This allows animations to be interruptible, which makes movement feel more fluid without impacting gameplay.
#Steam dead realm update#
We wanted to update the animations and add transitions while keeping the same input, speed, velocity, and acceleration, without latency.

There has also been an update to the crawl animation – you can now stop crawling at any point in the cycle, as well as slowing down the turn and adding a transition to give more of an immersive look and feel. The update also includes a new Flashlight idle pose, and you can now use the Flashlight while crouching. In addition, whereas before when the Survivor was changing direction it was just a blend, now we have all the 180/90-degree transitions in every Health State. The states where the Survivor is injured now have longer cycles with more variation to really get the feel of stumbling when injured.

The new locomotion system also consists of updated walk, run and crouch animations in both Injured and Healthy states. One example is the new standing-to-walking and walking-to-standing animations - before the update, these were just a blend in the engine. With these new animations, we needed to create transitions in and out of these states. What is the locomotion update? What exactly is changing?ĭP: For the updated locomotion system, a new pose and new animations were created for when Survivors are standing, crouching, or crawling. We are also working on a bunch of updates for Survivor models – I cannot say more for now, but I’ve seen the first results and it looks really promising. The idea is to make them more beautiful without changing the look and personality of each character. JF: YES! Some Killers will receive the same treatment as The Nurse and The Clown. This is the first Realm Beyond update to feature Character Models – should players expect more of these kinds of changes in future updates? We reworked the textures of the hands, including The Clown’s weapon and bottles, to have them look better when in FPV. In the case of The Clown, who is not as that old compared to others like The Nurse, the main goal was to update the First-Person View (FPV), which meant updating what the player sees in the Killer’s point of view. Updated Nurse Model What has changed in The Clown’s update?ĭD: When we started talking about updating the character models, we knew that older Killers would require more of an update than some of the more recent additions to Dead by Daylight. The biggest challenge was mostly updating our pipeline using scans. You can see in the end result that there is a big difference between the old outfit and the new one. Since the goal was to push the quality, we decided to use 3D scanned models and textures as a reference to achieve a high level of detail. The Nurse was created before this new process, so the first task was to give her a base body. The more recent process for each new character is to create a “naked body” model that acts as the base for every other outfit we create for that character. Since then, we have changed the process for how we design new characters. What was the process for updating The Nurse? Were there any big challenges?ĭD: When Dead by Daylight first launched in 2016, we did not imagine the success or the number of different outfits we would do in the future. With this new update, players will be able to see the first changes on other areas that we really want to improve through the Realm Beyond project: Characters and Animations. As we mentioned during the 4th Anniversary, the Realm Beyond is about way more than just map reworks. JF: For the first few updates, we focused mostly on Level Art with reworks of several Realms.
