“Today’s update might be a little lighter on the tech side,” Mark Jacobs tells Camelot Unchained backers in his latest update, “but we have lots of art to show you as well.” Indeed, check out those trees. “Big trees. Like really big trees,” in a dense forest with climbable foliage. There are also some WIP model shots from the studio’s unfinished Place of Power (seen in the image above) and more work on the C.U.B.E. system that should have builder types excited.
“Over the last two years, we have talked about how C.U.B.E. and the building portion of Camelot Unchained was not going to simply be a Minecraft clone. One of the many ways we are fulfilling that promise is by allowing players to create and use round objects. This work-in-progress image shows our building morph technology being put through some tests. It is a cylinder morph around the Z (vertical) axis. Then another cylinder morph around the X axis was added, which combines all the changes of the original morph with itself. The result is that you get curvature around two axes. It’s definitely a WIP, but you can see how close we are getting to the point of bringing this to life inside the engine.”
This weekend, testers will be on a “major new version of [the] patcher. Check out the new images and the video update below!
