VR Fest Update!

What's new?

Rendering

• Switched to Deferred Rendering. New features including:
• Screen Space Reflections
• Screen Space Global Illumination
• Lumen Reflections
• Lumen Global Illumination
• Contact Shadows
• Distance Field Shadows. Increased shadow coverage at distance.
• Hardware Raytracing
• Path Tracing (works on desktop version, VR keeps invalidating the scene because of headset movement)
• Parallax Occlusion Mapping

Gameplay

• Real time 24 hour Day and night cycle
• Better destructible physics

VR

• Frame rate independent smooth turn. It used to slow down when performance fluctuates. You can turn at the same speed independent of your FPS now
• (Fix)Grabbed objects and weapons could be attached to the player character outside of allowed holsters. Should be fixed now.

UI

• New and improved menu

Optimization

• Smaller game size. Switched to different compression method. Loading speed should be the same or a bit slower.
• Reduced flower variation for better instancing with minimal visual impact.
• Shader and material tweaks.
• More optimization work. Performance should be even better now.

Worldspace

• Enabled World Partition to handle open world loading/unloading. Now I can start expanding the map without worrying too much.
