Very interesting. Will you continue to update this when they finally add real night backgrounds? As it stands having either A ) a clear sky, or B ) a cloudy sky, for every battle in the game, is very limiting.

Atm is very soon to tell. I have no idea if the devs are planning in adding searchlights or starshells as an example. If yes, then a different reshade variant with other effects is probaly needed.

Hello,

I have the STEAM version and I cannot activate it. Where do I have to copy the folder?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts

Thanks!

The installation instructions are very easy to follow.

thank you!! I'm going to prove it.

Thank you very much, looks amazing.

 

Tip for the Devs, your team is small.  There is a massive modding community that understands Unity that will greatly improve the quality of life of the game. 

Look to Kerbal Space program.  The vanilla game is fairly sparse, but the modding support is good, so the content is extensive.

If you team is small, focus on making the game community extendable and include steam workshop support.

UPDATE:

• lowered contraste
• minor tweaks to sharpness, shadows, exposure
• ambient light shader removed (not needed anymore)

I hope I managed to get a more natural and realistic look. Feedback is welcome.

I am still working on the new version. I think it is almost done. Just doing minor tweaks. I will also include a non RTX version for low-mid engines.
