Update, new 4some Shortclips

Hey everyone!

We hope you had a wonderful week!

We are very busy preparing the big update for May 28th!

Let's get right to it!

Optimizations

We are making great progress with the general performance of the game. We managed to identify quite a lot of culprits for the Island part and got rid of them. There is still more room for improvement, but we are also waiting for the next Engine Update, because the most taxing features will receive performance updates.

But the general things that needed optimizing are more and more optimized. We are aiming for Steam-Deck compatibility as well, so things need to be a bit smoother still. But we are getting there 💪

One of the optimizations was to switch from the really outdated Landscape drawing system, to Nanite. That saves us a full Millisecond (which is a lot!) with even better display of the Terrain. No more LOD (Level of Detail) required!

Another thing, that was a surprise, was that we had to tweak the windows of all the buildings. The Glass is now separate from the Window-Frame and the Material was updated so improve the performance.

We also have several tweaks to the lights. Like the draw distance, fade distance etc. It´s actually still very much work in progress because we have to tweak things quite a lot and test the balance of performance and looks.

"Onboarding"

We analyzed the Chargeback/Return surveys and found out, that many people don´t know what to expect from Treasure Island if we start it as we do right now. Because you have to finish Chapter 1 in order to finally shoot some Enemies. And many people don´t have the patience for that.

So we decided that we will add a very short, very easy "Onboarding - You get an idea of what the game also features from the start" Level at the very beginning. So new Players get to experience some Shooting action, and then we continue as usual with Chapter 1.

For that we also created a new Cutscene to make it even more exciting 😎

Fingers crossed it works!

Mocap was fun (and painful) for that! And since we have such a great workflow, it was done in a very short timeframe! Just 2 days. Ok, only 1 Character, no talking and so on, but still.

There are tons of other things we tweak & improve but we really need to focus on getting things done, so we keep the updates short.

Alright, that´s it for this week! We hope you enjoy this update and that you have a wonderful weekend ahead 🍹🏝️🥳

All the very best,
PM & Team
