Just my thoghts on the latest Screens update +examples offuture hopes for SoW

I just think SOW is further delayed that's why you don't see much ingame graphics.

I remember Oleg said years ago that it will be OpenGL then last year turned out that is DirectX... so the entire graphic engine was redone. Many objects from the first "shots" of SoW where lower quality than some mods today... now we see models of bugs climbing grass... or something.

I think SoW is still greatly WiP and is my personal assumption that the graphic engine is not completely shown do to the obvious fact that is not done yet.

Sure you have self shadowing and few other touches but those can be made in any graphic engine you buy at second hand on the market... I mean is not a complete graphic engine, just bits of hardware capabilities. As a side note... that thing with no AA due to HDR is not correct anymore for new graphic cards from nVidia... I think ATI didn't had the issue when they introduced HDR.

So... simply... bluntly put. There are no ingame screenshots and movies cause there is no game yet. There are objects and mechanical stuff they can't show in pics (like wind and AI) but that's all.

I think I just hope the project will not be dumped some day due to economical happiness from the world...
