I just got out of Anders Caspersson's GDC talk, Dust 514: Reflecting the Universe, and took a few screens from his presentation:
This is what a district looks like on the backend
District combinations
Streaming possibilities
New vegetation screenshot (much more dense than I expected)
Some bit of info:
- Atmosphere and moods can/will affect everything from surface infrastructure to weapons. He mentioned that your weapons could have view model textures swapped to show desert camo for desert battles or winter camo for winter, etc.
- After he showed the battle for Caldari Prime vid he mentioned it was leaked on accident. Which explains why there was no official announcement about it.
- I tried to trick him into telling me about a PC release, he locked right up and shook his head prompting me to change the subject. Before I did, he made sure to mention that the screens from the presentation were rendered on a PC.
- The (PC) screens he showed of the new terrain moods and textures looked great.
Some questions I asked after the talk:
Q. Why was there a move away from Carbon to Unreal engine?
A. It was a decision made very early on in development to help with rapid deployment and because Carbon was primarily built for FiS (flying in space) and not with Dust in mind.
Q. Is there built in support for varying vehicle traction in the terrain maps? (requested by Ironwolf in IRC)
A. Yes, there should be, but we don't have it functioning right now (no solid answer on whether it will be full featured in the May release)
Q. Will there be more than 2 terrain maps and 3 battle grounds in the May 6th release.
A. (small bit about "don't quote me on this") There will most likely be 3 terrain maps and 5 battle ground in the May 6th release.
There is another talk tomorrow, if I get any more relevant info, I'll update this thread. |

Most GDC talks are posted on GDC Vault after the summit. Hopefully this one is. |

He mentioned storm, rain, and none. Others will probably be coming, but that's all he confirmed. |
