GAME GRAPHICS OPTIMIZATION

07/01/2025 GAME GRAPHICS OPTIMIZATION

Hey there, fellow Metas! The Annual Version 2.0 launches in just 4 days, and before the new content drops, we wanted to give you an exclusive sneak peek at an exciting surprise from the developers' optimization list: enhanced graphics performance!

 

As an immersive open-world survival game, our unique and realistic visuals are likely a major draw for many players. However, we've received a variety of feedback about graphics issues and requests for enhancements to the visual quality during gameplay.

 

For the development team, enhancing graphics performance is an ongoing mission. The team has worked tirelessly to implement a comprehensive upgrade in the current areas of visual concern, all to ensure that everyone enjoys an exceptional experience with this year's version. Now, let's dive in and explore the optimized Nalcott!

 

01 Optimization of Character Performance on Mobile Devices

Enhancing "graphics on mobile devices" is currently a key priority for the development team. Based on player feedback regarding character performance issues, we've specifically optimized the lighting and accuracy of character visuals in this update.

In various lighting environments, the improved characters now feature independent lighting, effectively addressing issues related to "poor lighting" and "harsh sunlight"!

 

In terms of model accuracy, every aspect—from hair movement to skin textures—has undergone a complete overhaul. The character customization interface has greatly improved in its presentation within the Wilderness, ensuring that characters no longer fall into the "uncanny valley" from other players' perspectives, truly restoring the realism of their faces!

Additionally, even at the lowest graphics settings, performance has seen a significant boost. Compared to prior optimizations, the texture of clothing, the three-dimensionality of characters, and the details of makeup have all been notably enhanced. This ensures that players can enjoy a satisfying visual experience, even on lower-end devices!

02 Optimization of Lighting in Mobile Scenes

Regarding scene performance, the new version has been enhanced with more refined lighting and visual effects, significantly boosting the realism of the environments!

The previously pitch-black scenes have been completely transformed. In the new lighting environment, the darker areas now showcase layers of detail that closely resemble what the naked eye perceives.

 

03 Optimization of Female Character Animations and Poses (Cross-Platform)

In response to player feedback concerning the running posture of female characters, this version features a complete overhaul. The updated animation is now more graceful and natural, with clothing flowing seamlessly with the movements, significantly enhancing both realism and aesthetics.
