3D artist, currently learning character animating. I can not do every single thing on my own, therefor i'm using AI assisted development and many different free assets.

Part 1 - Upcoming Features, Fixes, WIP

1. Teleportation to Dan's Dot (available, but bugged)

2. Boat harbor platforms
