DEVELOPMENT HISTORY

Eternal Strands is a sci-fi RPG developed by independent studio Stellar Arc, which first announced the project in 2019. The team's main goal was to create a unique gaming experience that combines a deep story, non-linear choices, and an open world. Development was an up-and-down affair, as the team consisted of a small number of developers, which limited resources and work speed.

EternalStrandsDemoSteam Win64 Shipping 2025 01 22 19 09 54 310

The game's key feature is the idea of ​​exploring space through the prism of philosophical questions about life, death, and infinity. This approach sets Eternal Strands apart from most science fiction games. The developers worked closely with scientists and philosophers to create a believable and engaging world filled with moral dilemmas and mysteries.

The process of creating the game was accompanied by a number of difficulties. The team postponed the release several times, explaining this by the need to refine the game mechanics and eliminate technical problems. The COVID-19 pandemic also made its adjustments, complicating the team's work and slowing down the overall process. However, thanks to the support of the community, which actively participated in alpha and beta tests, the developers were able to bring the project to completion.

EternalStrandsDemoSteam Win64 Shipping 2025 01 22 19 10 06 058

Ultimately, Eternal Strands became an example of how a small but motivated team can create an ambitious project that offers players something more than just entertainment. Despite some shortcomings, the game received positive reviews for its original approach to the theme and deep storyline.

GRAPHICS

The graphics of Eternal Strands are average compared to modern standards. The developers used Unreal Engine 5, which allowed the integration of modern technologies such as ray tracing and dynamic lighting. However, due to the studio's limited resources, the engine's potential was only partially realized.

EternalStrandsDemoSteam Win64 Shipping 2025 01 22 19 15 08 533

The level of detail in the environment and characters varies. Although the locations of space stations, ships and planets look varied, some textures seem simplified, and the animation of the characters' movements does not always meet modern standards. Despite this, the designers managed to create a unique atmosphere by working with light and colors. The landscapes of the planets, filled with strange plants and celestial phenomena, attract attention with their originality.

The peculiarity of graphics is the use of technologies Unreal Engine 5, including Lumen and Nanite, which provide realistic lighting and highly detailed objects. For example, the movement of space objects, the changing position of stars and weather effects create a feeling of living space. These details add charm to the game, despite the overall modesty of the graphic component.

EternalStrandsDemoSteam Win64 Shipping 2025 01 22 19 15 24 435

The game's optimization is a mixed bag. On powerful systems, it works stably, maintaining high resolution and smooth frames. However, on weak PCs, performance issues may arise, especially in open worlds with a large number of objects. The developers regularly release patches, but many problems remain unresolved.

Overall, Eternal Strands' graphics get the job done, creating the right atmosphere and style, but they lack the polish to compete with larger titles.

GAME ENGINE

Eternal Strands was developed using Unreal Engine 5, which became a key tool in the creation of the game. The engine gave the developers the opportunity to implement large-scale open worlds and complex game mechanics. However, due to the studio's limited budget, the engine's potential was not fully utilized.

One of the key features Unreal Engine 5 is the support of Lumen and Nanite technologies. Lumen provides realistic lighting that adapts to changes in the environment, creating realistic effects of light and shadow. Nanite allows the use of high-poly models without compromising performance, which is especially important for detailed locations.

EternalStrandsDemoSteam Win64 Shipping 2025 01 22 19 15 49 227

The physics model in the game is average. The simulation of spaceship movement and gravity looks realistic, but the interaction of objects sometimes seems simplified. Collisions do not always look realistic, which somewhat reduces immersion in the gameplay.

EternalStrandsDemoSteam Win64 Shipping 2025 01 22 19 16 07 244

Engine optimization raises questions. Despite the possibilities Unreal Engine 5, the game suffers from frame rate drops and long loading times, especially on low-end systems. The situation is better on current-gen consoles, but there are still technical issues. Unreal Engine 5 provides ample opportunities for modifications, which makes the game attractive to the community. Players can create their own locations, scenarios, and even new mechanics, which expands the potential of Eternal Strands.

So using Unreal Engine 5 was a major step forward for Eternal Strands, but its implementation leaves room for improvement, showing that even powerful tools require significant resources to achieve maximum results.

QUALITY

Minimum settings:

The game reduces the clarity of textures and the detail of the environment, simplifies or disables some graphical effects (such as complex shadows and detailed reflections). As a result, the picture looks simpler, colors may be less saturated, and objects are more "flat". This allows you to achieve acceptable performance on less powerful hardware.

Maximum settings:

This includes high-quality textures, detailed models, and additional visual effects (improved lighting, realistic shadows, more detail at a distance). The picture looks much more realistic and rich, but requires more powerful components for a stable frame rate.
