Very pleased to announce a new version of The Forbidden Arts has just gone live. The highlight of this update is a new version of The Green Vale world map as it's been revamped once again, and it feels really smooth and fluid and we believe the design is much better now. There is new animated grass that can be quite taxing on lower end hardware. With this new grass we run 160fps on a GTX 1080 and i7 6700k rig. It's by far the biggest performance hit we experience as we normally run the game on average at about 300fps. If you have a lower-end rig and you experience lag, then please visit the video options menu and disable animated foliage, which will turn off the animated grass and dramatically increase FPS. Such features are not meant for low-end hardware. Expect more improvements to remaining world maps in the near future. Besides modifying this world map we've been hard at work on lots more. Here's what else has been changed/improved in version 0.7.1.0: - Modified the background story cutscene - Fixed/Improved some AI - Fixed some death trigger colliders in Temple of Spirit - Various Bug Fixes Check out the updated story trailer below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y27S6BQWpTg **Known Issue: Changing quality settings in the video options menu during gameplay can have weird effects on various shaders in the game with some video cards. Restarting the game will fix this. We are working on a permanent fix and will implement it in a future build.** Stay posted for more updates and thanks for playing The Forbidden Arts.
