Edge Of Eternity’s Visuals Get A Boost With Unity 5 In New Screenshots

With the arrival of Unity 5 last week, Midgar Studio has had some time to improve the visuals and performance of its Japanese RPG tribute Edge of Eternity.

To show off the enhancements, Midgar has released a bunch of new screenshots so that we can all get a better look at them. You can see those screenshots below (and one above).

For those into the technical side, here’s a list of the new features that Unity 5 has brought with it:

• Realtime Spec Probes
• Realtime GI Indirect Lighting
• Physically Based Shading powered by Alloy 3 made by one of our backers and his team (thank you so much!)
• SpeedTree

Plus, Midgar have some “home-made” features that it was able to either improve upon or introduce with Unity 5. Those are:

• SMAA Antialiasing (We are actually working on an implementation of TXAA for Unity)
• HBAO Horizon Based Ambient Occlusion
• Atmosphere Scattering (With realtime GI variation)
• “Reactive” Grass Shader
• Improved High Resolution Shadows

Finally, here’s a comparison screenshot – Unity 4 at the bottom, Unity 5 at the top.
