There are some things you may find in this update that are unfinished. You may notice a lot of gear clipping and wounds not showing up on certain body parts. This is because I need to update every clothing and gear model to support this system. These things will take time.

It's been a while. I've had quite a few events that have hindered me being able to work on this game. From a small motorcycle accident to catching covid it has been a really long time since any updates have hit Steam. The game is not dead but progress is slow.

I've made more progress on the vehicle system, this is pretty insignificant of a change, but everything takes time, and the finished system will be worth the wait.
New improvements to the overall quality and presentation of the menu UI and display. This has mostly been a side product of me practicing animations. Eventually there will be animations for each weapon which will improve the overall quality and look of the customization screen.
Some of you may recognize the way these icons look. Anyways, I've been improving on my C++ skills recently and have been working on a new customizable feature for custom soldiers that Players will be edit and share with each other, it will be the most early form of "Modding" for Warbox. More on this soon.
In other parts not shown here I've been working on AI behaviours for when they drop their weapons. This has been a major issue with the current AI. Getting knocked down dropping your weapon and slowly jogging toward the enemy is not how someone in combat should react. Expect to see this solved with 0.0.4.6.

With all that out of the way, I'm planning the release of 0.0.4.6 no later than the end of this month.

See you soon,
Mantaliss.

Still solving issues related to game size and the packaging process. Please bear with me.
