Or maybe the guy was just really smart about how he used the effect and made it "feel good".

I suspect that since it's a custom engine, it renders at a lower resolution and then upscales to 1080p, instead of rendering in 1080p and lowering to the target resolution, and upscaling again (like the unity shader does). Devil Daggers has this same effect but it works perfectly there.
My feeling was that it didn't work well because the underlying render was still generated in 1080p, then downscaled and upscaled again, instead of actually being rendered at a lower resolution from the get go. I am also suggesting quality of life improvements that either make the tools easier to use, faster to use or both! So, by the time the early access release is out, we will have a very easy yet powerful editor for you to get your hands on.This looks really cool congrats! Will there be an option to turn of the heavy pixelation? Only because while watching the trailer I found it really hard to focus and it gave me a slight headache.Īgreed. I did some tests with this shader on Unity before, and while it sounds cool on paper, it ended up being just a distraction. I’m also doing my part in advising what tools other mapping utilities are packaged with, and which ones would translate well into the Prodeus editor. With Prodeus you’re able to place light entities and control their shape, size, colour, brightness, and even their pulse sequence and all of the corresponding shadows are applied instantly. Having come from a doom background, I’m used to hand-drawing the lighting in my map.This allows you to quickly hide or show specific layers, keeping your work environment clean and organised.

One notable aspect is that you build the game in a 3D view only, no top / side views. From each face you can then do many things, be it grab one of the sides and start a new face from it, add vertices to distort the shape of the surface, extrude a series of faces outwards or inwards from it, etc. You control the size and shape of every individual face, or if you prefer, surface. This face-based technique is almost somewhere in the middle. People who have mapped for a few other games may have had ‘sector based / grid based’ mapping tools (akin to how you map for Doom or Wolfenstein), and others may think of ‘brush based ‘ mapping which is what many 3D game engines use, where you make the map out of a series of cuboids. Let me tell you, this editor is nice! The editor we are using will be the same one distributed within the game itself, so when you get your hands on a copy of the game, you too can have some fun making maps for the game! This is a question I’ve been asked a few times since the news has spread that I’m on the Prodeus development team. “So Dragonfly, What Is The Level Editor Like?” Needless to say, I quickly fell in love with it! The game has a very good ‘feeling’ to it, providing the same kind of action I enjoy most in first person shooters, but with it’s own unique identity and style.Īfter the testing session, I accepted the opportunity, but with the caveat that I will not start until I was done with the development of Eviternity, slated for release on December 10th. Jason pinged me a private test build of Prodeus, which featured one level to play – We called each other and I shared my screen and narrated my experience of playing it, almost as if it was a 1 to 1 twitch stream. I was already aware of Prodeus, having been following it’s development on Twitter, so having them reach out to me directly was a huge confidence boost! At the time I was fully committed to finishing Eviternity, so I responded warmly saying I’d love to do so, as long as I can finish up my project first. In the later months of 2018, Jason Mojica reached out to me after having seen some of my Twitch streams and the maps I’d made, asking if I would consider mapping for a commercial project called Prodeus.
