Items
Currently, one issue we have observed in our game is that build paths between tiers of items are very costly and the tree system doesn't give the player limited legendary item choices when building a tier 1 item, which essentially locks that player into that specific item tree from the start. Changing from a tree based system to a recipe based system should not only allow players to build multiple components to an item and for smaller upgrade costs, but also allows the player more build diversity since lower tier components now build into far more legendary items.

This update will be a large step towards full release, we have prepared this blog full of information on what this work entails, and we are happy to provide yet another inside look into Fault development!

Character Pipeline & Per Hero Animation Packs‍
In order for our character workflow to stream data in & out smoothly, but also to limit the art, technical art, and programming time spent per character in our pipeline, the number of movement animations used in our use case received a trim compared to what is used in a typical third person shooter.
