Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 7 Comments
Over the week or so, Shin’en has been sharing a few technical tidbits about FAST Racing Neo. The studio interacted with fans about the game’s frame rate and more.
Here’s the full roundup:
@MaxWill37699872 Yeah, streets took a lot of resolution. Tho biggest textures are used for the shadows.
— Shin'en Multimedia (@ShinenGames) September 24, 2014
@CrucialSloan 60fps (with minimal dips here and there that we try to iron out)
— Shin'en Multimedia (@ShinenGames) September 24, 2014
@realkeithmartin Cinematic Tonemapping, Motionblur, SSAO, HDR Bloom, Atmospheric Scattering, Godrays etc
— Shin'en Multimedia (@ShinenGames) September 25, 2014
@realkeithmartin Smoke and mirrors all over the place, otherwise we would be at 20fps.
— Shin'en Multimedia (@ShinenGames) September 26, 2014
@AVahne @realkeithmartin No, we use realtime soft shadows. So we can have dynamic weather and the games size is much smaller.
— Shin'en Multimedia (@ShinenGames) October 1, 2014
@HylianCIA @ShinenGames It's realtime. As a race is just a few minutes there are not much visible changes, beside some clouds moving.

@CrucialSloan SSAO is by definition dynamic, tho it's (almost) impossible to get working in 60fps 😉 Technically: Every console is outdated

The bachelors of Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Natsume already unveiled the bachelorettes of Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley. Today, the company also provided a look at the game’s bachelors.
Check out descriptions of each below, courtesy of Siliconera.
Tony, the eldest son of Brutus the Blacksmith, is a talented young man who loves his dad, but struggles with his expectations. Sensitive, serious, yet gentle, he rebels against his father’s strictness. He is training to follow in his father’s footsteps, but there is just one problem: he doesn’t want to be a blacksmith. You’ll need to woo Tony sweetly to discover what his secret ambition is, and to encourage him to reach out and grasp it!
Gilbert is a travelling bard who will stay in the Lost Valley if he finds reason to put down roots; Gilbert rhymes when he talks! Thus, Gilbert’s knowledge is deep and wide; his knowledge of history and lore will be an asset by your side. Humble and gentle to a fault, yet his heart is locked inside the tightest of vaults. He’ll teach you the art of fishing when he arrives; it’s a necessary skill for long winters you must survive! His knowledge of the Harvest Goddess is important to your task, and his wit is as sharp as your favorite axe. Will you woo the poet’s soul so he writes verses for you?
Hunter is a local farmer specializing in animal husbandry. Both he and your first animal will wander inadvertently into the Lost Valley and begin a wonderful friendship…and possibly more! Not just an animal specialist, Hunter’s quiet demeanor hides a keen knowledge about different animal feed recipes, and is one of the characters who will teach you the recipes for the different feeds. Hunter has always known what he wanted to do: care for all things with hooves, feathers, and fur. His four-legged friends have always been his preferred companions, but can you convince him that two-legged companions are even better?
