hmm, this seems interesting, your work is great matt, i'd love to see something like this from you, but the problem we had was because we are trying to use on off the shelf pcs as well, like the following specs:

1.80 Ghz amd processor
256 mb L2 cache
512 mb ram
on board geforce 6100

these will be our minimum pc restraints, if not lower, we're trying to go for good speed on a pc that you get stock, with no changes, but if you have a bloom effect that would run great on a pc like this, or at least a playable framerate, with alot of entities on screen, this would be great, i'd open my arms to it

edit: even if the effect couldn't run good on a pc like this, we'd probably still implement it, with the option of turning it on or not, if you have the hardware
