The Ray Reconstruction Update

Path tracing, as opposed to Ray tracing, is a term typically referring to a ground truth renderer. It does so by accumulating photons on the screen after bouncing them around in a stochastic way, meaning randomly sampled and integrated over time. In other words, it's photorealistic. The problem with real time path tracing is that it usually produces a very noisy image, since we can only afford a single photon sample per pixel. Thanks to NVIDIA's new DLSS 4 Ray Reconstruction technology, we can fully denoise the rendered image in a relatively stable manner. In Archean, we have implemented the path tracer (with ray reconstruction) as a separate renderer that can be toggled in the settings. This option is only available on NVIDIA graphics cards. It will work on RTX 2000 series, though it's recommended to use a 4000 series for better performance.
On the left is before this update, on the right is after enabling the Path Tracer and Ray Reconstruction.


Known issues:

  • Shadow ghosting and pixel smudging with fast movements
  • Blurry terrain when the sun is low
  • Very poor performance in vehicles made with unpainted metal blocks
We will keep improving it for sure, stay tuned for future updates. Full changelog:
  • Implemented DLSS Ray Reconstruction and a Fully Path-Traced Renderer (stochastic Ray-Traced ambient lighting, rough metal reflections, and soft shadows from unlimited lights without affecting performance)
  • Added an option to rasterize screens of components/dashboard as full resolution overlays to make them clearer and easy to read (enabled by default)
  • Dashboards: moved emissive layer to front face instead of back face
  • Admin Panel: Fixed CTD when sorting by alias/owner in ascending order with multiple entities having an empty alias/owner
  • Increased the Sun's temperature (changes the color of the atmosphere and intensity)

Archean is a realistic and immersive engineering sandbox / space sim.
In this game you start on Earth but 3 billion years in the past, in the Archean eon.

This game (and its custom engine) is being developed by a single programmer in a small team of two.

What kind of game is it (currently)?

* Engineering Sandbox
* Solo or Multiplayer
* Open World
* First person
* Space Sim
* Full size Earth and Moon
* In-game coding
* Creative mode

What we will add in future versions:

* Survival mode
* Full scale solar system
* A focus on exploration
* LOTS more content
* Vehicle Destruction and PVP
* SDK for modders
