after the recent update I've seen that you can look into caves THROUGH WALLS with submarine weapons, it completely ruins the immersion and kind of defeats the whole point of exploring a cave without knowing what you'll find.

Just make it so you can't look through rocks in general.

#

Just like how you can't look through the hull of a submarine.

I assume it wasn't done because it's resource-intensive. And if you're planning to block the player's view from the periscope, you also need to block the light from reaching into the cave, for consistency.

#

So it's one of those changes that would've been a no-brainer if the game actually handled it well.

I was told that some people wanted this "see-through cave" to be a thing for whatever reason

#

which is js... kinda dumb, To say it lightly.

Any change that's ultimately good for the game will face some opposition.

I feel like you could always look through cave walls though... but right I would prefer solid walls that break line of sight for caves specifically!

@true urchin Exceptionally little other then basic 2d blending operations. Doesn't even use the z-buffer.

#

Id wager id get a whole 5fps more if I upgraded from my 1060 to a 4080 or whatever is out now.

Just realized you can look through level walls and it looks cursed as hell

#

Why devs please

#

And the whole point of caves is that you cant see whats lurking inside this cannot be a intentional change right?

pallid basin
#

There's your "why".

#

This is a new thing right

pallid basin
#

No.
