looks very nice. perhaps a little too jiggly but at least it feels quite dynamic compared to the usual staticness of character skin

so the hair is apex cloth, and the jiggly body parts are just extra bones with always-on physics, right?

Oh~ Good inner wear~ ^^

White is the truth of inner wear. *-_-*

[CobaltUDK]

Chosker, correct.
Kee, painted inner wear good for modders.

Here is a cheap camera automatic exposure with practically no performance cost.

It's based on the Sun angle and the player occlusion.

The whole screen is brighter depending of these two values, using postproccess Scene_HighLights.

With this is possible to reduce the global ambient light without having too dark image in the penumbra.

In the video, exposition are exaggerated, to make the effect more noticeable.

Some, ejem... body phisics:

Commence the jigglin'!

This is a test I did with a map for Unreal Tournament called "VCTF-Retribution", downloaded from here long time ago:

https://forums.epicgames.com/threads...TF-Retribution

I have included it in my main 10x10 km map as an stream level (the map are loaded when you are near).

I wanted to have an idea as how the game can look once finished, using a well finished map like this.

This is only a test, the game is ambiented in the ancient Mesopotamia, and this level doesn't fit. It's only a test.

In this video you can see:

- Camera auto focus and auto exposure (both are configurable and deactivable).

- Dynamic illumination (no GI), with day/night cycle and torches casting shadows.

- 64 bots following a path using splines.

And some bugs:

- Bots don't detect ledges too well, sometimes they fall as if they were lemmings.

- Some clothes don't fit well because the base models were modified after made the cloth. I prefer to have a definitive base model before fixing the cloth.

- Framerate is bad, with frequently falls under 60 fps because the map has a lot of individual meshes (about 7000), and the 64 bots aren't optimized (too many modules, no LOD for clothes, apex clothing, etc).

Excellent work! Looks amazing! @_@

"VCTF-Retribution" is a map based on the future world.
But I think that your map looks nice with your characters.
I don't feel a sense of incompatibility from your map. @_@

It's the proper work.
The sense of balance is good!

1 minute and 5 seconds in gave me a rare laugh out loud moment.thank you for that.a great start to the day.

[CobaltUDK]

Kee, it's futuristic, but has a "retro" touch.

661gaz, then look at 6:12

Here is a voice test for the female character:

Voices are from Katabelle. I think still needs more tension, more anxiety. She is working in that.

Cool !

[Keehoon Ahn]

3:1 sword fighting is very interesting.^^
It's good work.

[CobaltUDK]

Thanks

This is why I did firearms code for a swords game...

Update: combat gameplay (ground/air):

[ClavosTech]

Reminds me of Stargate a little

[CobaltUDK]

Some improvements to the female voices, all by Katabelle (www.katabelle.com).

All the NPC's have the same voices, but with different pitch values. Voices reflects now more tension in the combat.

There are still some bugs to fix in the animations, and the clothes are no fitting the bodies, that were modified after doing the clothes.
