Ashes Tail end of July Founders news

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

 

Actual AI is now in the build along with desert environments.

We also have time of day in now.

Sorry for no new builds lately.  We have a DirectX 12 version now but we've been asked by several parties to hold off until some new driver releases come out.

It also has a benchmark mode so you can see just how much of a difference DX 12 is vs. DX 11. 

We also have started adding in much bigger maps with a lot more resources available in general.

The Substrate units (or what we end up calling them) won't be made available until end of the year or early next year. But I wanted to give you guys a sneak preview:

I'm afraid not.  It'll be a couple weeks.  We have promised not to release the benchmark until the 13th.

Eeek wanted to test with dx11 first before switching to windows 10 but by the time the 13th comes round there won't be any 8.1 users left to do dx11 testing :p

Why can't you test dx11 on windows 10?

You can switch between DX11 and DX12 on Windows 10 still.

2 weeks from now, stopped playing the game so far because its really nothing new here and i cannot find a multiplayer game at all to try it out.
I will wait.
