new demo on project-ninja-star.googlecode.com notes:
Joystick not mapped to second view
Not all keys can be remapped
Water beyond repair
Improvements
Improved FPS by 30 by improving my shaders to blurr in circles not in squares (3/4 of the workload)
EDIT: further examination has improved the framerate from 111 to 170 in single player with HDR+DoF
This is supposed to fall when I put my depth info from the RTT's alpha to a second RTT (which rendered with MRT) in 16 bit precision (instead of
This would allow to do DoF of up to 1.f in world space precision and 70000 far value instead of 31.f of up to 8000.f in far value

all your speed improve notes don't say anything for your progress, because everyone has another machine...
give us screenies or demos to show progress!

halfway there with the sky and I am trying to get rid of nasty artefacts with my DOF + HDR

textures dont remove properly it caused me a 300kb leak witha 2800x3100 texture
joystick is done, but the configuration of viewing device is not
sky done
all my artifacts vanished
SSAO
lighting issues from the sun
LEAKS
then I release demo (or maybe i will add volumetric light scattering?)

NEW DEMO
http://project-ninja-star.googlecode.co ... o-29-5.zip
so its:
joystick+view
lighting issues from sun
SSAO
memory leaks
Volumetric Light Scattering
fix my issues of sky + splitscreen
AND THEN ONTO PHYSICS!

I'm really happy because I went on our wiki and edited it and found that I have boosted the completion percentage by 4%...
from 5% to 9% I hope the next 3 months will be even more productive

ok so I will fix water and movement in split screen, I had to lay off reflections...
Make a new slidebar for water quality and I will try to make the skybox reflect with all the clouds on it and this bit on the water which is like a sun reflection.
add very simple clouds and we have a new demo...
In the next :
-shadows
-more stuff reflects
- optimisation
- water caustics
for now

MORE SCREENIES
Water Caustics
Water depth rendering (like in crysis)
It all comes together and makes this

really nice devsh, you're good in writing shader.

thank you Virion
anyway using depth rendering I managed to get rid of one bug when the objects above the water "bleed out" into the refraction on the water in other words i did some sort of Z-culling that halted effect calculation and turned the pixel transparent.

any feedback about the demo is appreciated

That's what you get with your Oh-so-cool-Linux-only-release. Not a very good marketing decision if I may say. At least provide a Youtube video or something for Windows users. Thanks.
I like the water, though it could use soft edges where water meets terrain .. But why exactly are you focusing all your energy on a water shader and not gameplay? Is the water really such an important aspect of the game (like in Bioshock)? I'm yet to see any screenshots of the actual game.

I'm gonna agree with Eigen. Linux is nice an all, but I'm not going to start it up just to play your game. Besides, I loaned my Linux laptop to a friend for the week
But you water looks great!
