November 5th Update (Patreon)

This week isn't a long update, nor is it particularly interesting.  I did get the new witchdoctor animations working in game, and have him all hooked up, but I still need to finish his more interesting animations.

Unreal Engine 4.18 promised some interesting volumetric precomputed lighting.  So I upgraded, and played with this a bit, hoping to get some more efficient lighting.   I did get a few lighting builds that would save me about 10 fps, but they were overly dark, and we all remember how that went!

Unfortunately doing lighting builds can take a while, so that ate up a bit more time then I'd like.  

There are a few features I do hope to take advantage of, so it wasn't wasted time!

Sorry this isn't an exciting update.  I'm afraid that these updates might stop being interesting as I go on, and do less interesting things week to week.
