Hey Guys, Thank-you so much for all your support since the launch of Arken Age!
Today we're releasing an update with a ton of quality of life improvements/ bug fixes and the addition of our custom LIV creator camera!
One of the coolest features is the Player/ Enemy POV mode that can record from your point of view and cycle to enemies point of view for some pretty awesome gameplay footage! The LIV Settings include:
Selfie Mode / First-Person Camera / Third-Person Camera
Player POV/ Enemy POV/ and Player + Enemy Cycling POV Modes
Additionally Field of view, Smoothing, Cycle Time and Camera Angle/ placement can be adjusted
Our personal favorite is the Third-person Player & Enemy POV with a 3 second Cycle time:
*Lastly Steam Auto Cloud is now configured to save your Profiles (Profile_1-3.json) and will sync the next time you start the game.
Here's a full list of all the changes, thanks again for your support! -VitruviusVR
