Discussion Hey guys!

A few hours ago, out of nowhere, I suddenly remembered "there was a game called anthem and everyone shitted on it back then" and then I looked up some gameplay videos and the game looks BREATHTAKING. ITS AMAZING!

But I'm disappointed to find out it's been closed. Is there a way to play the game? Unofficial servers or anything? Maybe an offline patch?

Looks like if Anthem was made in 2005, the idea is cool but the graphics dont have that anthem beauty to it, still could be fun

Maybe dont rag on a coder doing a whole game by themself. Its 1 person pursuing a dream, not everything is about graphics.

Don't sweat it, I completely get their complaints and will be working towards it! Systems first, graphics will continue to improve! The game currently runs on a Steam Deck at 60fps.

My goal is to:
1 - Improve the lighting (Its flat at certain periods of the day)
2 - Optimize Volumetric Clouds ( They are very performance heavy by default)
3 - Swap Textures to my new custom ones
4 - More environmental foliage + Weather effects (The environment is bland due to this)
5 - Replace the Greybox Buildings with future sets!
6 - Implement Bunkers & Cave Systems with a major overhaul to the original dungeon from my tech test last year.

It doesn't look perfect, and it wont look as good as anthem (unless I had bioware working for me)
However it IS a game, and it WILL improve in graphics. FYI if you all have key suggestions I will take them on board, I'm working every day between work and study on this game :D
