This is a 1 person job?! It looks practically photorealistic. That's absolutely wild.

- smusamashah 4mo agoNot to dismiss the effort by dev, but all Unreal engine games look photoreal these days. My point is that photorealism does not show effort these days.
- Sharlin 4mo agoNo engine in the world can make bad assets look good.

- uxhacker 4mo agoAre we talking about train engines or games engines:)
- arjie 4mo agoOh wow, I didn't know engines provided that much functionality. Thank you.
- rcoveson 4mo agoMost of the review is about the art assets, and I doubt the big ones (e.g. the trains themselves) are off-the-rack Unreal assets. An engine like Unreal 5 will cast your assets in harsh relief. Which is to say, if your game's assets look custom and look good in Unreal 5, it does indeed demonstrate effort and skill.
- smusamashah 4mo agoIt's the lighting etc that provide photo realism with Unreal. Even the demo that comes with Unreal where a robot is running around cubes on a small plain looks photoreal.
- chii 4mo ago> It looks practically photorealistic. what has improved a lot recently is the physically based rendering - specifically, the lighting. Looking at the steam page, this train game has that type of lighting. Another game that uses similarly realistic lighting is https://store.steampowered.com/app/2406770/Bodycam/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2406770/Bodycam/
- chaostheory 4mo agoWhen the dev for BodyCam posted his initial streams, I thought it was fake. Also was a solo dev though I think he either has a partner or a team now
