Brightening up WWII Online

Every so often we find ourselves feeling a bit nostalgic and looking back at some of our older works. In this case we stumbled across the realization that for one reason or another, the game has gotten much darker than any of us are really happy with.

I asked our Production team to start evaluating what we can do with in-game lighting to act as a global enhancer and initial work on this has started. I'd like to share with you some of the work-in-progress screenshots I have been provided with, understanding this may not yet be the completed version and further enhancements may occur.

Adjusting the "Sunrise" lighting section. Coming out of dark, into the morning.

Right around "Noon," or what you'd expect for most of the day time.

Sunset, you can see a bit of the glow on the buildings. It gets progressively darker.

Should we brighten up the game?

• Yes - absolutely!
• No - keep it as it is.
