Fur on the first game was a shell shader. No POM nor cards. We're investigating a similar technique for the new game. I'll probably talk about our tests at some point.

That's an excellent question. We're still investigating different methods, looking to balance a satisfying look with a fairly simple and streamlined authoring pipeline. But once we decide I'll definitely do a post about it on our website!

We'll definitely look at this when the time comes as we concentrate on PC release first before porting on consoles.

We will leverage Lumen and Nanite of course but we still work the same way as when we were using Unity, in a reasonable and conservative manner while (hopefully) achieving satisfactory visuals.
Stutters are indeed very high on our list of things to avoid...

The pictures on the post were all raw .png files, I just replaced them with much smaller .jpgs (without degrading quality too much). Can you let me know if they work for you now?

I don't, so it's okay I guess... ;)

Cheers Duncan! Very happy to hear this indeed!
Especially since I've been a fan of your art for years... ;)

What?! But that's a lie!!! You can clearly see on the screenshot, people say "Terrible", the "Team is Terrible"! Right? Right...?!
