[Feedback] Overall Lighting/Shadows

[Syncfx]

Hey guys,

Was having a discussion on discord about the look of the game in terms of it being too dark or okay as is. Would love to have a discussion that is easy to look back on to.

So I made some screenshots to compare the quality and while some areas I find better on very low quality I’m starting to think its how the area applies shadows the higher the settings.

Some areas are better with decent shadows but places like the town the shadows are too much, or in the case of The Shattered Valley, the gamma becomes too much the higher the quality.

Hey @Syncfx - you made this at the EXACT right time! We actually just brought on an environment artist who will be working with us on lighting and post processing. I’ll show him this which will surely be helpful and see if I can get him to post in here with some updates as he goes along

Thanks for the post - I can tell you put some effort into this!
