The visual effects on this game are spoiling me. The graphics are beautiful, so much so that I am finding it hard to go really enjoy some of my other favorite RTS games like Generals: Zero Hour and Starcraft II. But like I said it is spoiling me and now I want more.
That being said and the fact that you're developing different terrain is awesome. But, I was relaxing in my living room and some of the scenery pictures on my walls when it hit me.
1. Water, you have no lakes or large bodies of water in the game so far. All the vehicles hover (so far) so water shouldn't be a problem. The effects of the vehicles moving across the water would be really cool, so would the effect of moving through a forest and with trees getting knocked over.
1a. Reflective surfaces, like water. For that matter what about shadows (like for planes)?
2. I really hope you have something like this implemented when you bring in the winter maps. Imagine units moving around with a small snow build up on them.
3. What about rain and sunlight? You could even add a rainbow effect.
4. Do you have any plans for waterborne units? Units that go underwater to hide or for stealthy movement. Waterborne combat is missing in RTS games today. I know Total Annihilation had it and I have not seen a game with it since. I have not played Supreme commander that much to notice if it has it or not.
Like I said this game is getting me spoiled and I want more. These are just ideas that would be cool to have implemented and may even help better showoff DX12 capabilities.
