Welcome to this weeks update on IBT Survival Island.
Another super quick update this week, work continues and we spent time on the front menu system
Using a Matinee approach we can dynamically change the background and it allows us to be able to display an actual ingame background rather than a movie in UE4.
By doing this you can add random events unlike a movie that is already fixed. The title screen we are currently working on uses matinee instead of a fixed image or movie. Another benefit is its great as a screen saver if you have to walk away from your pc for a long period of time. This would stop what they call a "burn in" on the pixels on your monitor. Matinee can also be used to make real-time in game movies and events but soon will no longer be available due to some changes that will be happening to UE4. The good news is any matinee movies/events that are already made can be converted to the new system.
The above is what the editor looks like while making the title screen.
And that's it for this week - Cheers and Steemon!
