The road ahead
🕑 Added 2020-07-31 15:22:10 +0000 UTCDear patrons,
I just uploaded an optimized version of v008P - the link is in the "BEWARE voo8 Preview" post. On my rig, I'm getting roughly 20fps more, hopefully you will see a significant performance increase on your end too. This is good news regarding the merging of the old and new maps. I've also learned quite a bit more about optimizing, and pinpointed those elements that are slowing the game down.
As of now, 2/3 of the final map is done! In technical terms, this means 6 out of the planned 9 terrain tiles. If I take into consideration that the 1st tile, the demo terrain, took me 8 months to craft, I'm pretty happy with my progress speed and makes me super confident that I can pull it off by myself (the whole map).
Since June, I'm working on the 7th terrain tile and that one will be quite special - not only visually but also because the road layout will be different every time you enter it. That will be the "semi-procedural" part of the world I was wishing to implement.
So basically my plan is to finish the whole game map first, and then populate it with story, missions, that encompass the whole world. I've always worked like this while creating my animation films - first, creating the universe, then, while absorbing and contemplating it, creating the life inside it.
At the same time, I'll be creating the dangers that are specific to each region, just like I did with the mining dump trucks.
Thank you for your vital support and enjoy summer!

I just subscribed, and am already starting to kinda regret is as there is now nothing for me to download
Josh Myers

Hello Ondrej! I just subscribed to the patreon. This game has been on my radar for a little while and I really hope it gets completed! Question: Do you listen to any Black Metal? I only say this cause playing the demo always made me feel like this was "Black Metal: The Game" just based on the aesthetic and tone hahaha. Well anyways, can't wait to see where this goes!
Jim Weiler
Yes. Thank you. Waiting is exactly what I am and all I can do, 2 days and counting. I saw the previous refresh requests answered in an hour or less so was hoping something a bit quicker. It is what it is, but not gonna lie the site being used for releases seems a horrible idea, and the fact is a number of other potential subs from my Discord have walked away after watching me sit and wait..
Nigel Russell
just wait for a bit and he will refresh it
Nigel Russell
if there is i have not found anything yet
Jim Weiler
Hello I just subbed to check this out as I haven't seen it since the first public demo, and it seems the v008 link has expired :(
Sven
Finally I reached the big factory park with the trailer still attached and get it up to the castle ruins. Very difficult, but what a challenge. I like that. Say, is there anything on the new map which can be manipulated or triggered (beside the obvious, of course, like the monster trucks)
Sven
Thank you very much. Already downloading. Many hours of playing for the weekend! Yay!
Ondrej Svadlena
Huge thanks for your long-lasting support!
Ondrej Svadlena
It happens to me too with v008 sometimes. Temporary solution is to force quit and restart the game (sometimes it takes me 2-3 tries)
Ondrej Svadlena
Thanks for your support! The way I see it is that every contribution is vital for further development. Could be a nice touch, with the windshield fogging up.
Ondrej Svadlena
Thank you! Currently re-uploading v006 & v007 - should be ready in about 30 minutes :)
Josh C.
Wonderful, thank you!
Ondrej Svadlena
Just re-uploaded and refreshed the link for v006 VR :)
Sven
Hi, there. New Patreon after playing the first demo version a while. Could you refresh the older links again, please? V0007 and older seem to be expired. Great game by the way.
Josh C.
Any chance of releasing a VR version of v008 (or perhaps just refreshing the v006VR link)? I just subscribed and this seems like it would be an incredible game to play in VR

glad to have found beware by accident actually lol.. looks great so far only been two days and gotta say i love it.not going to lie though i like figuring things out omg im so lost lmao i had to you tube to get going and found it helpful.also you should know im new to patrion and the whole beta support thing so that should say something about the game otherwise i would not be here.also i feel im cutting in what others paid more for being i just got here yet have access to v008 so i think im going to up my support some to catch up i hope it helps and hope all goes well.the game kinda grabs ya wont let go lmao just one question does the car a/c or heat work or is it some fog proof windshield? think those accessory lights would put off a cool glow js. just an opinion.

Jean-Luc Picard
Where is the Beware v008 preview? Nevermind i see it.
Nigel Russell

Nigel Russell
