Hello everyone!

Time for a new report.

If the previous one, was a “Part 2” this would be a “Part 3” for the revamped enemies.

Remember how many body-types I mentioned we added for them?

Well, now get the more than hundred and a half animations a single average Infected had in the Arena and multiply by those many body-types…

Good part has been that for the enemies the Unreal Engine auto-Retargeter worked pretty decently, otherwise this could have taken years 😵.

Anyways, those animations are now “ported” to the new enemies. They look decent, but I’d like them to be better, but that’s not a priority right now, maybe in the future.

After converting all the animations, the next step was to swap the old enemies with the new ones. This bought a lot of errors here and there. After fixing them all, I took an extra step and created a parametrized random enemy generator, to give them random looks (including bodies, faces, anims, clothes, shaders, etc.)

Enemies are basically ready now, except for the clothes’ materials/textures, which is the next step.

Here you can take a look at some randomly generated enemies:

(Who could say they have like half the polygons from the old Arena Infected? 😏)

And that’s going to do it for this report.

And now, time to get back to dying in here working without fresh air 😥 (yeah, still waiting to get that fixed, they’re laughing at us 🤬)!

(Yes, ^ that is a copy paste from the previous report, and is still fucking valid. We’re still waiting…)

Much love everyone 💖

Until next time 😊.

How much longer until this game is fully developed? I'm so excited I can't wait!

The zombies don't look too deformed. In the later levels will the zombies look more mutated or generally the same.

CyberShadow

ticking away as normal hope for a test build some time within the next year hopefully o-o

versusxstudio

Hmm, well they have other body shapes, but still remain pretty "human". But there will be other kind of monsters of course 😁

versusxstudio

I wish I could know, but these kind of tasks are taking too much time (a lot more than what I'd like them to take). But we're giving our best to make it the better game possible.

versusxstudio

We're trying to be as fast as possible, but this stuff is proving to require a lot more time than what we expected. (Right now all I want is for the summer to go away at once, so we can work at a better pace instead of wanting to die, every few seconds, of heat 🥵. It's so hard to even try to focus like this)

CyberShadow

welp yeah no rush we love the quality you guys made on arena happy to wait, within reason of cause. wish ya well.

Roger Womack

got a question since yaw been working on that project is the area still playable

Roger Womack

what im trying to say is the project arena version

Russ

Been Patreon for years the amount of effort and time that is put into this project is amazing!!

Chris

Question, So far I haven't seen any evidence of multiple zombies ganging up on Julia. Will there be a mechanic for that? More positions, and multiple zombies using her?

versusxstudio

We hope to make it much better for the game 😊

versusxstudio

Well, yeah, the Arena can be downloaded and played without problem. If you mean if it's playable in the current UE5 project where we're developing the game, then probably no, because of the recent changes made to the enemies and the new way they're configured.

versusxstudio

Thank you! 🧡 We really hope it has been worth it when it finally comes out 😊

versusxstudio

Yeah, that's the idea, but can't fully confirm it just yet, since I didn't animate something like that yet (well, I did it for one scene in Punished Mai, where they were 2 on 1, but that and this are very different, especially since in Bio it has to look good from every angle since you can move the camera, unlike in a prerendered scene where it only has to look good from the current pov 😅)

Russ

Well you got my vote man! any comments or reviews will be glad to leave.

versusxstudio

Thanks for the suggestion (and the reference)! 😉

What’s the latest playable version?

我喜欢口爆希望能有吐精液的场景

versusxstudio

I'm glad you like it. We'll see if we can achieve such effect 😅

versusxstudio

The latest one is the final version for the Arena: 1.0.241-Rev3

Love that idea! Would love to see that implemented.
