small one is for sure, but we tried to make it light ... ofc it gets more optimized over time

don't get me wrong, it looks extremly cool and i love to have this ingame - but i think there are different kinds of issues which needs developer focus right now...

[Dwarden]

there are many features and issues being worked on ...
don't deny one feature just because you want another

[Combiner]

If I were to guess, it's something the visual department has been working on in conjunction with other features being added/bugs and glitches being fixed

Looks pretty damn good though.

[Fishercat]

Nice.

[Theo Hardmeier]

Looks darn pretty

[Pascu]

awsomeeeee

Dwarden, I'm not sure if this is a stupid question or not but will sunglasses become useful? As in, if I have sunglasses equipped and I'm in 1st person will the suns brightness be decreased a little? Looking good, keep up the good work.
