DC Prison - this shit is real!

[Druthers]

What got into you guys this month? You’re just showing off all kinds of tasty tidbits and screenshots… well whatever it is I hope you have more of it, I’m eating this up!

Another stellar pic and I love the idea of taking refuge in a prison; a building made to keep undesirables in is now a sanctuary to try to keep them out.

Ohhhh god you brought up the grass… That’s a sure-fire way of summoning Evil Medierra!!

Well, if grass is the only thing I can “complain” about, they’ve done a pretty good job in my eyes

Nice atmosphere in both pictures! I like it!

[Silversaint]

I love those screen shot, just keep them coming!

Ok, I’ll put on nitpick mode again, so don’t take as an all too serious issue, but the grass sprites in this screenshot look like cardboard prints. They’re extremely thin and lined up unnaturally straight.

Your teeth are unnaturally straight! OOOhhhhhhh1!!! You totally set yourself up for that one! Ahahaha… ha…

…wait… is even that even bad? DAMNIT! :o

THE HORROR!! THE HORROR !!!

What is that dark presence in this thread that I am feeling…

anyway AWESOME screens I really like that setting and got used to the not-so-dark lighting as well. Very nice work. Crate you rock dewds.

holy shit! I’m loving it

Lookin great guys. The building gives the perfect atmosphere. I agree with Yerk on the grass as well. Overall, I’d like to give out some props to the improvements you guys have made to making cliff sections. They are looking substantially better than the ones in TQ, as well as allowing for some really interesting terrain.

You surprise me - have you enabled shadow-casting lights for the fires?

Screenshots Posted!

Dynamic, shadow-casting lights utterly destroy performance. I worked on a contract project a couple years ago using the Unreal3 Engine, which has far more optimized lighting then the ILE engine and even then we had to be pretty conservative with dynamic shadow-casting lights. If we did this for all skills with light-sources that should cast shadows, I think it would be crippling even for most higher-end computers.

And I like the prison gate screens as anybody else here does.

It looks almost too good…can you actually move the character…

Those leaves are great.

We’ve created a new priority lighting system that will reduce the number of shadow-casting lights per scene (dropping out the ones set to the lowest priority first) based on video settings. They’re also only really used in significant density in town where there isn’t any combat.

I like the shadow cast in that screen shot, I like the colors also…

Sounds like a good and reasonable decision.

These are really nice views. All these screenshots serve their purpose well in building my anticipation for the game. I know when I first see it that it will be in an alpha stage but I still can’t wait!!!
