Alpha vs Beta

Why did Alpha look way better than beta? and alpha was wayyy smoother as well. Like even the player models looked better… In beta their faces are all messed up.

I think there are several reasons for this. First the alpha area was lot smaller, so the lack of optimization had far less of an impact. Also the AI has lot more to do in beta, so again the fact that neither alpha nor beta are optimized and polished shows on performances.

In regards to faces - in beta there are AFAIK faces of real people, but not yet the final faces, in contrast to modeled faces in alpha. I suppose that the fact that the faces are bit messed up can be passed to the fact that the scanning of the faces and integrating them to game is not entirely finished.

Wow real faces? That sounds amazing.

Well they promised it in Kickstarter :slight_smile: and short time before beta came out they asked Czech fans (because they may live near studio) if they are willing to offer their faces for beta. Most of the scanned faces are the members of the studio and their relatives. But some scanning was done. And definitely will be done. The cutscenes should be not only voice acted but also face captured if not full body scanned.

So the general at the beginning with the double chin is someone in real life? LOL

It may be… Some faces are still modeled (especially the ones from main characters, as they want to hire professional actors for them)

Probably yes. He is probably reading your post right now.

Oh yes, he is a real person, but not one from our studio.

But there are a few NPCs with faces from the WH

Yes he is.

That is very cool and very funny omg. I love you guys lol
