Few days ago I was playing a game with proximity voice chat, and that got me thinking, would it be possible to implement in WreckMP? Well, as I always say, the question isn't can I do it, the question is how do I do it! So I researched, and found a few things I could use to implement a nice proximity voice chat.
Once I get the base working, I'd like to add optional quality settings, which at the cost of little performance will make the voices better sounding, such as moderately muffling the voice when you hear it through a wall, or adding a little echo coming from the forest when you're in the open.
Development plan for next week
Most importantly in the next week I'd like to release Dumpsters update. As I was progressing on it, more ideas came from me and my testers, therefore the features list of the new update had grown.
Once that is released, I'll move onto experimenting with the proximity voice chat, and perhaps even try to use similar techniques to finally sync custom music on the radio for everyone!
Thank you for reading till the end and see you next Sunday!

A voicechat like this can enhance the experience way more, and it’s a pleasant change in my stereotypical dev loop with syncing game features

How come you're not syncing the rest of the game features first?
