And the overall calculations to show how much of the screen actually gets any ships is pretty darn small when things are very different. In general mipmaps for textures kick in for things like normal map textures at distance, which helps in any case. Most ships that we have are a little more complex in terms of shaders, but using LODs we could make them much simpler at further distances, or even go to billboard (in which case they are sprites). About 64k vertices in those, animated, at easily 600fps or more without anything else going on with my GTX 980M. Then again: in all those various screenshots, there are 20,000 asteroids orbiting the planet. Others would draw, but probably not 10,000. Most of the time some of those would be icons thanks to being too far away from the screen. Generally speaking your computer will not cope with 10,000 ships on screen most of the time. Q: How will our PCs cope with the 10,000 ships on one screen? Long response to the question about how the pcs can cope with 10.000 units on screen. :)įinally the Kickstarter is going somewhere. So there you go! There is more we may do with the rewards coming up soon, and we're also working on the presentation style for the reward panels down at the bottom of the page.
We added a new $60 tier that is the same as the $50 tier, but also adds in the original The Last Federation and all its (existing) expansions. Due to popular demand, the AI War 2 soundtrack is now a part of all tiers $50 and up rather than $100 and up.
All rewards $35 and up now include that.ģ. We added a new $35 tier that is the same as the $30 tier, but also adds in the original AI War and all its expansions. All rewards $25 and up now include that.Ģ. We added a new $25 tier that is the same as the $20 tier, but which also gives the person Skyward Collapse and Bionic Dues Steam keys (plus DRM-free versions). So I talked about this with the folks that pull royalties on the games in question, and we've decided to make the following additions:ġ. Some folks were saying that there wasn't a tangible enough difference between a lot of the reward levels if they weren't particularly interested in the creative elements that you get to add as you get higher and higher on the dollar amount.
