Shelter2 game

Post by chronologicaldot »

I found this to be a very interesting concept:

The graphics look really low-poly, but the texturing is done in such a way as to make it all flow together. Kind like playing with origami made from plaid fabric sheets.
Also looks like something relatively easy to accomplish in irrlicht, except the wind (watch the video to see the wind effect).

Thoughts?

I didn't like the texturing much, it looks awfully like glitchy rendering. The wind looks like a typical simple vertex shader, or in the running scene, a motion blur pixel shader.

Hm, style reminds me of Runescape somewhat.
