#Camelot unchained open beta update

“It also means that if we can do that, but not require the best CPU/GPU to play, more people can play our game. “It is quite freeing in that way,” says the studio. During each stage we will use scenarios to test specific aspects of the game and gameplay as well as some open world testing. Worth noting is the devs aren’t necessarily saying that 2809 people is ideal for fights in the game the idea is that if the game can handle all of that in terms of rendering and networking, then the devs can layer in “NPCs, crazy siege engines, VFX, and more” and thereby “expand vision for what a battle can look and feel like.”

While there is still more work and performance improvement ahead, these numbers are much increased over our pre-Beta 1 numbers on the old system!” That’s a heck of an achievement for the team, especially when you think about the fact that ‘500 people in the same battle, at 30FPS’ was the goal we stated during the Kickstarter. And not 2,809 NPCs, but 2,809 connected clients, consuming bandwidth/servers like players and using the server-based physics system.

#Camelot unchained open beta update

We had over 2,809 (which is why the date for this update is 2809!) ARCs (Autonomous Remote Clients) and players moving around an open battlefield using abilities, more often than we expect most players to do! Wrap your heads around that folks: 2,809 players and ARCs running around the screen in the same battle, in a tiny, by industry terms, space. “That’s because of what our tests today showed as we continued our ongoing testing of the improved ability system. “How do you define a massively multiplayer battle? One of our Backers asked on our Forums whether, based on what they saw today, we should use a new phrase instead of ‘Massively Multiplayer’ to define our battles,” City State says in its latest newsletter. Die hausintern erstellte Unchained Engine liefert groß angelegte Echtzeitschlachten zwischen Spielern (bisher 1000 auf engstem Raum und noch mehr Im Verlauf der Beta 1), serverseitige Physik durch die Nutzung von Nvidias PhysX-System und enorme Sichtweiten, während das Gelände in Echtzeit prozedural generiert wird.

So what are they testing? The “massively multiplayer” part of the game’s warfare system. It’s still beta one it’s just that beta two donors are now playing too. Camelot Unchained’s beta has gotten a bit wider this week with the addition of more backers into the testing phase.
