The Forest - Läuft nach Update auf Unity 5

Das neue Update 0.16 für The Forest vollzieht den Sprung auf die Unity-Engine 5.

Ab sofort steht das Update 0.16 für das Survival-Spiel The Forest zum Download bereit. Dies hat der Entwickler Endlight Games jetzt auf der offiziellen Steam-Webseite bekannt gegeben.

Der Höhepunkt dieses Updates ist wohl der Sprung auf die Unity-Engine 5 und der die damit verbundene Verbesserung der Grafik. So konnte das Team die alten Shader entfernen und durch modernere Versionen ersetzen. Hinzu kommt ein neuer Ozean-Shader sowie die Einführung von neuen Baummodellen. Außerdem haben die Entwickler den Netzwerkcode von The Forest überarbeitet, was letztendlich zu einer Optimierung des Multiplayer-Gameplays führen soll.
