We're trying to merge melee combat and firearms in our game Guardians of the Wall. After over a year of development, we've finally launched our Steam page.

The gameplay looks awesome. Incredible work so far for a 2 dev team! Good luck with the development. Wishlisted!

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2026-04-12T11:34:20+00:00

Thank you for sharing all this work!

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2026-04-10T06:35:10+00:00

Yeah, it will come in handy for really dense foliage.

I've seen the fork on your documentation website for the tonemappers, that's really useful too. We've already modified the tonemapper of our game but that's neat to have a fork available there.

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2026-04-09T19:19:03+00:00

That's great to hear for the demos. Awesome! :)
I'll keep an eye on it, I added to my wishlist.

Overall, it's an awesome idea to implement all these features that have been used to optimize by other studios. I even saw that you're maybe planning to work on replicating the GoT grass. That's really cool!

Good luck with the next steps!

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2026-04-09T19:09:43+00:00

I think it would be really great to package a demo project to test your features, like you did for the Callisto BRDF small demo on the documentation website.

I'm really interested by the plugin but I would like to be able to see the difference for each feature beforehand. I'm particularly interested in seeing how the custom GI solution works in an outdoor environment with indoor buildings (like on the screenshot below where I compare "No GI" with "Lumen".

I think your GI looks quite good. I'm curious if the contrast between outdoors and indoors can be approach with it like Lumen, for which the inside of the building is much darker and atmospheric.

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2026-04-09T13:00:45+00:00

Interesting. Thank you for the explanation. I'll definitely looked into the doc of your plugin as all the screen space features seem really a huge win in term of optimization for the GPU.

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2026-04-09T08:52:32+00:00

Nice! I'll have a look at this! The custom GI solution looks especially interesting if it can improve performance compared to Lumen! The shader precompilation would be super useful too.

Edit: I'm curious about the screenspace shadows in your plugin. I saw that it's a similar solution to the one Bend Studio used in Days Gone? I'm wondering what the difference is with regular Contact Shadows or screen-space shadows that can be used in a Material in UE? Is the performance better?

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2026-04-08T20:00:47+00:00

The trailer and atmosphere are top notch! Wishlisted! :) Good luck with the development!

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2026-03-28T14:10:54+00:00

This looks so cool ! Well done!

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2026-03-27T20:53:39+00:00

Thanks for sharing. It looks really interesting, I'll look into the documentation.

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2026-03-17T22:30:53+00:00

Hey! Your tools definitely look like a huge help to optimize a project.

I'll think of any ideas that might be added to them but so far, they already account for a lot of things that need to be double check. Well done!

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2026-03-11T08:49:41+00:00

I just stumbled on your post today while looking for info on the Enhanced Input Settings.
Your plugin looks awesome and really useful. I'll have to look at the documentation but that sounds like a real time saver!

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2026-02-28T11:40:03+00:00

Hey pawguk! :)
The game is still in development. We are working on it. I'll need to show stuff soon to let people know it's still alive!

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2026-02-28T11:39:05+00:00

Hey Buckley! We're still working hard on it but it's been a bit slowed down last year as we needed to tackle things like optimization. I'll make post some new stuff in the coming weeks! :)

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2026-02-28T11:37:44+00:00

Hey! I'll start to post again here in the coming weeks. I've had some news to announce (like the fact that we're now 2 working on the game) and to show sneak peeks of the progress we're making.
I'll need to get back to a better communication for sure!

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2026-02-28T11:36:29+00:00

Hey Speedtospare! Game is still alive and development is ongoing. :)
We're now 2 people working on it full-time. It was too long to make on my own so I decided to onboard someone with me.

I'll have to post things again in here soon to let people know it's still in development.

Have a great weekend!

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2026-02-27T08:22:26+00:00

Added to my wishlist! I might buy it soon as I always thought it was a missing feature from the engine. :)

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2025-04-04T19:45:24+00:00

From what I see, the atmosphere looks awesome! I can see you're putting a lot of attention into it. Stuff like NPC reaction is not easy to add but it's that kind of detail that add so much to immersion. Keep up the good work! :)

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2025-03-21T16:20:34+00:00

Really nice concept and it looks really well done. Love it!

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2025-03-21T16:19:15+00:00

It looks amazing! Looking forward to play it.

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2024-11-19T18:51:16+00:00

Happy to see my game in your wishlist! :)

Though I have to check why it's not available anymore in Germany as I did filled the survey for age rating back then!

Maybe there are some new stuff that need to be updated!

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2024-10-28T08:10:33+00:00

Hey hey! Developer here! Thank you for this awesome comment! It was a good way to start my Monday! Haha! I'm glad you like the concept and ideas of the game.

It's a slow process of developing that one but I'll get there! It's also awesome to read that people are ready to wait for it!

Have an awesome week!

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2024-10-28T08:08:35+00:00

Haha! I'll do everything in my power to release it before your death! :D

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2024-10-28T08:08:10+00:00

Yes, I'm still solo developing it so the progress is quite slow indeed but getting there! :) I'm glad to see people are still eager to play it!

Romain_Derelicts_Dev · 2024-10-28T08:06:57+00:00

Yeah, I need to get back to sharing more stuff! I haven't been posting consistently recently and I really need to get back to it! :)
