How do you integrate a story into your game?

Just to add to that. LODs are very important to open world games in particular, so that when you get up close to something like a landscape in the Kite demo etc it has lots of detail, but when you move away from it, it loses detail so its cheaper to render which means your frame rate stays high.

There are lots of different types of lighting but you can group them into two categories, dynamic and static. In dynamic the sun moves, the shadows move, illumination on objects changes. Whereas with static or baked lighting the reflections and shadows etc remain static for every object and do not change. Obviously dynamic looks better in-game and makes levels more interesting to look at, but static runs faster and will run on more devices…

Ohh, Ok, thanks for such a clear explanation
