Heute gab es für Ark gleich zwei Ankündigungen, was in der nahen und fernen Zukunft auf die Spieler zu kommen wird.
Zum einen wurde ein neuer Spielmodus angekündigt der unter dem Namen ARK: Primal Survival laufen wird. Hier schlüpft man in die Rolle der Tiere von ARK und kann mit seinen Artgenossen leben, jagen und Brüten!

Die zweite Ankündigung bezieht sich auf den nächsten Patch, wo die neuen Gebiete zu The Island hinzugefügt werden und der lang erwartete Titanosaurus erscheint!

Ausserdem wurde ein weiterer Mod von den Devs übernommen und ist ab dem 28. Juli zum downloaden erhältlich. Primitive Plus verbannt die modernen Aspekte aus ARK und lässt dem Spieler nur die primitven Dinge. Aber um den Verlust auszugleichen wurden viele neue Dinge hinzugefügt.
Der Mod beinhaltet:

• Über 100 primitive gehaltene Strukturen
• 3 "alte" Bau Stufen (Lehm,Holz,Ziegel und Zement)
• Ausgiebiges Ressourcensystem - überlebe mit über 40 verschiedenen ressourcen
• Primitive Fallen (Totfallen / Fischfalle)
• Erweitertes Farmen - 10 historische Pflanzen und ressourcen (Weizen, Gerste,Kaffee,Tee usw.)
• 11 ikonische Waffen (Steinschuss pistole, Muskete, Vikinger Axt, Kampfaxt, etc)
• 60 rezepte für Essen
• Viele Rollenspielelemente (Märkte zum Handeln, Mahlzeiten, etc)

Die Funpimps haben ein kleines Video online gestellt wo man sehen kann, an was momentan für Alpha 15 gearbeitet wird.

An sich viele schöne Änderungen. Schade nur, dass die Charaktererstellung versimpelt wird...

Nach langer Pause hat FrankieOnPC wieder ein Video seiner DayZ Serie raus gebracht. Wen das englische nicht stört, sollte es sich anschauen. 45 Min pure Unterhaltung

Alles Gute

Vielen Dank euch allen.

Alles Gute Basti

7 Days to Die kommt nun auch für die Konsole raus. Gestern Nacht wurde ein Trailer mit Statement veröffentlicht, in dem gesagt wurde, dass das Spiel durch das Studio Telltale (The Walking Dead-Spiele) im Juni als Early Access Titel für die Konsolen erscheinen wird. Vorbesteller erhalten 5 exclusive Skins wie z.B Lee Everett oder Michonne. Ausserdem wird die Konsolenversion Splitscreen Multiplayer,verschiedene Multiplayermodi und viele andere Features beinhalten, die in den kommenden Tagen/Wochen angekündigt werden.

In den Foren haben die Devs später dann auch verlauten lassen, dass Content und Fixes zwischen den Studios hin und her gereicht werden und wir in naher Zukunft wohl einen Performance Boot erwarten können.

Alles Gute du Wurst

Laut MadMole steht der release von Alpha 14 wohl kurz bevor. Auf die Frage ob das Update noch vor Ostern kommen würde gab der Entwickler folgende Antwort: We're ready any day now. Unless showstoppers keep cropping up we're going to release it. So wird das Update,sofern keine weiteren Bugs auftauchen, wohl dieses Wochenende oder nächstes Wochenende raus kommen (oder auch nicht :P).
Das Update an sich soll lt. den Devs doppelt so groß sein wie Alpha 13 und viele Bugfixes,Änderungen und vor allem Performance tweaks bringen. So wurde gesagt, dass der Client nun besser laufen würde, als bei manchen Alphas zuvor.
Mal schauen, ob das was wird oder wir nochmal ein paar Wochen warten müssen, bis das nächste Update raus kommt.

Heute morgen gab es für 7D2D vorerst das letzte Update für die nächsten Tage. Leider bringt das update nur ein paar bugfixes und das neue RandomGen.

Alpha 13.6 Patch notes

• Added: New video Tone Mapping options replacing the old Dynamic Contrast. Currently there are 5 options including Vibrant, Cold, Dark, Bright, and Vibrant DeSat. Vibrant is the default.

