Michael Samyn's picture
Here's a second update on our progress remaking The Endless Forest in Unreal thanks to your contributions: http://olt.lt/ms/the-unreal-forest-step-2/
Access to the development log is free for backers. Email us if you need a discount code.



In this step we have added mouse and camera controls and the beginnings of a button bar with sit/stand and roar buttons. For this we learned how to do a lot of things in the Unreal Engine that will come in handy along the line.

Interesting. When colliding

Interesting. When colliding with that center deer it acted like there was an actual body there. Does this mean you will be using... what's it called in gaming/programming... collision stops/boxes/trees? Will deer no longer be able to go through each other? And what of the "Love Glow" as we call it? Just asking out of curiosity.

The collisions are just default Unreal Engine behavior. We will remove them. The aim is to make a faithful remake.

Forgive me if this isn't the appropriate place to offer this suggestion for the remake.

I'm wondering if it's possible for set casting not to be randomized? There have been instances throughout the years where the right set has taken over an hour to obtain.
So perhaps set pieces could always be casted in a specific order?

For example:
Magpie Mask > Kabuki Mask > Long Mask
Are always received in that order.

Would that be okay?

Uh oh, i just donated. It

Uh oh, i just donated. It went through so i tought that i'm not too late. (Please tell me i'm not too late again)

I got the email, but i wonder... how am i supposed to get the 3D "base" or what it is Laughing out loud i have this coffee place (where is alive bunnies too yay!) where i could print it out, but i don't have the "base" or what it is that you need to make the 3d model haha. Can i get it by email or?

And i'm happy that i could support you guys. (Still a bit salty to myself that i didn't get the money together when i was broke to get the perk i really wanted when there were more perk options available at indiegogo... ugh, i would have donated more with that option, but it's history and i will never get it so i need to get over this right here and now haha.)

SO, I want to thank for this awesome game and i can't wait to get my new PC to play it too Laughing out loud now it's been so long that i really miss the community out there! (: I've never met so friendly game-people before - in creative way! - in my life that i need it in my life back asap. I logged in few months ago, but i couldn't play it because it was lagging so bad i hardly got it shut down Laughing out loud but yeah, i miss you guys and can't wait to get to there again! See you at the forest <3
