There has been a few efforts over the years to create MS in newer engines. * MS:Source - as the name suggests was a remake in the Source Engine. Was never completed. * MS:Unity - a remake in the Unity Engine. Was never completed. * MS:Reforged - a remake in Unreal Engine, currently in the...

Yes, and you can find people to play with here: https://discord.gg/WSf7Ye2 I think the best answer to this is "to some degree", but the people in the discord will have better knowledge of that. Short answer, not on msremake.com, but there is a community effort to continue development here...

I'll take my Skinner's Box thank you.

I'm all for as simple as possible, but as complicated as necessary. The stats should be concise to the gameplay they convey.

What is it exactly about the save data that makes it so it loads in the old patch, but not in the new alpha? It seems to me like whatever change in format there is, a tool can be written to swallow an old-format save file and spit a new-format save file out with the same stats/items, non? Or am...

Love it! Amazing job as always! I vote that next milestone is that there is a Giant Rat that exists in the world, and that you can hit with the sword, and that can take damage and die. That is where the first gameplay loop is.

I agree, inconsistency breaks immersion and atmosphere.

Very nice, those models look amazing. And the interactions with the inventory panel look very smooth. Are you still doing true fps camera, and how does that interact with the helm? It might be cool if the helm shows in first person, but it might also become annoying. Anyway very exciting...

Found this old piece on Gamasutra: https://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/FabricePiquet/20180621/320400/True_First_Person_Camera_in_Unreal_Engine_4.php

BoneWorks also nailed first person camera imo.

I think it's one of those cases where you just have to try out a couple of different options. Maybe even have multiple options implemented and have them switchable from options/console. I think Dark Messiah og Might and Magic nailed the first person feel with the camera. They had a quite high...

As for the placement of the camera, I think you may have to may have to attach it to a socket in the model, for when running/crouching or maybe "spring" it to a position based on the head position of the character model.

I doubt you can make it smooth without clientside prediction when the latency is at 50ms or above, but I hope to be proven wrong. I am definitely for this! I feel it can improve immersion when done right.

Nice! Never played Morrowind, but I do remember Oblivion having a spell crafting system. Very interesting, I think it will be fun to balance. Would require some /r/theydidthemath. :P Especially if effects can trigger other effects. Looking forward to next update from you as always.

Question about abilities: So items can have abilities, but how will the architecture for that work? Something similar to how it is layed out for items? With base abilities and ability instances, to allow for reuse with different modifiers, perhaps based on level or stats of item or player?
