@Zori As always I care very little if at all what you think or feel or ... in fact anything.

Great to see @Zori back on his high horse again....... ahh I've missed his condescending attitude.

Hi @Stacy555, we believe the most problematic point with Fractured's graphics as of today are the biomes, which, as many players like @d3Sync pointed out, all look pretty similar.

This is due to an overall lack of unique "decorative" art assets for each biome (and the average quality of the existing ones), but also to the lack of unique lighting and post-processing. The latter is going to be improved before the next test, but the former will have to wait until we hire a dedicated environment artist.

Adding to the above, animations are also very poor, and we know that. We don't have a dedicated animator in the team - our art director has been taking care of that so far. You can consider all the current player character animations as placeholders - even the walking animations eheh.

All the above being said, you can't really compare Fractured graphics-wise to AA/AAA games like Ashes of Creation or New World from Amazon, whose owner earns in 3 minutes (literally) the total cost of the development of Fractured so far We are an 8-people indie studio, and while the team's hopefully going to grow and graphics are surely going to improve before full release, they will never compete with AAA titles - nor it's our interest for them to

Thank you for the full and clear answer @Prometheus, as I have said before some of my examples were just references really and not meant as realistic markers, good to hear that graphical improvements are on the list for future development, I'll wait and see what you guys come up with.

Keep up the great work.

@Razvan I'm not arguing, I've simply asked for other players take on where the games graphics will be on release, and how much better if at all they will look, as I feel they are quite poor at this point.

Just an open discussion.

I'm actually more concerned this may be a sign that the money is running out, the game is ?, I don't know 20% of the finished product ?,
and we may not get a game at all.

@FibS You are clearly not understanding your own words, and wow you love the word "Assets".

Quote "Until then none of this discussion means beans".

Would be nice if you had even bothered to read the Thread heading, before being completely dismissive about people showing interest in what they, would like to see change for the better in a product they are paying to have created.

This is an open forum, please don't tell us whats worth discussing and what is not, now if it's of no interest to you ... move on.

It is of absolutely no benefit to anyone to discuss or critique the graphics of a game that is still in alpha, especially 3D. The assets in this stage of development are on a strictly functional basis.

Updating the graphics to a 1.0 standard will be one of the last priorities and will most likely go hand-in-hand with optimization.

It is of absolutely no benefit to anyone to tell people not to express their opinion.

Thank you for yours.

@Basileus
I will take your suggestion on board and up my digital vibrance setting, but I'm not expecting too much to be changed with pale green and light brown being the main palette choice.

The whole argument of graphics vs gameplay should be a non starter in 2020, why one should have an impact on the other is just a poor excuse, there are many Indie games out there that are awesome to look at and to play, War of mine is a good example, yes it's dark and dingy but it's a great look for the content of a great game.

Graphical look vs Fps ....... see above, I'm not talking about the amount of pixels, just about how the are used and then optimised for good fps.

Nice to see this turn in to a proper debate.

Bells and whistles no.
a little more variety and colour .. yes please.

@Jetah said in New Alpha Price & Founder Pack Sale:

I'd actually suggest a 15-20% discount for those that already have a pledge. maybe push this out closer to black Friday/cyber Monday.

Surely they are trying to raise more cash, not give it back.
