(Midway Branch) Penkura Patch 0.1.9.3 MW 5

In this Midway Patch we focused on the atmosphere in the game, the colors, lights intensity, texture rendering, updating few models, but most of all. We moved from generated color correction system to created by hand with over 21 color curves LionsDome system.

Thanks to this we were able to make the look of the game, more vibrant (albeit less realistic), adding more color to nights time of the game, increasing overall brightness but most of all, making the main gas giant moveable.



The gas Giant movement will now affect day and nighttime brightness of the entire level, color intensity, and it's now programmable by our modular sky system. This improvement will allow us to add special events and triggers that can happen only when the gas giant is in a specific place in the night sky. Increasing aggression in some of the creatures or affecting some of the buildings.

Night light coming from Gas Giant (reflected from the main star) also changes its position correctly to the gas giant position, thanks to that shadows generated by that light respect planetary and star rotation night and day.
