DX12 is key for all UE5 features to work correctly and I think it will struggle on anything but next gen GPUs.  Without it, Im not sure it will work by design at all.
But this is why we have packaged the project with the video settings menu, so one can push even a potato if they wanted too. Im interested to see how  it fairs on older tech. How old is no good? I think if the GPU is not DX12 compatible, then its really a ''best of luck'' situation.

Thanks for letting us know. We will get it resolved. Previous version is gone due to size. But if it comes to it we will just drop back down to 5.1.

UPDATE July 2023

Vehicle issue with player collision fixed.

MAJOR issue with collision between vehicles and player. A UE 5.2 issue which we are currently trying to resolve.

Project rebuilt using UE 5.2

**** GAME UPDATED WITH A PUMPKIN HUNT ****

Also some bug fixes and tweaks to settings.
Game location/item count  save works
Settings menu UI options saved not working but changes made does function.

Glad to hear its still working. Been a mare due to size but it seems stable now. Our version has video settings to help on lower end PCs :) Enjoy

Download now resolved in its new location :)

Update coming soon....

try the link below the download button :)

Im still waiting to hear if itch will give us some temporary extension to maximum download.

New link is now live and working. Thanks for your patience :)

I'm currently uploading to another server. Its taking a while but will be done soon. I'm hoping this will be enough to not get banned again.
We thank you all for the interest, and hope you will still give it a go once its live again.

We estimate by 1900GMT (UK time)

Take care and stay safe :)

UPDATE: We have requested extra temporary space with itch, so fingers crossed, they can help:)

DIRECTX12 Info

If no city is visible, then DX12 will not be enabled on your PC. Please right click on start menu,  select run and type : dxdiag...
( I would select 'YES' to check the drivers are digitally signed, as if not, remove them quickly!!)
This will show you what version DX you have. DX12 is required for this demo. If not, attempt to install  if your GPU is DX12 ready.

Thx:)

Hi all, The link has been hammered so Microsoft banned it. I am attempting a new link, and also changeing storage location. Please bear with me, though I am currently working on this until its fixed some point today :)

Hi
Thanks for letting me know. It has been working fine so not sure what's going on. I have an update so may just swap them over but for now it seems ok I think:/

You mean like this:

https://fishtankstudios.itch.io/the-matrix-awakens-an-unreal-engine-5-experience

100% PC port of the demo from Epic complete with video settings so it can be tweaked for lower end PCs :)

Thanks dude. All of what you said was how it was meant to be, but time, single parent etc. But now is a more complete version which I can finally upload :)
Its more now what I wanted it to be given time. Its exactly what the kids designed at the very least. A few bugz  keep popping up as the experiment was really with the Ai. Who for most part works, but can be a bit daft. 
I do hope you get the time to see the complete prototype as your suggestions have been answered :)

Cheers dude. Its now complete for the most part, and carnt wait to update as soon as we are allowed. So there is a start and finish. Ai is tweaked somewhat, and a bit more cleaver. You can randomly make noise now whilst gathering the shrooms. And a craft table to craft a key once all mushrooms are collected. It is now what it should of been if I had a little more time thank fully. I hope you have time to give it another go, as you will enjoy the completeness for sure ;)

It is from the minds of my children for the most part. Its been fun putting it together with them for sure. Glad you had a little trippy fun with it :) Thank you for the comment :)

Thx for the comment!! The game is more complete now including your request ;)  Glad you liked it. Was trying to make it trippy. The kids did the rest :) I think...

Glad you liked it. Mainly my kids I just banged it together. Now Ive had a day to finish, it indeed has tasks now and completely game ready. Ran out of time. Will update as soon as voting finished and hope you have another go ;)

Thanks for the comment :) The Ai was the experiment so working on getting that right. To be continued...

Good effort. Maybe some sonic textures, background ambiance etc. Models are awesome so well done there. Me too loves pixelated textures. Rat keeps getting me though damm thing. Hats off dude :)

Old school fun. Reminds me of me Spectrum and C64 back in the day :) Good effort!

I loved this. Loads of fun. For a first effort its awesome so well done. Its all a learning curve. I got a high score of 96 and didnt upload. Gutted but still loads of fun. Be great on mobile. Players movement was smooth. Well done :)

Yes same here Im afraid :(

Players movement and flow along with cloth responses alone are just great. I was also just running around but it allowed me to get the feel of the player. All movement is bang on. Take this character further. Love to see the finished idea :)

Awesome :)

The staticness of it is awesome. Changes everything in a way and makes you think a bit different. I like it. Good fun :)

I enjoyed this. Great 6mins. Dogs are scary enough to make me think about it. Good job guys :)

Now that was just good fun. Be great on mobile :)

Yeah great idea for sure. I agree on the more things to do on screen for sure. That could be xtra fun. And of course more conversations. The kid is the star. Bye bye dad :)

In my top 3!

All the below and then some. Shame re bugz, but its there ready and looks lovely. Carnt wait to play through fully.

I enjoyed this once I got my head around it. Love the post process pixel style. Very nice. Maybe not so dark, and some hiding spots. Nevertheless, enjoyable :)

100% Guys. Well done on your win. Great job and hats of to you :)

Great concept. Needs sonic textures for sure. Should take this a little further.

Carnt rate but this has all 4's for me. Loved it

Cheers dude. Yes  lots of bits to tweek.  I will be polishing it over the next week, including the unfinished soundtrack I was composing :)

Hey, Have you got like Google Drive or O365 space? You can add the link to the file on your submission. You have submitted so there is still a chance if you get it up now, add the link to your page, then time for it to be reviewed etc. Shame to not get it out there. Id like to see it anyway :)
