Live Multiplayer Test #36: Lights and Darkness
Welcome to the 36th Livestream Multiplayer test for Rank: Warmaster. The original stream was on Twitch ( http://www.twitch.com/rankwarmaster ) but I recorded the video in 4k60 for Youtube. After a vacation, I finally implemented VTFS (Volume Tiled Forward Shading) and Cascaded Shadow Maps. During tests I could get over 100,000 lights. When I tried 1 million lights, the system was very not happy, but it wasn't built for that. The game currently doesn't have that level of practical lights implemented, but it shows the potential of what can be done. While this livestream there isn't much using this new ability, expect a lot more in future livestreams! The other major change is adding cascading shadowmaps! Now the sun finally casts shadows on the terrain and from the buildings. Unfortunately, a lot of tuning still needs to be done, so isn't as completed as the VTFS is. But it is still a large improvement. We also demonstrated some fixes to the salvage beam.
Over the next few months we plan to add a lot more polish to the game, and do an Early access release on Steam in Q3 of 2021. Any feedback is helpful! Thanks!
