Root-bound custom animations are set! Time to get the Rifle animations done (since I finalized the gltf2ozz pipeline) and get VFX running! Time to throw each other to infinity and beyond!

Working on the Inverted Hull Cel Shading renderer and shaders right now. Slowly coming together. Cannot wait to show once it's done. The art is going to *POP*!

Here's an example of Black Holes and Gravity Manipulation in a 3D 3-Port View. This is a working example after debugging Continuous Collision Detection for players. Before this, players would be thrown Mach 4 into - and through - the terrain. Now, players stop abruptly, allowing the server to calculate their Mass and Velocity (as well as the properties of their equipment). This turns Players into High-Velocity Siege Weapons. Looking forward to testing some of the results.

Finally the Quaternius Models are swapped over to the RiftForged Shader System. Today I will be working within my HLSL shader system and C++ renderer to get the inverted hull cel shading down, make the models "pop", set up the full Socket Remap system and ID Canonization for each item. Then I will be going over loose ends in the alpha crafting systems and tightening them up to match the asset design system.

Progression and Ascension are done, Specializations are in game and some of the Physics Manipulation abilities have been tested. Black Holes work, Gravity Manipulations work - all that is left is to create the Arial Animation System, the RiftStep Targeting Hint System and update the combat to snap-to for Aerial attacks within a set distance.

Looking forward to watching everyone throw each other into the air and fly around!

Right now I am redesigning Quaternius Assets to match the Cel Shaded design and reworking the HLSL shaders to match tonight.

Huge thanks to those still following along on the journey.

Open Alpha is still live, with many changes coming like physics-manipulation abilities like black holes and aerial manipulation. Looking forward to showing off some of the mechanics.
