Great news, can’t wait to buy this … a few comments were made above concerning FPS. I have not compared how may FPS you can get back by merging assets verses instancing … not sure which is the better way to go. But personally, I have used the “Instance Tool” offered on the Marketplace, and it works wonders, increasing the FPS by about 30 percent. I think Wolven’s modular design will make this a perfect candidate for instancing. If Wolven’s demo level is currently getting 60 FPS, instancing will most likely bring it back over 100 FPS. I built an Atrium with 1,200 glass windows, and after instancing, my FPS went from 50 back to 115. Extreme case, but really reduced the draw calls. Anyone have any comparison data between merging and instancing? Would be nice to know which is the best method. The instancing tool lets you manipulate each copy independently. Merging sounds a bit limiting during developing, fixing your configuration, and making changes more difficult. Any thoughts?
Most Castle or Stronghold architecture is based on using repetitive assets, so I think you are selling yourself a bit short by quoting 60 FPS. After instancing, the FPS would be very acceptable, even on a massive castle design in a large map level.
The interior stair case is perfection, looks exactly like the real deal. Been in may castles all across England and the rest of Europe, and this is a great addition to the Marketplace. Come on EPIC, don’t sit on it, get it released!
