RE: What is Unknown/Lux Tenebras

Not decided, its very early.

But currently it runs well on my old 2Ghz single core Athlon with an as old AGP GeForce 6800. Of course levels are not final size, does not have all the content or details yet, but it won't be a problem to run the game on this computer by the time of release.

RE: What is Unknown/Lux Tenebras

SSAO, soft shadows, better lighting are the only ones we know of.

What about texture maps? Most likely Diffuse+Bump+Spec, but any others? Deformation?

Any new effects with particles? Better collision for particles? Perhaps soft smoke?
Light rays (only in dusty areas)?
