I donned my Rendering Engineer hat once again and decided to go back to the PBR system, with a view to nailing it well and truly on the head. In total it took almost four working days, including tinkering with… Read More »

As I’ve been tinkering far too much with the visual niceties of late, I decided to make a deliberate and concerted effort to concentrate on gameplay for a change. I disabled and reverted all the hacks I’d put in around… Read More »

Hi folks! I’ve finally managed to polish up the article – it’s amazing how much time it takes to put something together, then edit and format it to be suitable for an article, and then do it all again to… Read More »
