Every so often we find ourselves feeling a bit nostalgic and looking back at some of our older works. In this case we stumbled across the realization that for one reason or another, the game has gotten much darker than any of us are really happy with.
I asked our Production team to start evaluating what we can do with in-game lighting to act as a global enhancer and initial work on this has started. I'd like to share with you some of the work-in-progress screenshots I have been provided with, understanding this may not yet be the completed version and further enhancements may occur.

Should we brighten up the game?
Yes - absolutely!
No - keep it as it is.
Comment on this article to give us more of your thoughts and ideas.
I thought they were going to the unreal engine 5 and then do all the lighting and shading after all the new modeling and textures were done. The projection was 2 years, I have not seen anything talked about changing the engine since. if anyone has the updates then please let me know or know where to find them.
Will the clouds look like blobs with the lighting change as in the examples?
i wonder how the night looks? it should not be any brighter i think, i hope this dont effect on it. otherwise i think it looks better!
I have mixed emotions. Prob could brighten it up a bit but I think the screenshots are too bright. Maybe meet in the middle.
