Do you think we should take the time to make realtime shadows? |

Thouch I vote 'Yes', now is not the time for designing that. We need much more in depth design of the game story before we get into the technical details. The general rule of thumb is, "If implementation is taking longer than planning, something is wrong here..." |

Mechas Robo is to be toon-shaded as far as I understand. There will be realtime shadows, but we will have to wait until after Apricot is released for the stable shadow enhancements. Crystal Space used to have support for real time shadows, but it was taken out because it was buggy and required developers to make explicitly closed models. Apricot has re-written core chunks of code and has stable, working shadows. As Apricot is not released yet and the code is not yet out, we must wait and bide our time planning. Apricot shadow work Apricot development toolchain (similar to ours) |

Cool. That's fine. You also might want read the last few posts in the Mechas Robo thread and post accordingly. I'm having all developers post their interests and skills so I can give them jobs they'd like. (We DO need to fill every job, which it seems I am doing) |
