Hello,
first I must say that the game is really good with huge potential! I have played some over 30 hours and I really enjoy it. Of course this is beta, so bugs are counted and the things that are mentioned here in the forum will definitely improve (especially the combat system).
Here are some comparative photos of alpha 0.5 and beta. In both versions, I set the maximum detail, and advance graphics on max, and tried to take pictures at the same time playing.
So look at it and let me know what you think about it. Personally, I like it a little more in Alfe 0.5 shadows, especially in places where the sun does not light enough (treetop see comparative, or place under a bush) or SVOTI is off (maybe reduce) in the beta?
