General Information
Hello everyone! As you may know, Orion has officially been out for a year and is approaching 6 additional months from when this message was released (11/01/2022). That said, we believe it is time for an official revamp.
The proposed revamp will improve and implement everything Orion does not currently have, including a majorly enhanced map, an abundance of new features and interactive processes, an updated vehicle platform, and much more. Below, is a more detailed list of what is planned/expected.
More information pertaining to the revamp will be released more frequently within our Discord server!
Planned
Buildings & Map Development
New/Revamped Map which will include the following (and much more);
- New/Remodeled Buildings
- Reconfigured Roads and Major Highways
- Reconfigured Terrain
- Map Expansion
- New Houses
Vehicles & Chassis
- Many New/Remodeled Vehicles
- Law Enforcement Vehicles (w/ proper ELS)
- Revamped Handling Line & Processes
- Blindspot Monitoring to select vehicles
- Migration to a New Vehicle Platform
Game Features and Interactive Processes
- Vehicle Safety Systems Revamp (Blindspot Monitoring & AEB as well as revamped TCS/ESC & ABS)
- Radio (w/ muffle, pitch control & volume control)
- New Police Gear & Items
- Interactive Jobs
- Improved House Claims (better UI, ability to customize house color, roof color, add roommates, and more)
Misc
- Revamped Environment (Time, Lighting, Weather, Sounds & more)
- Revamped UIs & Menus
- Revamped Settings (Rendering, Graphics, Tree Count, Detail, Shadows & much more to accommodate performance on certain devices)
- Mobile Support
The list above details specifically what we want to get done and while most of the features on that list will make it to the revamp, some won’t due to a lack of resources, time, etc.
Now, due to the extent of this revamp, the frequency of updates for Orion will slow down immensely and that is so that we can allocate the resources to provide this revamp accordingly. We apologize for the inconvenience that this will cause however it is imperative that we execute this plan correctly in order to complete this much-needed revamp.
We ask that you remain patient and respectful during the development of Orion’s Revamp - we promise it will be worth it!
