Eclipse Glow Games has released a new video dedicated to the technical side of their fantasy action game Tides of Annihilation. The video focuses on the project's optimization and reveals details of the developers' "deep technical partnership" with Epic Games and NVIDIA.
Previously shown gameplay footage of the game raised questions among players due to noticeable performance drops during large-scale battles – especially in the fight with the enormous knight. Now, Eclipse Glow Games has revealed that, in collaboration with Epic, they created a new hierarchical Nanite attachment system for the giant boss model. In addition, Epic specialists helped the team analyze performance issues on both CPU and GPU, as well as optimize textures, logic, and animations. All of this should significantly improve frame rate stability during particularly large battles.
The collaboration with NVIDIA was not limited to the already announced support for DLSS and path tracing. The studio confirmed that in the future, the developers and NVIDIA will engage in joint optimization at the driver level to ensure stable game performance across different platforms by the time of release.
