April Towards the end of 2023 we announced a collaboration with Google and The Forge to improve the performance of our Vulkan mobile backend. The PvP auto-battler with a medieval fantasy theme has quickly gained popularity with content creators! The work concluded in April, with the matching PR being split into the 4.3

Rendering: Portal occlusion culling. Portal occlusion culling. Up till now a significant missing feature in the renderer has been the ability to cull (prevent rendering) objects that are within the camera view, but occluded by another object (for instance a wall). Core: Promote object validity checks to release builds.

Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. It works by implementing voxel cone tracing in a way that is friendlier with low end GPUs and high end mobile. Implement post process effects: DOF Blur, Bloom and Tone Mapping. TODO for Milestone #4 (January 2017). Add Clustered lighting (before this all is forward).

We are lucky that despite the culling of thousands of 5-star reviews, only a handful of people rated the game 3-stars or lower and so our average is still a respectable 4.92 The only way we encourage reviews is through an in-game reminder on the mobile version which seems to be the industry standard. but even so, the question of Why?

Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. This means: Cubemap arrays are not supported in older hardware, mobile and WebGL2, and reflections need to be put into an atlas (for single-pass forward or clustered). Blending of cubemap faces is not supported in mobile and WebGL2, making blurred reflections look terrible.

Given GLES2 isn't going to disappear any time soon due to low end mobile devices, we still need to support it for a few more years to come. This ensures great compatibility with all desktop PCs, mobile devices and WebGL 2. And the list goes on. In the future, this might be the same case with newer rendering technologies.
