First time playing around with menu music. 2 separate layers to give a nice transition when you enter the game by turning off the drum track and then slowly fading out the synths

PVP NOW WORKS!!!

Next up will be taking damage instead of instant death. Most important part was the death mechanic itself and the respawn.

Started working on a looting mechanic for cars last night. Started with hinge points / rotation constraints in blender and then brought it into threejs as animations.
Will make a #devlog to cover the setup of this too!

Just rolled out the first in a few major performance updates. Should be noticeably smoother on laptop/desktop devices. Mobile performance still to come. Will be covering the main points in the next #devlog

Biggest update to date out now! Procedural terrain / vegetation generation across networked clients & shadow map updates correctly now with the player moving. Also fixed some movement bugs.

Fixed a bug with the physics world not destroying bodies after a player disconnects. 40 active connections with a cpu load of 65% with just very basic optimisation seems amazing. This is on a €3.20 / month hetzner instance...

Weekend progress: Server generates procedural chunks & sends out to all connected clients + physics mesh automatically matches the terrain! Need to fix the tiling now (im assuming its the shadowmap as the next chunk was missing when it was updated)
