<div class="IPBDescription">not meaning dynamic infestation, but just look of it.</div>I think i heard there may be no Dynamic Infestation for 1.0, but what i wanna ask is not about Dynamic Infestation, but about the look of it.
It looks already not bad, and we all know it's placeholder, but compare to other things which look fantastic with the engine, the look of current placeholder infestation is just, unfortunately bad and therefore i think if it's just still on 1.0 release like now, it would be a big disadvantage for at least graphical issue of NS2(because others look just really good)
So the first thing that i wanna ask is whether you are planning to implement 'almost final' new improved look for infestation for 1.0.
And second thing is, regardless of when, i wanna ask how good it would look. Would it be looking as good as and as detailed as that part of Hydra(so more darker, but much more detailed and perfectly 3D)? Otherwise how good?
thanks, cheer up

Dont quote me on this, but i believe they have the old version you saw in the first videos that just need some adjustment before implementation. In other words: not too much work to do but also not the highest priority on their list, being purely aesthetic.

Either way I'm not really bothered, current infestation looks fine and operates well enough.

You say "will be" but im not sure if they plan on ever implementing it. They have for sure said it wont be in 1.0 and my point was they shouldn't be advertising it if it wont be (i.e. the current page says it will affect lighting, deform hallways, etc)
Dead on.
Where was it said that it wouldn't be? I asked this question a few weeks ago internally and received the answer i just provided you.

Dev Q&A, where Charlie said that there could be no DI for 1.0. Should have written 'Would' or 'Could' at the topic, but yeah, fantastic that they are planning to.

Just to be clear, are you saying dynamic infestation will be in at 1.0 or earlier ?

Pretty ancient now, but gives you an idea of what they had in mind.

@Ryne:
^ No mention there of "Dynamic infestation" mechanics ... just the visuals. Which is what i was referring to. Hope that clears it up?
Edit: <u>DISCLAIMER</u>: The information i have provided is from a developer who answered my question but was not intended as a public promise to anyone, so if said visual improvements do not occur by 1.0 do not be upset, as they may not be what you expect visually or even occur at all, especially given the mixed information occurring internally. Will ask for more clarity come tomorrow.
