Teaser Update, Jan. 6: A look at a new shader

seriously when seeing a character model like that it's hard not to get pumped. There's a lot of detail there. It makes me happy that we will finally be getting a game that is a clear STEP UP visually than SOTN and on consoles.

While I trust Igarashi and all of Inticreates with this, I also recognize that they're human. The fact of the matter remains that they're working on a project that was in a large part funded by the public, and there is a weight to that. Whether or not there are any legal responsibilities tied to that (there mostly isn't), I have no doubt someone there feels an overwhelming responsibility at times. I don't wish to take that responsibility away or really even relieve it, but I want to convey that sometimes what people ask for isn't always what will make them happy or even what will sell.

I'm finding it difficult to say exactly what I would want them to do about this. While the community here is great, that isn't a universal statement about all of the internet, and I don't want them to put too much weight into halfhearted gut reaction statements, whether negative or positive, when it's from people who aren't considering the overall product.

They are on the right track as far as I'm concerned. Better than the first two. I'm more curious about the game rather than the looks though. Though it's good to get this out of the way.

Given the detail and the size of the sprite in game, I hope there is a pause feature that allows us to zoom in.

I love this version, wounderful work

This isn't a sprite, a sprite is considered an image, or in the case of 3d games a flat plane that always faces the camera (usually used for fire or smoke).

Something I've been wondering is how does this shader look from a distance? It looks awesome up close but at the end of the day that won't matter. In fact, I think her model is way too detailed unless we're expecting a lot of close up cutscenes in the game.

This shader looks good on Miriam, but I'm far more interested in how it impacts the background elements.


  Waiting for next week... 

I want to see how this shader will affect the game's environment as well.

That's a good observation and theory, but I don't think that's going to be the case since Gebel is also cursed and it looks like he's wearing a fancy v-neck and glove over his crystals.
