Development history of Tempest Rising
Tempest Rising is a real-time strategy (RTS) game developed by Slipgate ironworks in collaboration with 2B Games and published 3D Realms и THQ Nordic. The game was announced in August 2022 and was scheduled to release in 2023, but the developers later announced that the release would be delayed to allow for polishing and gameplay improvements. The game takes place in an alternate version of 1997, after a nuclear war, as a result of which a mysterious organism called “Tempest” appeared on Earth. Players can choose between three factions, each with unique traits, strategic approaches, and economies.
Development process Tempest Rising started with the idea of creating a classic RTS game that would recall the golden era of the genre, but at the same time introduce modern technology and innovation. The main goal of the developers was to combine the best aspects of classic strategies such as Command & Conquer и StarCraft, with new gameplay elements that will attract both genre veterans and new players.
The development team included industry veterans who had worked on various successful projects, allowing them to apply their knowledge and experience in creating Tempest Rising. They focused on creating a deep and engaging story that would unfold against the backdrop of large-scale battles and complex strategic challenges. Much attention was paid to the development of factions, each of which had to be unique not only in terms of appearance, but also in terms of game mechanics and strategies.
One of the key aspects of development was close interaction with the player community. The developers actively participated in discussions on forums and social networks, collecting feedback and suggestions from players. This allowed them to make the necessary adjustments and improvements to the game at all stages of development, which ensured a high level of quality in the final product.
During development Tempest Rising the team faced a number of technical and creative challenges. They had to optimize the game to work on various platforms, including PC and next-gen consoles. They also strived to create dynamic and realistic graphics that would meet the high standards of modern games. This required the use of advanced rendering and optimization technologies to create rich, detailed game worlds.
The developers also paid attention to creating realistic physics and animations, which added depth and realism to the gameplay. Every action in the game, be it combat or construction, had to feel alive and dynamic, which required careful attention to every detail. This included creating complex animations for units and objects, as well as working out interactions with the environment.
Graphics in Tempest Rising
Graphics in Tempest Rising plays a key role in creating an atmospheric and immersive gaming experience. The game takes advantage of the possibilities Unreal Engine 5, allowing developers to create photorealistic textures, complex particle effects, and dynamic lighting. These technologies make it possible to create detailed and vibrant game worlds that are striking in their realism and visual appeal.
One of the key technologies used in the game is Lumen, which provides dynamic global illumination and realistic reflections. This allows scenes to look alive and rich, giving the impression that the game world truly lives and breathes. Lumen also allows you to create complex lighting effects that change depending on the conditions in the game, be it time of day or weather conditions. This adds depth and realism to every scene, making the game more immersive.
Environment in Tempest Rising includes a variety of locations, from ruined cities to exotic landscapes. Each location has been carefully designed and filled with small details, which creates the impression of a real and living world. The developers took inspiration from a variety of sources, including nature and architecture, to create unique and memorable locations. Technology nanite allowed them to process a huge number of polygons in real time, which significantly improved the detail of objects and the environment.
Visual effects such as smoke, fire and magical attacks add dynamism and atmosphere to battles, making them more intense and exciting. These effects were created using advanced rendering technologies, allowing them to look realistic and impressive. The developers also paid attention to creating smooth and realistic animations for characters and objects, which adds depth and realism to the gameplay.
Particular attention was paid to the development of characters and units so that they look and move realistically. This involved creating complex animations for various actions such as attacks, movement, and interaction with the environment. The developers used motion capture and animation technologies to create smooth and realistic character movements, which adds depth and immersion to the gameplay.
Game engine
Tempest Rising runs on the engine Unreal Engine 5, which is one of the most advanced and powerful game engines on the market. This engine provides developers with a wide range of capabilities to create high-quality visual effects, animations and physics, allowing them to realize their creative ideas at the highest level.
One of the key technologies of the engine is Lumen, providing dynamic global illumination and realistic reflections. This technology allows you to create lively and rich scenes that change depending on the conditions in the game, be it time of day or weather conditions. Lumen also allows you to create complex lighting effects that add depth and realism to every scene.
Another important technology used in Unreal Engine 5Is nanite, which allows you to process a huge number of polygons in real time. This greatly improves the detail of objects and environments, making game worlds more realistic and visually impressive. nanite also allows developers to create complex and detailed models without sacrificing game performance.
The game engine also supports a complex physics system, which allows you to accurately recreate interactions with the environment and objects in the game. This makes combat more realistic and immersive, allowing players to use the environment to gain a tactical advantage. Unreal Engine 5 also supports rendering and optimization technologies that allow you to create photorealistic textures and particle effects that add visual appeal to the game.
Support DirectX 12 allows you to make the most of the capabilities of modern video cards and processors, ensuring high performance and stability of the game. This is especially important for real-time strategy games, where smooth gameplay and high frame rates are key aspects. Unreal Engine 5 also supports multiple platforms, allowing developers to optimize the game to run on PC and next-gen consoles.
| DIFFERENT QUALITY MODES |
Maximum graphics settings в Tempest Rising provide photorealistic images with highly detailed textures, dynamic lighting and realistic reflections. Particle effects such as smoke, fire and explosions look impressive, and smooth animations of characters and environments create a deep immersion in the game world.
Minimum graphics settings reduce texture resolution and simplify lighting and shadows, which makes the image less detailed, but still of high quality. Reflections and particle effects have also been simplified, providing a stable gaming experience on less powerful systems. The visual experience remains at a high level, allowing players to enjoy the game even on outdated devices.
