| THE GRAFICAL PART |
This subsection of our review highlights the main graphical aspects of this game. Particular attention is paid to the version of the graphics engine used, the version of the API used, graphic settings and the quality of development of the main visual aspects.
| SUPPORTED OS AND GRAPHICS API |
Nightingale supported Windows10/11.
The priority and main graphics API for Banishers Nightingale is DX12.
| GAME ENGINE |
Developed by Inflexion Games, Nightingale is a unique survival title with building and exploration elements that takes full advantage of Unreal Engine 5to provide players with an immersive gaming experience. Go to Unreal Engine 5 was made to take advantage of two key engine innovations: Lumen and Nanite. These technologies significantly improve the quality of lighting and the display of geometry in the game, respectively.
Lumen в Unreal Engine 5 Provides realistic lighting and reflections in real time, allowing you to create a more vibrant and impressive game world. nanite, on the other hand, controls virtualized geometry so that objects far away from the player look better as they get closer. These technologies have enabled the creation of more complex and detailed scenes without sacrificing performance, which is especially important for an open world game where players can freely explore a variety of landscapes.
integration process Unreal Engine 5 Nightingale was carefully planned and included an upgrade from the previous version of Unreal Engine 4. This transition required significant effort to update and adapt code and assets to the new features and standards of UE5. A key aspect was the use of version control and automation tools to ease the integration process and minimize potential conflicts when merging changes.
One of the main reasons for switching to UE5 was the desire of developers to take advantage of the improved lighting quality and increased polygon budget that the new engine offers. Lumen and Nanite allow for more accurate light reproduction and a significant increase in the number of polygons in the game, which makes the Nightingale game world more realistic and detailed. These technologies not only improve the visual quality of the game, but also help players become more immersed in the gameplay.
The transition to Nanite required additional effort because the developers also wanted to take advantage of Virtual Shadow Maps. Supporting interoperability between Nanite and non-Nanite assets allowed for a gradual transition, ensuring a seamless gaming experience during the transition. This means players can expect improved performance with Virtual Shadow Cards as they convert assets to use Nanite, providing incentive to work on this transition and insight into how it will impact game performance.
One of the important aspects of the work on Nightingale was the introduction of Level Instances and Packaged Level Actors. In UE4, the team had difficulty working with different prefab implementations, but the introduction of Packaged Level Actors opened up new possibilities for procedurally building environments in Nightingale. These tools have allowed developers to create more complex and interesting game worlds, improving the gaming experience and giving players more opportunities to explore and interact with the game environment.
Overall, Nightingale's transition to Unreal Engine 5 is a significant step forward in gaming, giving developers powerful tools to create a more realistic and immersive gaming world. With the use of cutting-edge technologies such as Lumen and Nanite, as well as improvements in the development process and the integration of new features, Nightingale promises to be one of the most anticipated games in the survival genre. With UE5, the developers have focused on creating a deep and realistic world that immerses players in a unique atmosphere of adventure and exploration. Nightingale promises to offer players not only the highest level of visual immersion, but also a unique gaming experience thanks to advanced technologies and an innovative approach to creating the game world.
