Fixed our procedural music system. It was previously stopping and also wasn’t playing tales to tracks.

Changed the endless arena level to properly be using level streaming.

Fixed the compiling shaders screen, it was previously not getting attached and wasnt updating its progress bar.

Spend most of the previous day working on the codex and the script for the intro and announcer tutorial barks. Coming along pretty nicely.

Adjusted the volume of the spell failed sound.

Added a particle effect for when you fail to cast a spell, the sound didn’t seem like enough to tell the player what was happening

Spent most of the day experimenting with the new Galaxy XR headset the hope is to port heartlands to it.

Also helped Jackie and Megan with VFX and material stuff respectively

Got spell casting finger animation kind of working, its not perfect because it isn’t blending perfectly with the regular hand animation, but its a great start!

Reduced the likelihood of NPC switching weapons from melee to another type, was happening far too often.

The grip line was still set to show debug on the weapons.

The debug information for magic strafing is now turned off.

Fixed a long standing bug where items like potions, books and misc objects would get duplicated in the inventory.

Fixed a few of the book objects compile errors

Removed a bunch of blocking loads that we had to have previously.

Been working on PSO caching and optimization stuff for the past two days. Not going great so far. The compiling shaders screen takes over 5 minutes to run on headset not exactly reasonable in my opinion. That being said compiling our shaders removes a lot more of our stutters than i expected!

Wrote a new system to Instance the crowd actors went from around 1300 draw calls down to around 30!

Game is now running at 72 with spacewarp 55 without
