Great news from the Squadcast

[MalfunctionM1Ke]

Hello Guys,

Tanuki was on yesterdays Squadcast alongside with mu, who said that Squad is working on a particle-effect that allows dust to be kicked up while landing and take-off.

Go to 9:40min.

Later on (16:50) he said also that we shouldnt expect giant, long lasting plumes but maybe something like this:

I'd love to see the flame pits being utilised on launch, too.

Mu said the flame trench/pits will work with liftoff

You had me at dust! That will be really cool, can't wait!

[boxman]

I hope they add that effect for rover wheels as well.

I would love to see footprints and rover tracks left on the surface of moons and planets with sandy environments. I know this might be hard to simulate, but it wold be a nice touch.

I can't figure out how to get my lander's shadows back...

but if I could have shadows, AND dust, that'd just be swell

I think a pre-defined mess of footprints and such appearing when you plant a flag would be a good start!

And lies are expensive...

Dust would be awesome.

I think to have shadows your render quality has to be at least simple

I'm all for this. If there are performance concerns, a slider/option should be added in the graphics menu like the rest of the graphical details.

I doubt there will be any performance concerns, and it sounds great. Probably pretty easy to do as well, but I don't know much about that side of programming.

One question, are they talking about 0.23.5 or later in the game?

Later in the game

possibly .24 maybe later if it doesn't work out.
