Early Access Builds
In order to release it in a managed an timely manner, I’ll be providing Early Access Vertical Slice builds to Patron Backers of the new Massive Worlds Backer Tier (and up).
Vertical Slice builds, as they are released, will include an increasingly more complete version of the v1.2 MW Toolkit.
With new subsets of Blackbox HDAs that have been upgraded from Version 1.1 to Version 1.2. As well as updates to the Unreal components of the Massive Worlds Toolkit.
I’m also working with a team of artists to really bring the example level to life and put the finishing touches on the tools and the landscape material.
