Engine
The majority of the Engine team’s work last month involved preparing for CitizenCon.
“All teams were hands on deck to deliver features and support other teams on work related to what we showed at CitizenCon. This is always an interesting time, as it is very stressful but also rewarding when everything comes together due to the focused effort.” Engine Team
The Core Engine team primarily worked on bug fixes for the live release, including some long-standing memory leaks on the live server.
The Physics team focused on delivering improvements to the Maelstrom destruction system and cloth and hair tech.
Lastly, the Entity System Tech team supported the Online team to deliver the Server Meshing demo while continuing to work on editor entity streaming.
Graphics, VFX Programming & Planet Tech
For the Graphics, Planet Tech, and VFX Programming teams, the majority of October was spent polishing the many features demonstrated at CitizenCon, including the water simulation, global illumination, Maelstrom, fire, and rifle scopes.
The Vulkan sub-team continued tackling the remaining performance and stability issues, which all need to be addressed before a public beta test can be considered.
