HOTFIX: Mods are back! Sorry about that everyone. Also fixed some bugged trees in Modern City.



Hello everyone! In this exciting update, we focus on performance and pathfinding improvements. Here is the list of what's changed.


- 30-40% performance increase. This means larger battles at higher FPS.

-Massive pathfinding improvements. Path searching up to 3 times faster, and improved path sharing in groups.

- Another 30% performance increase can be obtained using threaded rendering in experimental beta version.(see instructions below on how to activate).

-Project was upgraded to Unity engine 2018, which contributed to some of the performance increase.

-Multi core CPUs are better utilized.

-Bug fixed which caused units to become 'brain dead' and walk continuously in one direction.

-Invisible/pink Tornado trooper bug fixed.

-Walls added to the cliff edges in Atlantis City.



WANT ANOTHER 30% PERFORMANCE BOOST?!

Instructions:

- Right click on UEBS in your Steam library and click properties.

- Go to the 'Betas' tab and select the 'uebsmultithreaded' beta. Launch game.


This will activate an experimental build of the game. It uses a Unity engine feature which better handles large amount of characters being rendered.
BEWARE. This feature is not stable on all machines, and it known for crashes. So do not be surprised if you experience crashes. If you are experiencing too many problems, please revert to the 'default' build.


Well I hope you enjoy this lightning fast performance upgrade everyone!

Regards,

Robert.

Hello everyone! We have a big update for you today!


Notes:

- 2 new maps are now live. 'City Of Atlantis' & 'War Torn'.

- New "groups" added to battle editor. Allows you to have multiple armies on one team. Each team can have 9 separate armies.

-Inverted mouse is now a thing! You can chose to have inverted mouse on fly cam or in possession/fps mode.

-Super speed boost added to fly cam mode. Double tap shift to activate!

-Ranged units now have farther attack range when they have the high ground.

-AI vision and enemy choosing has been drastically improved. They are far more likely to spot an enemy as they get closer even in massive confusing battles.

-Rare bug which would break ranged units from firing projectiles is fixed.


The Maps:

-Atlantis city is a massive sprawling city for you and your armies to explore. The city has 2 sides with 3 bridges connecting the 2 sides. This beautiful city is in a deep canyon with water falls and lush trees surrounding the city.

- War torn is a open map with a desert like environment. A massive wall separates the 2 sides with multiple choke points. Parts of the wall can be navigated by the AI, so set up your ranged defenses wisely!


Thank you for being awesome everyone!

Regards,

Robert.

A big update is on the way! Two new exciting maps, as well as new features and fixes. We have been listening carefully, and as we have said, updates will continue. Please let us know what you would like to see from this update in the comments below!

It feels great to finally show you guys what we have been working on for the past 7 months. Today marks the 1 year anniversary of UEBS, and what better time to reveal our next project. Please take some time out of your day to view the trailer, if you like it, give it a thumbs up and follow the facebook page!


The Game:

The Black Masses is a highly ambitious first person open world RPG developed by a small team @Brilliant Game Studios. It features the record breaking crowd rendering technology from our previous title, Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator. TBM is set in a massive medieval fantasy setting on a 16 sq-km island. Fight off tens of thousands of demon possessed souls while trying to solve the mysteries of what started the satanic uprising. Traverse any obstacle with our revolutionary climbing/parkour system. Level up your skills and become a god among men.

Thank you everyone for your amazing support!



Note: Some of you have voiced your opinion about UEBS being abandoned. I've stated that Black Masses has been in development for over 6-7 months. During that time, UEBS has seen multiple updates. UEBS is now one year old as of today and has grown a great deal. UEBS will continue to see updates over the next year. Try to keep in mind that we are an ambitious team who are always looking to try new things and go where no one else has. Progress cannot be made without change.

Regards,

Robert.
