This video has a decidedly technical focus and reveals the studio’s “deep technical partnership” with Unreal Engine maker Epic Games and NVIDIA to greatly improve the game’s optimization. The previous footage showcased colossal fights, such as against the Giant Knight, where the frame rate clearly dropped significantly.
With the help of Epic, the developers of Tides of Annihilation created a new hierarchical mounting solution for the Giant Knight’s Nanite mesh. Epic also helped analyze performance issues on both the CPU and GPU sides, implementing tighter control over texture maps, logic, and animation to reduce computation costs and subsequently improve the frame rate during this boss fight.
