Forums - Gaming Discussion - The Tomorrow Children : How Mark Cerny influenced the game

The talented indie studio Q-Games just put online the informations about the technologies used in The Tomorrow Children :
Cascaced Voxel Cone Tracing  for example enables them to simulate lighting in100%  real time (ray-tracing), and uses actual real reflections, and not screen space reflections like most games.

More interesting, it seems this approach was influenced by Mark Cerny himself who challenged them to use the unique PS4 architecture for their next game :

"We took the challenge because several years ago right at the start of the project Mark [Cerny] personally asked us to use it, as other devs will initially use the simpler "PC" gpu pipeline. He wanted someone to try and use all the cool hardware he had spent years putting together :)"

 

We also learn that :

 - The game has freely deform-able geometry ( which is why they use 100% real time lightning )

- A beta is scheduled in the west (maybe in October). Sony should announce it soon.

- They think about adding more and more features (like climate changes).

- More than 50 players online

This feels like the new Fat Princess addictive fun cool online game



The Bitch is back! And better then ever! #BritneyReturns

SONY Bring them BACK for PS4 and VITA!

When I first saw the reveal trailer, The Tomorrow Children really stood out to me with its art style and eerie atmosphere. Can't wait to see the ray tracing and climate changes.



It's incredible, it will be an indie studio with limited budget that will make us dream on technology side.

They lay the foundations for next gen gaming.

It's a visionnary,the PS4 wouldnt have such lead without him, he shows the console is not just selling on hype without reason like some think.

Amazing, can't wait for this game!



So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

Beta soon? Great news, I thought this game is much further away from release.
So many great indie games, and to think I used to dislike indies.
This, Ethan Carter, No Man's Sky, Wild and so many more make me very happy for choosing PS4 this generation, otherwise I'd be missing out on so much quality gaming.



Indies are not anymore gameboy advance games indeed, they make as ambitious games as retail ones

Keiner kann ihn bremsen, keiner macht ihm was vor. Immer der richtige Schuss, immer zur richtigen Zeit. Superfussball, Fairer Fussball. Er ist unser Torschützenkönig und Held.

Knack wasnt a bad game and was impressive tech wise, especially considering the limited budget and dev.
