BEWARE v015

Hey everyone,

v015 is here, which marks the return of the pokeys, guarding the refinery area. The new pokeys were quite a challenge to setup properly - first I thought I'd just recycle the old CarX setup from "Region 7/9" by copying the different values to VPP, but that didn't yield the expe...

BEWARE new subscription price increase starting July 1st, 2025

Dear patrons,

I've tried to not contribute to the vicious circle of inflation by keeping the subscription price at 5$ for the last 7 years. Since then, everything is roughly 75% more expensive + the U.S. dollar is being devalued, and it's becoming difficult to survive financially.

Starting on July 1st, the monthly updates tier will increase to 8$/month.

According to Patreon, ...

BEWARE v014

Just uploaded v014 :) I'll be adding proper info tomorrow.
For now; there's a new camping site, before the coal mine, where you can save by parking the caravan there. If your framerate is struggling in the mine, disable both cars - it will help.
Have fun with the trucks!

So here we go, a...

Change of plan

Hey everyone, hope you had a good start into 2025! Here's the latest from me: I got stuck while finishing work on the new camping grounds above the surface mine, so I switched to other tasks:

1) Implemented a new soft-body-esque damage system

2) Further work on sound

3) Tweaking the driving AI code & vehicle setup

4) Improving shadow performance

5) Preparing ad...

Hello everyone, hope you're all doing fine, despite the high petrol prices. Here's an in-depth account of what I've been working on since the release of BEWARE v013:

BEWARE v013

v013 is out! This update introduces a new detection system for the enemies that simulates what they actually see. While there is still room for improvement on its broader implementation, the visual analysis part offers some pretty neat gameplay possibilities: not only do headlights on/off make a diffe...

Dear patrons, happy, and quite relieved, to be finally able to release v012! Thank you all very much for your patience.

BEWARE - autumn info about the state of development

Hello everyone! First of all, I hope you're all doing good in these now seemingly never-ending challenging times. For my part, living in Germany now, I can say that the doomsday predictions are not happening. Yet. Knocking on wood.

Here's a brief description of what I've been working on during the past months.

1) First of all, although the preliminary work on adapting the driving AI...

BEWARE v011

Hello everyone, finally v011 is here! Apologies for the extra delay, been getting aprox. 20 frames a second so I had to do some additional optimizing. Now getting 50-60 fps on my now dated rig: i7 4790K + GTX1060

My fastest time traveling from starting point to the big city was about 45 minutes - and yes, finally, the game's world is vast enough for captivating car chases and for the stor...

info and changelog for upcoming update

Hello everyone, hope you're all OK! despite all the madness.

It's been a long time for me working on the upcoming update, and everytime I thought I was close to releasing, I thought of another fine feature I should add, and it went on like that until now, where I think it's close to ready. This is a list of what I worked on in the past months:

BEWARE Last Region

Dear Patrons,

I'm happy to release the last part of the map to you all! Finally. Still in WIP form, as usual, but it's very close to the final vision. Feel free to explore the area and do some virtual tourism. You'll find that some roads are blocked by traffic jams which won't be like that in the final. For the moment, it's not possible to turn on the electricity via power switch - althou...

BEWARE "studio" has moved

Dear Patrons,

just finished moving to another state. No doubt, the new premises will be positively contributing to the completion of the full game. Also finally got internet installed today, so all download links should be working fine again.

Cheers, 

Ondrej

BEWARE region 7/9

Dear patrons,

very happy to present you the newest update, which was quite challenging to design and create. I'll keep the description short as I'm very interested in how you'll experience this.

Very shortly: Let the light guide you, the power can be switched on by gently colliding with the power switch box (no need to pull the handle via mouse interaction anymore). Also, the road l...

The road ahead

Dear patrons,

 I just uploaded an optimized version of v008P - the link is in the "BEWARE voo8 Preview" post. On my rig, I'm getting roughly 20fps more, hopefully you will see  a significant performance increase on your end too. This is good news regarding the merging of the old and new maps. I've also learned quite a bit more about optimizing, and pinpointed those elements that...

BEWARE voo8 Preview

Dear patrons,

I hope you're all well. Finally, decided to first release a preview of v008 as it will take me more time to integrate the new additions especially in terms of performance. So this is basically a separate version of everything I worked on during the last 5 months. Definitely getting close to my vision although it's still a WIP. Feel free to do some virtual tourism, exploring ...

Signal from the euro-zone

Hello everyone, I sincerely hope all of you are safe and well amidst these chaotic times.

Concerning BEWARE, I'm happy to say it's business as usual for me, as I continue to work hard on v008, despite the lockdown and all.

Stay sane and beware, best wishes,

Ondrej

BEWARE v007

Happy holidays everyone! That one roadblock is now gone - here's a WIP version of the new landscape, now 3x bigger than the original.

A few precautions: 

* Best to turn off shadows as they will flicker due to floating point precision issues

* Framerate is sub-optimal now - but still playable

Beware autumn update

Dear Patrons,

after the deadline has been postponed many times, the Apple Arcade game I've been working on has finally been submitted today. Hurrah! This means I can finally get back to Beware :) I was already able to work a bit on the native VR version and just posted a download link for that - but judging from your past feedback (thank you!), I feel priority should be the non-VR version...

BEWARE v006 VR

The very first WIP of the VR version.

Only tested on Oculus Rift S - getting 40-80fps depending on setting/situation. Turning off ASW helps a bit with the framerate (and not sure how ASW is supposed to be beneficial, because when on, the framerate still stutters). Resolution scale is now set to 0.8 to help with performance, which will need many more tweaks in the future. I also had to dis...

[test] BEWARE v006v - will the fog work now via the VR plugin? [test]

Dear Patrons!

first of all big thanks for your heartwarming feedback to my last post - very much appreciated and gives me food for thought. I'll get back to you asap :)

This is just a small test - here's a slightly modified version called v006v: 2019-09-30 18:21:53 +0000 UTC View Post

Thank you 2.0 & latest news!

Dear Patrons, first of all big thanks for your ongoing support! Here's the latest news:

Back in December 2018, I was contacted by an Australian studio to help them work on a game (codename: UOT2) for Apple Arcade - I decided to accept, mainly because I was getting more and more into debt, with monthly expenses around 2.5K, for rent, school & kindergarten fees and feeding a family of f...

BEWARE v006

[Edit 10.03] - car repair & upgrade was broken - now fixed :)

Dear Patrons, v006 is here,

A new network of dirt roads has been added to the northern part (see map below for directions) - it is designed a bit like a labyrinth and will eventually lead you to the entrance of a secluded area in a dark forest. I've placed a hint there to guide you but you'll most probably ...
