I haven’t been totally satisfied with some the screens we’ve published lately, simply because they represent a transitional phase in the development of the game. We’ve been upgrading the PC version from DirectX 8.0 - which is what the Xbox is using - to DirectX 9.0. We’ve also rewritten all the shaders in the process, and that’s made a world of difference. We’ve got new shadows, new reflections, cube mapping, and a bunch of other graphical features. You name it, it’s in there. Meanwhile, the Xbox version is benefitting from tons of changes, including detail maps - which is exactly what it sounds like: more detail in the texture mapping. Now, the closer you get to a texture, the more detailed it looks. Pretty cool stuff.

Rest assured that Dreamfall is looking fantastic. I play it every day, and I’m still blown away by some of the locations and characters. But you won’t have to take my word for it forever, and if you’re not convinced yet, you will be soon.
