Work together or compete with friends in new ways, like:
Player actions can affect:
Now teams or individual players may trigger a victory or defeat. All players can also win together.
New camera animations can be used to make the end game sequence look more polished.
Behind the scenes, a lot more is possible for creators to build more interesting quests you'll enjoy.
For now, the UI looks and feels the same for the player and the creator, but your actions could trigger quests differently depending on the gameplay design.
These are only a few options now that Objectives are easier to integrate with other logic, like game mechanics:
All players need to collect a certain amount of resources together
Your team must divide and conquer to gather information to solve a puzzle
You're choosing your own adventure in an open multiplayer world
A few small updates can go a long way for gameplay that is more polished and reactive:
An object's purpose or status may change one moment and trigger different interactions
Detection logic may be more sophisticated
You may need to equip an avatar or equipment NFT to unlock gameplay, not just own it
Light may be used differently, especially around players
Netcode, memory, CPU, and graphics optimisation for reduced network issues, better performance, and faster loading times for all experiences.
