Rumu Update 2.0 / SteamOS Release

Today we push our major revision in the game engine to the public which solves most of the performance problems and visual fidelity issues faced with our initial release as well as new support for SteamOS / Linux.

This patch includes over 1704 code commits and changes since our last patch over the last seven months.

New Features

• SteamOS and Linux Support

• Full P3 Wide Color Gamut Support on macOS in full Retina Display

• Full RGB Hardware Integration and now working as originally designed (thanks to Razer Inc.) - Sabrina will now take control of your RGB Peripheral devices and talk through it like she does to the strip lighting in the game

• Changed Renderer from Deferred to Forward. Allows for full Multisample Anti-Aliasing support and better performance

• New Anti-Aliasing techniques (MSAA, TAA, CTAA, SMAA). By default all the aliasing mess should now be cleaned up

• Added more Smart Device Interactions

• A completely redeveloped post processing system for Bloom and Color Grading to bring the game to more computers without compromising on visual fidelity

• Baked Lightmaps and Shadows. Lighting is now as we originally planned for release with baked shadows to allow the same visual look across all devices despite graphics settings changes

• New Loading Screen System that gives feedback about loading progress

• New Detective Mode highlight

• Rumu can now spin when Sabrina is talking when she has restricted your movement (unless it’s a sensitive moment)

• Full Game Controller Support

• Added new Graphics options and settings

• New Light Shaft system for Volumetrics

• Now supports massively high resolution displays
