The Endless Forest remake update

We have posted a progress report on the remake of The Endless Forest on the development log: http://olt.lt/ms/the-unreal-forest-step-1

Backers get free access.
You can still join them!



To summarize, we have solved two major challenges: wrapping the forest so it is endless, and seeing other players across the borders. But creating a dedicated server in Unreal is a convoluted process that may require a new computer with a more recent 64 bit operating system. We're also digging up the many old models and textures that make up the game in our amateur-era archives and converting then to modern file formats.

We are very pleased with the results so far and eager to continue the work.

See you in The Old Forest!

J!n, as i know, the effect of

J!n, as i know, the effect of "endlessness" is achieved by specific fixed camera angle. If the camera was free to fly you could see the "seams" of the world.
At least that's how i understand the effect.
Mel in ore, verba lactis,
Fel in corde, fraus in factis.

I really must ask this right

I really must ask this right here and right now:

At Indiegogo there are the 10 perks showing up, but at http://endlessforest.org/fundraising/ there are only 6 perks... so are all the 10 perks still available or not?

And also this may be a silly guestion, but if there are the first/previous perks will they be achieved too if you support with more money? I mean (haha i'm terrible at explaining this at this moment i dunno why, sorry about that. There's something going on between my ears that i don't know) if there is for example tagged, forest fan, forest collector and forest lover perks and i decide to take the forest lover pack, then will i get all the awesome stuff mentioned in every perk/pack before the forest lover (and of course forest lover stuff too) OR only forest lover + forest collector stuff without any other stuff from previous perks/packs?

Now i have the money to support you guys, but at the website there's missing the perk- package- thing i really want, but at the indiegogo there is the one! What should i do to get the stuff i want? : D i'm afraid that i will mess something up if i decide to move my money now when i'm excited...

Sorry if these huge guestionmarks of mine are too obvious for everyone else (except me) and you have to type a reply with an facepalm : D

Nima - You get all perks

You get all perks leading up to (as well as) the perk you donate toward. So yeah, you get everything.

The six perks are the same as their namesakes on IndieGogo, with the exception the omitted perks which will remain exclusive to the IndieGogo backers.
