The goal of the revamp was to fix all the visual defects that had been bothering us for a long time and thus refresh the look and mood of the game. At the same time, we took care of the original feeling of our title. We wanted to make something the same. We just wanted to have our game stay the same but better:) To do that we decided to do a complete rework of a Couple of features:

The goal here was to eliminate the unnecessary optimizations we had made in the past and restore the original quality of grasses, cactuses, and all the props that make up a large part of what you see on the monitor.

Close-up quality, getting rid of obvious glitches and artifacts. Retaining the color palette and adding features at higher scalability levels

We completely replaced every rock in the game. Again, taking care of the color palette, we added and reworked channels to fully use computing power.

To the best of our abilities, we went over the entire project, adjusting the colors of the models not only to the color palette of the rest of the game but also to Physically accurate standards of the modern gaming rendering pipeline. This enabled us to bring the details to the places in the game that were previously lacking.

The changes were very delicately executed. As mentioned previously. We wanted to retain the original feeling and make things look better at the same time. The point of reference was 12.00. This is traditionally the least appealing hour for many reasons. We worked hard to enhance the world at this very hour because we knew the 17.00 will look sweet anyway:)


We tested and focused mainly on older machines. However, we provided a significant performance boost for all graphics settings.


The goal was to optimize the game to the point that it would enable it to run comfortably on a PC with integrated GPU (without dedicated GPU). We created a new graphic setting that is situated below the LOW scalability setting. It is dedicated mainly to common business notebook machines that were never prepared to run games in the first place.

GTX 960, which was our minimum spec GPU prepared to run the game on LOW scalability settings, now runs the High scalability settings at about 30 FPS. If the performance is your priority you are free to play around with the scalability setting to find something that runs well and has visual fidelity of your liking.

Removed unbound Lock FPS settings: The new Max is 240.

Epic settings have been merged into High settings. That being said we decided to remove Epic settings as it became unnecessary.

• Reworked outline selection method
  
• Reworked landscape texturing method, implementation, and features
  
• Reflection capture method
  
• Brought quality Materials on all props to work properly with graphic settings
  
• Reworked Sky
  
• Reduced shader complexity for many shaders
  
• Reworked mount Urulu
  
• Numerous other performance improvements

So, there you have it! Don’t forget to share your feedback with us below or on our official discord server. We can’t wait to hear your thoughts regarding the update. Last but not least, if you encounter any issues or weird stuff in the game, send us a ticket to support@drago-entertainment.com or use our new tool - Bug Reporter.

Until the next devlog!
