Dynamic TOD (Preview)
Added 2025-03-01 21:15:22 +0000 UTCHi!
Here's a little preview about the dynamic TOD and lighting system.
Key components of this system are:
- Universal game time connected to environment lighting
- Real-time water reflection system (Custom SSR)
- Sun / moon path simulations & gradients
- Simple editor & modding tools for modifications
- Takes ~50% less VRAM than the previous static system.
So yes, fully dynamic day & cycle will be part of the early access :)
ps. Recording was little choppy at times, but in-game it's super smooth and lightweight when it comes to performance.

I don't understand how people can do this, but I'm glad they can.

2025-03-01 23:34:14 +0000 UTCI have to admit that even I who spends countless of hours of watching / testings these things, I really like the feeling of watching the sunsets / sunrises with this system :)
