Back again with another weekly update!
This week I focused a lot on Great-weapon game play and skills. They've needed some love for a while and I finally got around to improving them!

The newest addition to the great-weapon lineup are Ultraswords! These babies are slow and heavy, but pack a huge punch. Seriously, these weapons can send enemies flying.
Also, check out this ridiculously overpowered stab move. It's awesome.

Along with various new great-weapon skills, I also made huge improvements and optimizations on world spawning system. This new system allows me to easily specify spawn rates for wildlife, enemies and friendlies throughout various open world areas. Since the player will have an effect on the world around them, I needed a system that would allow the player to dynamically modify spawn rates of certain enemies and events. For example, if the player tends to allow Undead Rituals to complete in an area, that will influence the spawn rate for Undead enemies and events in the future. The system I had made previously wasn't too accepting of this system and made it difficult to dynamically change. With this new system, that is no longer a problem! The world will now adapt to how the player treats the inhabitants of a given area. This of course will need lots more work and balancing, but the foundations are now solid enough to begin that process!

Other than the new spawning system, I really went crazy with Ultraswords and abilities that can be used with them and other great weaponry (Greathammers, Greatclubs, etc.)
I'm absolutely loving the feel of these weapons, especially with this Monster Hunter inspired skill!.

I'm also in the process of making Slime-themed weapon sets! These will be made of Slimemetal, which, as you can imagine, is made from Slimes! The color of these transparent weapons will vary depending on the slime you use!
Here is a Slime-metal Ultrasword!



Well, that about wraps up the work I did this week! I do have some cool things in store for the coming months, so be sure to keep checking in! Thank you, everyone, for your continued support! (:

Have a fantastic weekend! See you next Friday!

Jedi: Survivor is currently in development at Respawn Entertainment by the same team behind 2019’s hit third-person, action-adventure game Star Wars Jedi™: Fallen Order. This narratively driven single player title picks up five years after the events of Jedi: Fallen Order and follows Cal & BD-1’s fight as the Galaxy descends further into darkness. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will be available in 2023.

Heyo! Hope everyone is enjoying the 0.14 update. Meanwhile, we are already working on 0.14.1! It will have some tweaks and additional fun stuff.

Welcome to another edition of the Community Crunch!

Our next free expansion map, Fjordur, is right around the corner. On Sunday, June 12th, prepare to dive into Nordic-inspired adventure with 4 new creatures (Andrewsarchus, Fjordhawk, Desmodus, Fenrir) that are native to Fjordur!

Traverse a fantastical multi-layered wonderland with a frosty Nordic theme. Four unique islands, Vardiland, Vannaland, Bolbjord and Balheimr, and the mystical realms; Jotunheim, Vanaheim, and Asgard, offer elaborate cave systems resplendent with Scandinavian ruins and vast monolithic entrances.



Fjordur is the second community map released with completely new creatures, and the second to include another creature chosen by the ARK community. As we near closer to the launch date on June 12th, we'll be sharing more information regarding the timing of the rollout and servers!

On December 1st 2021 just 13 days before Lost Island released, my Dad passed away and it hit me hard. I wanted to honor him in ARK somehow so once Lost Island came out and i got on a community server, I built a memorial for my Dad on a little cliff just outside the castle in the Redwoods castle and placed the dermis of a Direwolf on top as he had a picture of a wolf on his computer that he took when me and him went to Yellowstone. Today would have been his birthday. Miss you Dad ❤️
