Hey, storm chasers! Here's an update on the latest development progress for the game.
Reflectivity Scan
Velocity ScanThe radar and map system has been overhauled with new hover popups for warnings, a spotter network showing other players as green blips, and visibility for your placed probes and storm reports. Lightning bolts tracked by radar stations are now displayed, and there's an alert indicator in the top right showing the count and highest severity of active warnings.
Trees not visible in screenshot for development purposesAdded a minimap to the bottom left of the HUD for navigation and awareness.
Yellow/orange blips show short range stations, red blips show destroyed stationsShort-range radar stations (yellow/orange blips) have been added, similar to those found at airports and schools. Radar stations can now be destroyed and will show their last scan with a red blip indicator.
Radar station modelsAdded 3D models for radar stations.This is a smaller development update as I've been busy with final exams. At this point, the main tasks remaining before release are tweaking, bug fixes, and adding the rest of the vehicles and player outfits.
