The screenshot was about the plant shading in "Lived", so the technigue shows of what the engine can do at high specs. I never saw leaves with normal and specular mapping in A6 , but it is a technigue what makes kind of real.
sebcrea out ...
makes it look like the plants are made of plastic or wax, looks not that good and not real at all... furthermore i do not know how you handle your performance, but in my experience plants are a heavy load for the system as it is, without adding any additional shaders to it...

DO you have people testing the game also for playbility? I mean itīs impossible to say the game is playable well or not so well by screen shots. But it would be sad if a game which looks good and in which was put so much work, would fail because of bad playability.

damocles is correct, you will need to allow stock computers to play this game, or atleast something around this range, else you'd only be getting Doom3 players, and 90% of them will not know about this game in the first year alone, so consider allowing some older systems to play it, we're doing this with preva, this way, you have a bigger audience

The golden rule of gaming: Don't buy a stock computer (Unless its the Dell XPS or Alienwares) I learned this a long time ago.
People have to bring their computers up to play games like FEAR, Doom3 and Quake 4 (And Halo 2 Vista, when it comes out) People are being forced to do this is they want to keep up with modern games, as the computer manufacturers are forced to make their computers better. If they want these games, and games like Lived, theyre going to have to buy new parts. Lived is not the only game making them.
Honestly, I think the scene looks *nearly* perfect. Take out the rubber- ball thing and it would be awesome.
Jimmy died, today, he blew his brains out into the bay, in the state of mind, its my own private suicide.
A stitch in time saves nine... what the hell does that mean?!?

pixel shader 2 and Doom3 are old technologies. Why should that not run at your pc? Doom3 and Quake4 did use mainly 256 pixel images. This is low resolution.
I really do not understand your whining and supporting of old systems.
Besides that the "Lived" project does not have to care for old systems and sales numbers because it will be free, non-commercial, as far as I know.
But ok: Start your top game and program it around the fixed function pipeline of an old GeForce2MX. You will not sell it for sure.
This discussion is non-sense. Use modern technology with fall-backs and the world is open for you. All the other attempts are fun and hobby but useless in terms of commercial projects.
