PlayerUnknown releases Preface: Undiscovered World tech demo
The demo showcases PlayerUnknown's Melba tech, which is meant to generate an earth-scale dynamic environment locally and without cloud data.
Brendan “PlayerUnknown” Greene and his PlayerUnkown Productions studio have revealed and released new demos this week, one of which is an ambitious-looking environmental tech demo. Preface: Undiscovered World was released alongside Prologue: Go Wayback! (which is a single-player open-world survival game). Preface features PlayerUnknown’s Melba technology, allowing for generation of earth-scale planet with dynamic conditions and entirely created on local hardware.
Preface: Undiscovered World was shared this week, with a page and early access opened up on Steam and a demo available to play now, as well as Prologue: Go Wayback!. What is Melba and how does it power Preface? Apparently, it’s a dynamic machine-learning tool for environmental design technology, as shared in its description on Steam:
To that end, players can jump in and see what Preface has for them now. PlayerUnknown Productions claims players will be able to explore an earth-scale 200-million square mile space that features 8 unique biomes, including forests, deserts, plains, and more. Down the line, lighting, terrain variety, water, clouds, and much more are expected to be implemented.
With a Discord set up for feedback, we’ll look forward to seeing what Preface: Undiscovered World has in store for us. Stay tuned for more news and updates on Preface and Prologue on the PlayerUnknown topic, right here at Shacknews.
