We only have a couple of things left that we want to tweak prior to launch, but there's still a lot more stuff we hope to work on post launch. That may disappoint some but the good news is the in-game Kickstarter content is finished. We looked at our schedule and while we could kill ourselves to get it out by year's end, it made more sense to stay in Closed Beta longer to make sure the game is solid and ready for our backers. We're currently in CB1 and will be in CB2 before years end.

Each consists of a subset of content that will lead up to our initial PC launch which will contain all the digital content we set out to do during our Kickstarter. To better manage feedback, we broke the Closed Beta into 2 phases. We're also fixing a number of bugs and making positive gains with performance as we lead up to our initial PC launch. Of course, there have been critiques and suggestions too, with many of them aligning with our to-do list. If you backed those tiers but haven't seen your key arrive, be sure to contact us.Ĭlosed Beta is going very well with much of the feedback being overwhelmingly positive. Yes! We've been in Closed Beta now for about a month, so those that have backed us at 'Legion Edition' or higher have had their Closed Beta keys sent out. Coming back from PAX, we were incredibly pumped up to dive back into development and get Closed Beta out to our backers. It was also awesome introducing the game to people that had never heard of it before. It was amazing to meet face to face with our backers and show them the game they made possible with their pledges. We expected a couple of people to show up to the booth, maybe 100 people max, but were shocked to find that our our booth was PACKED. Progress on PFTG has been going great! PAX West feels like it happened ages ago, but I think it's important to let you know that it went very well for us. Hello to all of our backers and newsletter readers! No Matter tapped Unity’s features for innovative artists and designers.The latest newsletter for Praey for the Gods announces that closed beta is underway and the plans for early access and beyond. Whether putting a monstrous giant/beast or unforgiving weather in your face, tiny No Matter Studios is building a big story with convincing material effects to match. This also allows action-packed interactions between the boss and any rigid bodies it encounters.” This “proxy” mesh allows No Matter to record the mesh animation and then translate it back into the physics system for high-fidelity output.Ĭhien and company are very pleased with the result: “The Animated Physics system allows players to climb and collide with our bosses as they are moving, while making sure that the collision on the boss is as close as possible to the visuals players see. The system works by having a slightly lower resolution proxy physics mesh – the same way you generally want to create lower resolution physics meshes for props. On a high level Unity allows animated meshes to have physics that move with them and interact with other physics accurately. As Parnell says, “Having players struggling in our extreme environment is a core Praey for the Gods gameplay mechanic, and tessellation helps us achieve it.” Setting up the snowy surfaces in this manner also enables No Matter to create areas of deep drifts where the player actually gets submersed, impeding their progress and heightening drama as they collide with the underlying terrain. So when the player or an object intersects with the snow we remove that section, giving the appearance that the snow has been pushed down, creating realistic footprints.” “Using tessellation, our snow tech pushes up snow based on the height we paint it on the terrain. “We wanted a solution that would allow characters and objects to push down the snow in a realistic way,” says Wiese. This allows designers to achieve far more detail on surfaces, depth and resolution to achieve ultimate fidelity. To achieve this, Chien and the team exploited Unity’s tessellation capabilities, which enables you to create geometry, such as polygons or closed shapes, that tessellates, or breaks down, into smaller and smaller geometries. And Wiese adds: “We could just have used footstep decals to fake snow but we wanted something much more interactive and realistic.”

It’s so omnipresent it’s really like another boss,” says Parnell.

“As well as creating some amazing epic bosses, we knew that snow would be crucial for us.
