Hello, BIGFOOT hunters!

We have been working on the transition to version 5 of Unreal Engine these months. Much work has been done to adapt the project to new engine systems.

The game now supports the new Lumen global illumination system. Thanks to this, the lighting has become more realistic and pleasant. We also redesigned many objects in the game.

We can't wait to hear your feedback. You can send us your wishes, noticed bugs, or ideas using the report form in the main menu of the game or in our Discord community.

Please completely reinstall the game before playing!

What are the main changes in the new update?

EOS integration and crossplay

The game now has integration with the Epic Online Subsystem. Since there are no dedicated servers in Bigfoot, this is the most convenient and reliable way for us to implement crossplay between Steam and EGS. Linking Steam and EGS accounts is required for online play.

With this update, the profile level in the game will be reset and in the future, we plan to add an in-game reward system to the levels.

New buildings

To support lumen global illumination, we had to redesign the building models. Now they are much better quality and optimized.

New trees

In addition to new models and high-quality distant sprites, trees received roots that adapt to the shape and texture of the ground surface.

New cliffs

Not only the form but also the material was changed. Cliffs and rocks now blend better with the environment due to the ground texture projection system.

XBox Controller support

Implemented all interactions for XBox controller and binding settings but text input using the virtual keyboard has not yet been implemented. We are waiting for your feedback.
