Fall/autumn update

The 3rd and last part of the campaign is progressing steadily. Most of the new areas are being laid out, blocked, and fleshed out. Scripting the final quest is also making good progress.

No solid ETA yet but I'm pushing to have it ready the soonest.

Here's a fresh batch of screenshots showcasing the new WIP areas.

A functional highway system is being built with proper exits, ramps, signage, barriers, tunnels...

You have captured the Mediterranean feel with this shot/composition (limestone/grass rolling hills, crisp blue sea, umbrella pine trees, colorful flower beds, warm sunny day...); I feel right at home

Great shot and awesome work so far; looking forward to the final form. Keep it up

I've been meaning to watch it for over a year but finally got to do it this week.

Stalker (1979) based loosely on the 1972 sci-fi book Roadside Picnic (The game Stalker borrows elements from both the movie and the book)

A vineyard and wheat field in the countryside

The third and last part of the campaign is progressing; most of this last map is still barebone WIP but some parts are starting to come alive.

I'm also creating some custom materials/textures with proper blending masks to be used on the terrain. A new side quest is also under planning.

asking the real questions

The way things are shaping up, it seems the story and replayability factor will be tremendous elements of this game.

The player choices will not only change the story, gameplay, and AI stance, it will literally change the city's visuals depending on your actions and interactions with different factions and AI.

This is like "Deus Ex" in overdrive

Gas prices are gonna go up

Thanks.

My aim is to have this custom campaign feel like a continuation of the main game in terms of visuals and story/quest.

You can create and import your own custom materials/textures, models/meshes, dialogs, sounds, music, scripts, heightmaps, terrain brushes, foliage system, particles, etc...

You can also customize stock NPCs to your liking (AI, looks...) among many, many other things you can perform. Extremely versatile engine, no limits

Got the AvP reboot for about a dollar during the last steam sale, and I'm about to install it and start playing this week.

It's been around 17 years since I played AvP2 and I just need some predator action

Very powerful set of developer tools; just go to your steam library and download them under "tools" section if you already own the game.

limitation is one's own creativity and a slightly tough learning curve.

It takes a bit of time to get into the tools but once you do, sky's the limit.

I'm having a blast working with the tools and discovering new things every time I work on new sections of my campaign. It would be rather difficult going back to certain cough...old...cough convoluted, non-streamlined engines once I finish with my campaign; the good news though is that Dying Light 2 is around the corner with a brand new powerful C-Engine that hopefully will come with new, even more powerful dev tools to play with for the next gen games/maps. (last resort, Unity and UE4 are always one call away)

A dark underground warehouse you say? What could possibly go wrong?

New areas, part of a side quest that takes the player through and beneath a pet food factory in the countryside.
