Too much bloom! Way too much bloom.
In real life you would want to rip your eyes out with so much intense white light everywhere.

Have you tried GS's PSSM shadows? I don't know how good they are, but it could add a lot to the scene, and then the bloom would make more sense (although it'd still be a bit much).

You can use that over bloom, for the half dead player.
I meen with that, as more you get damaged, as more you see bloom

I did not test it, yet, but looks like a pretty good level for testing (except for the overdone HDR/ Bloom) - that's what GStudio is really missing, office.wmb was cool.

Change the fog.
The color doesn´t fit, and it also seems too close to me.

Thanks for your suggests. I will try to play more with HDR values. About using PSSM: I tried it but the frame-rate was horrible, so I decided just to use poison-blurred stencil shadows.

Considering the short timeframe that you had to make it, it is a great contribution - provided the code works smooth - what I supppose!
I guess you know all the details that could have been polished, anyway.
Maybe, its a good base for polishing it up to a level close to Süpercan.
Maybe, some of the community like to improve something in one way or another when its out...

I think you should reduce the blur of the stencil shadows, then. It's hard to tell from the screenshots that there are even shadows at all.

IMO there should only be a little blur, if you really want some.

bad terrain shader honestly

I think it uses simple multi texture shader, so the look of terrain is not the fault of the shader

Perhaps the sand is too simple and the beach neeeds lot of little stones here and here, perhaps use a more detailled and varied sand texture ?
My taste only : the plants near the beach would need some shadows or simple grass texture under them, they seem a little out of place !

The game looks a lot like this old one , good !


Well use sand texture with noise on it ?

it looks like what it is.. and what it was intended to be. Its a 5 year old level with new textures and an updated rendering engine. its the same as those quake mods you see with updated rendering techniques. maybe not beautiful, but kinda cool to see. and as mentioned it is a study in the difference and the longevity in a well made project. some people are still impressed with it 5 years later.

EDIT: although in all fairness, crysis came out in 2007 only one year later... and uh....wellllll:/
