Alpha 1.4 Notes

Hi community

Alpha 1.4 has just been released that fixes a few issues and adds performance enhancements.

Fixes.

  • Conrad AI audio (No longer has repeating hum)
  • Conrad AI (Improved path finding and recalculation)

Graphics.

  • As we are at the stage of building the house with a 1970 look and feel we came across a few issues when it come to lighting (Neon Tubes, skylights), so we have come up with a fully dynamic area light. This has also gave us the ability to re-light the the 1950s environment with more detail (Light under cracks of doors, tube light in the fridge and so on)

Performance.

  • Volumetric lighting is expensive for the GPU and can take a lot of rendering time, Previous versions on Tyler ran on a sample count of 16 but has now been reduced down to only 4.

Rendering Result.

Thanks for your patience why we finish the 1970s build.
