Current Progress

Ruined has already had considerable progress made. The engine the game runs on has been built to allow easy extensibility.

Some of the more noteworthy features of the engine include:

• A "portal" based level system
• The light pre-pass renderer
• Particle systems
• My own version of Screen Space Ambient Occlusion
• Shadows (only cast from the main light)
• An "after effects" system
• Integrated physics
• Optimized animation system that can handle multiple streams
• A special debug mode with performance graph

And the game already has a lot of its features done as well

• A character controller
• Composited character animation
• First and third person views
• The "received item" screen
• Floor switches, doors, ladders, torches, chests and more!

Now for some older pictures!

Hopefully the next post will have some more recent pictures :)
