Update 3.4
Floor Loot is finally here. It's about damn time.
Terra is Going Out-of-Season
Starting with v3.4, Terra is going Out-of-Season for the first time ever. Following the cancellation of Vanguard, I took a bit of time to rethink my approach to Terra for the rest of 2024. After some time, I decided it was best to pull Terra out of Origins and into an Out-of-Season state, as all Origins-related content has been released.
A multitude of changes such as a loot pool rework, Origins-exclusive content removal, and various map changes have been made in order to put Terra into this Out-of-Season state.
Regarding the next major season of Terra: development is currently underway. Currently, I have it slated for Late 2024 - Early 2025, as I really want to take my time with it and make sure that I can ship the best experience possible.
Gameplay Updates
Floor Loot
Floor Loot is finally here!
189 Total Spawn Locations
Only 100 items will spawn per match.
Due to UEFN constraints, only 100 items are able to spawn at once. I am unable to bypass this.
Weapons and Consumables will spawn in an even 50:50 ratio. You should expect to find each type of item equally.
Floor Loot can be found at the following locations:
Ruler's Rise
Griffin's Glen
Wildwood Town
Treetop Town
Munchy Marina
Cornerside Cargo
Mountainside Motel
Jetstream Junction

Floor Loot will not spawn at Landmarks, Basic Structures, or Crumbling Castle.

Battle Mods Removed
After a LOT of thinking, I've decided that Terra is better off without Battle Mods for now. The initial vision for Battle Mods were more in line with playable characters in class-based shooters, such as Overwatch or Apex Legends. Battle Mods will return eventually, but for now they'll be unavailable.
Driftboards Return
First found in the Summer Splash 2023 event, Driftboards have returned once more.
Detailed Notes:
Fuel Consumption is Disabled
Vehicle Health - 600
Upon Entering the Vehicle, Summer Tunes will Begin to Play.
Miscellaneous Changes
Vaulted Nitro Fangs
Gas Pumps are no longer marked on the Overview Map.
Gas Pumps remain usable, although they do not have a use as of now.
Vaulted the Infinity Blade
Lil' Whip felt the blade was a bit too strong, so he's taken matters into his own hands.

Miscellaneous Updates
Removed the Cartoon Outline Post Process Effect
I felt that the Cartoon Outline effect didn't quite fit the visual style I'm going for, so I've removed it for now. It may return in the future.
Map Ambience Updated
Random SFX such as gusts of wind or birds chirping now have a chance to randomly play every 5 - 30 seconds.
The ambient audio that plays in-game should now be more dynamic.
Removed most Lore-Related locations.
I'm currently rethinking my approach to the storyline, so I've decided to remove most map changes that were building up towards Vanguard.
Slipstream Textures Updated
Final Notes
That's all there is! This update will drop at 12:00 PM PST on 07.06.24, have fun exploring all that's new when it's available!
Additional Note: I apologize for the recent hiatus and how it came at the worst possible time, I promise I won't do anything like that again. I'll be repurposing scrapped Vanguard content for other projects, so if you're interested in any of that I'd recommend keeping your eyes open!
