  CORPSES 'N SOULS Optimizations!

  10 February 2021, by valcan_s

  COVID has been a challenge for everyone so I have been dealing with it on a day to day basis and marching on. Other personal stuff has been causing interruption in My work + health but I am determined to continue on and keep reaching toward My goal of releasing Corpses 'N Souls.

  The last tasks in 2020 regarding the major engine + CPU optimizations have been a massive success! This allows Me to start working on GPU optimizations and shader improvements plus some other engine system overhauls. Things are going well, and I am optimistic.

  CORPSES 'N SOULS Optimizations!

  20 August 2020, by valcan_s

  Have had some major setbacks due to COVID and My health. I even lost the vision in one of My eyes which halted any progress on the project so that is why there have not been many updates.

  I am happy to say I am slowly getting back at it and am continuing My optimizations. I am focusing on many departments in the game engine and the CPU is at the top of the list. The goal is to allow Corpses 'N Souls to work even on 2 Core CPUs and up to 128+ Cores.

  Massive amounts of optimizations and work has been completed on the game engine plus game and things are in amazing shape. More to come in the coming months, prepare your self!

  CORPSES 'N SOULS NEW lighting + FX

  16 June 2019, by valcan_s

  Here is a smaple of my light optimizations & updates I am working on.

  The whole render is fully dynamically lit now & even the rain drops + water run offs are part of the light passes and all get dynamically projected light plus colors & effects.

  CORPSES 'N SOULS NEW Water + FX

  27 May 2019, by valcan_s

  Here is a small sample of the new water effects and the isolated global illumination for the pathing. As you can see the lighting and render is even and no longer needs none light pass assets to separate the water.

  Also the typical liquid mercury look is no longer present as I have advanced the water tech to look more natural. The results are a combination of a lot of work while majorly decreasing the performance impact.
