I can't wait for the next update

I have a feeling the other one will be DARKER. Quite the...shady shader.

I'm artistically helpless, and while I have some programming experience using Direct3d and whatnot. I never really worked with shaders beyond 'take this shader, turn it on, don't worry about how it works'.

Is it possible or practical to use multiple shaders simultaneously? Like for example one shader for... I forget the term. Directional lighting (often to emulate the sun or something... a light coming from a direction from an infinite distance), and another shader for point lighting (for candles, lamps, etc)... or do shaders not work like that? cuz I really don't know how they work tbh.

Fangamer Steve and Dangamer considering the time and energy that go into developing these shaders, why not let the backers choose the default, and then make the rest available through an options menu or unlockable features?

More options means more code programming to do o.o

Programming with codes is a pain unless programmers they got are all the top best lol

I honestly don't really remember enough to say for certain but I do know that if it's possible, programming it is likely effing easy to the point that worrying about how hard it would be to code would be like worrying about having to code in 'hello world'...

My gut reaction is though that it's very possible and easy, because aren't there 3rd party 'make games look better' software that change the shaders among other things (like sweetfx or whatever), I don't know, I neve rused one, but I just assume they do that among other things?

I would think though that changable shaders in the options would be something that wouldn't be implimented not because of coding difficulty, but because the art-team likely designed things a certain way knowing the shader makes it look like so, and then if it changes, it kinda ruins their placement/decor.

You mean Galvanic wine... sounds more sophisticated that way =P

Yes it's easy to swap out shaders on the fly. It's a technique sometimes used in games, but most of the time you would just put all the logic you need in one shader.

But, that means they need to write and maintain multiple shaders, which means extra development costs.

now you say it, yeah, I think it's important they pick the best

I'm HOPING it comes today. I have off and I want to bask in the glory of a legitimate update
