New launcher?! You make my job writing these books super-hard with all work!

Keep up the great work though! :>

“Water Pack” sounds like something from marketplace. I hope it will be some kind of “out of the box sea and rivers” solution? That would be great

Water might be relating to NVIDIA WaveWorks, yay!

Nice! Pretty hyped about . New launcher and water both sound very exciting. See you in the chat tomorrow!

Devero · January 22, 2015, 4:30am

, I’m pretty excited about the resizable launcher! Can’t wait to watch. =)

! I’m looking forward to the water pack

[request] pls just add out of the box water, with underwater post processing volume(like in cryengine3), with physics and other normal stuff like in other engines, i think it is MUST have , thx.

I see the word water GameWorks talk?

TK-Master · January 22, 2015, 5:20pm

Okay you got my attention… water… I’m already thirsty

Tkfore21 · January 22, 2015, 5:22pm

Do we have a status for HTML5 deployment?

CyberDev · January 22, 2015, 5:38pm

Will there be any forward rendering paths added to properly render translucent materials for better water materials?

I checked out cryengine for a bit simply because of how great its water looks but now I probably don’t even need to bother since you guys have something great to show us!

anonymous_user_759e5c3a · January 22, 2015, 6:30pm

We do have plans for being able to decide if you project will use forward or differed rendering, but it’s will have to go through an experimental phase first. Mittring is working on it when he can, but there is no ETA for the stable version.

Yeees, I’m in

Strong Portal vibes from tonight’s stream

The ‘Mythical’ should join us more often!

anonymous_user_0df12f74 · January 22, 2015, 8:16pm

More than willing to be a beta tester! I should have checked here before asking in the stream, really looking forward to !

As a side note I noticed Specular highlights and SSR for translucency have been added to the 4.8 on GitHub. Planning on giving it a try on the weekend, thank you guys for implementing it! Is the planar reflections for translucent surfaces that was working on by any ?

Ivey · January 22, 2015, 10:24pm

Thanks for hanging out with us! Look out for the water pack coming soon

Dashiva · January 23, 2015, 2:52am

Hey! I missed the stream. Can anyone describe what is up with the water? is the number one beyond foliage that I need. UE4 water still looks like UE3 water.

CyberDev · January 23, 2015, 6:28am

Wish it had a moving material for the shoreline, doesnt look anywhere near as good as cryengines (although there are some really neat things in water that did, nice!)

Is there a way to make it double sided to it see underwater? Could post process for going underneath it be added?

anonymous_user_138c2332 · January 23, 2015, 9:45am

So nothing new about water then? Still doesn’t look like water.
