Abandoned Dacha Environment is part of Senior Environment Artist Stanislav Petrushin's work on survival horror VR game Into The Radius 2. This showcase is a recreation of the VR version's environment in UE5, using project assets, utilizing Lumen lighting and native texture resolutions. Stanislav's goal was to reveal the "true" face and atmosphere of the architecture, free from the limitations that come with optimizing the environment for VR.
"When building large-scale, modular environments, make heavy use of Packed Level Actors (PLAs) and Level Instances. This makes it easy to sort and work on game environments, especially when working in a team." - Stanislav Petrushin

Every round is different thanks to gameplay-changing EVENTS! 🎬🔥
For example, the UFO Event 🛸 — a UFO takes over the studio and randomly lifts ALL players into the air, exposing hidden Props! 👀
No round plays the same! 🎥✨

ICYMI: A change in v42.10 increased island memory usage. We’re rolling it back in v42.20 to help prevent publishing issues for islands close to their memory limits.
If that sounds like your island, check the forums to see if you need to make any changes: fn.gg/v42-10-action
✅ We've identified the cause of the increased island memory usage following v42.10.
We're rolling back the change that caused this increase in v42.20 to help prevent publishing issues for islands near their memory limits.
UEFN developers, check the EDC forums to see if you need to make any changes: fn.gg/v42-10-action