Heute Abend gepostet:

Überarbeitetes RandomGen

Zitat von Joel

While most the team was finding and fixing the lag bug Robert was working on the newest iteration of random gen. The first part of the overhaul was to get rid of all the steep walls and cliff problems which we achieved. Now the entire world flows together nicely with no 200 foot drop offs or spike walls made of terrain.

Then we got lakes back and they look better than ever. There are even houses by the shore which look great. There are actually islands and peninsulas with sometimes roads that connect to them, which are really cool. See the one in the map screenshot in the SW corner.

Also the wasteland is back. So we have all biomes again in random gen, and some central mountains now towards the center of the world. If you guys and gals are nice maybe Santa will drop this yet before Christmas. No promises, but so far testing looks really good.

Radioaktive Gebiete, Große Gebirge und Inseln!

Wenn jetzt in den kommenden Tagen noch ein Fix für die Dedi-Server kommen würde, wärs perfekt.

Und heute hat er sich auch prompt entschuldigt:

Zitat von Madmole

We're committed to MP. I was just being a jerk last night, sorry. I've worked so hard for so many months and to see complaints that we don't care or are ignoring problems after slaving so long is hard to swallow sometimes. I've put my professional hat back on. We'll find these problems soon enough.

hihi

Die Multiplayer-Server laufen nicht, Zombies buggen rum und die FPS sind auch nicht grad die besten. Patch 13 hat viele Änerungen gebracht, die wohl noch nicht ganz so ausgereift waren, wie man Anfangs angenommen hatte. Und nun hat der Entwickler Madmole auch noch eine Antwort auf eine Frage gegeben, die der Spielecommunity ziemliche Bedenken gibt.

Zitat von Madmole

We don't NEED multi player. We are making a great single player game and coop sort of fell out of the engine so we turned it on and people liked it, so we made a dedi and allowed that. Fallout will sell more than all these new ♥♥♥♥ty survival games combined and we'll be right next to them with a fabulous single player campaign. Are we abandoning multi player? Hell no. But its not our top priority right now. We want the game to run great in SP and P2P for a couple friends. We only support up to 8 players, yet people have 50 slot servers with hundreds of zombies on it, then complain its not working right.

Eine sehr unglücklich ausgedrückte Antwort, die momentan für viel aufregen sorgt.

Gestern ist ein neuer Trailer von Star Citizen erschienen. Diesmal geht es um den nahtlosen übergang von Weltall zur Planetenoberfläche mit dem ersten begehbaren Planeten.

Wie immer alles In-Engine.

Und auch an diesem Morgen gab es wieder einen kleinen Patch.

Alpha 13.2 Patch notes

• Added: Notification when item is broken and needs repair.
• Changed: Supply crates have less HP
• Changed: Rebalanced all tools. Essentially all iron tools do the same base damage, but have penalties for what they aren’t good at. This resolves odd cases where a pickaxe might have been better at cutting wood than a fireaxe. Stone tools do half the damage iron tools do. Steel tools do 2x damage as iron
• Changed: Dead animals stay in the world 2x as long
• Changed: Sunglasses make you look cool and also cool you down in hot weather.
• Changed: Rocket launcher cannot be assembled or repaired without reading the schematic first.
• Changed: Horde zombies save with map when they reach destination.
• Changed: Tools made from forged iron no longer break, but become unusable until repaired
• Changed: Increased the amount of repair forged iron provides to degraded tools.
• Changed: Buttons on the map now highlight whenever you hover over them.
• Changed: Player stats refresh less per second.
• Fixed: Harvest HUD showing -1 to +2 when picking up an item dropped via mouse or drop action.
• Fixed: Minibike screen text stays on screen after picking up chassis.
• Fixed: Skills sometimes not able to be hovered or selected.
• Fixed: Item degradation breaks not being used without degradation section.
• Fixed: Items breaking after use when set not to.
• Fixed: Added repair to ladders.
• Fixed: Waterflow re-enabled. Water performance on deep lakes improved.
  [Note: water blocks under at least 6 water blocks/voxels will not reduce their emission count so as to keep large lakes from recalculating the entire lake. Blasting holes near the surface, or shoreline, of a lake will still cause some performance loss but much less than before and will NOT flatten out the entire lake, keeping performance light]
• Fixed: Drinking water with hands & NRE fix.
• Fixed: Minibike parts not visible to others in MP.

Note: we are working on the mysterious bad framerate and high ram usage being reported on servers only and have some un-tested fixes in the works stay tuned.
