Will AoC feature HDR lightning, Bloom or other effects?
– HDR and Bloom is standard features in the Source engine. AoC is using it in all maps, even though we are trying to make the effects rather small so it doesn’t become something you want to turn off in order to see or play better. HDR and Bloom are pretty to look at, but they do not contribute to the gameplay. We are mainly focusing on making a fun game. We are also experimenting with a few other shaders that we will use for other gameplay effects. This will be revealed in future versions of the game.
