Hi Joshezzell,
Yes it will definitely receive more updates. Part of what I had talked about with the last pack was that some of the features like new spline trees will be added to the previous pack, as well as less flat looking tree branches, and falling river water FX. These features will still be added to the last pack, but as for the river water FX I have been wanting to add them since the pack released, but after many attempts I was never able to get it working properly for multiple reasons and so I had to move on to continue other things.
Is there any updates in specific that you are looking for that I hadn’t addressed yet? Many of the initial concerns and updates requested I took care of anything I could.
You can look at the Support page for the list of updates and features resolved from users requests. Or the Unreal Forum thread as well.
Hello Axxi,
I believe there may have been a misunderstanding as to what would be carried over from this pack, back to the previous pack. I am absolutely porting some of the features of this pack into the previous nature pack as well. The spline trees have been updated and I will be bringing the new spline system back into the previous pack as well as some of the updated wind features that work with the old pack.
All of the assets though and many of the features are entirely new entities that in no way relate to the previous pack. I apologize if the naming convention I used for the packs is deceiving. Because they are all meant to be used together I made them vol. 1 and 2 etc, but just as each volume of an encyclopedia can be considered an extension of its previous volume, it is still its own individual product with new information, features, and knowledge to be shared. So don’t worry, I am providing more updates and adding some feature to the last pack, but if I simply had two entirely different named packs like “Procedural Jungle Environment” and “Procedural Forest Seasons” I don’t think we would be having the same conversation. Because I imagine you wouldn’t expect that just because you bought the jungle you can also have the forest seasons pack and all of its features?
If you don’t agree with that I am very sorry to hear that. I am doing my best to address peoples concerns and hold true to the promises I made on the last pack. I would be very sad if I lost you as a customer, but it is your own decision of course.
I’m sorry that you feel that way GeoDev. I am doing my best to finish updates, fix bugs, but still provide new content for people. I like to do this for fun to create packs for the community and contribute to the many projects that people are working on using the Unreal Engine. I feel as though some people are unhappy with how things have been going concerning PurePolygons and this was not something I was aware of. That’s unfortunate to hear. I hope as updates are released your opinion may change.
Thank you everyone,
- Jacob
