ANBW ALPHA 5.0.0 RELEASE CENSORED
Added 2023-10-08 01:47:09 +0000 UTCHey there, Science Team!
First of all: THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT so far and we hope this build is going to give you an idea of the scope we are going for with this game. It´s kinda big.
Hot Quicktip: Press ALT to lock and unlock the camera.
This build is marked PRE ALPHA because there are many new and experimental systems in place:
Character Spline Movement System
Genital Spline Movement System
Revamped Cinematic Storytelling Pipeline
Revamped Character Creator
Revamped True First Person Player Character
Full Overhaul on Animation Processing
Fully Rebuilt Sandbox aka Sandbox V2
Virtual Little Tokyo Full City Loading System
Full Revamp of the Outfit System
Procedural Head Orientation System
Below (KNOWN BUGS & ISSUES) you can find a number of issues and possible solutions when interacting with this PRE ALPHA build of ANBW.
This is a Pre-Alpha build, so there is definitely going to be some scuff. If you prefer a cleaner experience, we recommend waiting for the hotfixes that will be coming later this month.
Now to the official announcement message:
We're thrilled to announce the arrival of a NEW Build. In the latest subchapter in A Nut Between Worlds, get ready to introduce yourself to Melody properly, and see Virtual Little Tokyo for the very first time! Explore Melody’s apartment, get yourself some fresh clothes, and prepare to embark on your adventure to save VLT.
The Sandbox has also been REVAMPED and is easier to use now! With more animations and less technical tinkering, we think you’ll greatly enjoy what we’ve cooked up for you. There will also be new characters added soon!

Double Music in a section of Portal Subchapter
A spoken line in the new subchapter has no lipsync animation

HOW TO PLAY A PRE ALPHA BUILD
We left portions of the STORY MAP menu in the game, which allows you to easily start over a new character at the character creator subchapter.
UE5 uses DX12 meaning your shader cache gets generated at runtime during gameplay. Expect hitches and harsher load times during your first play-through because of the caching working in the background.
As always, our team here at Big Bang appreciates all of your support! We look forward to hearing your feedback on the new story portions and features, as well as what you experience in the new Sandbox Mode.
