Following on from the addition of OccluderShapeSphere in 3.4 , lawnjelly now brings us a more adaptable and easy way to add basic occlusion culling in the form of the OccluderShapePolygon. Anything behind the polygon will be culled from view. Add an Occluder node to your scene, and choose to create an OccluderShapePolygon.

We are lucky that despite the culling of thousands of 5-star reviews, only a handful of people rated the game 3-stars or lower and so our average is still a respectable 4.92 The only way we encourage reviews is through an in-game reminder on the mobile version which seems to be the industry standard. but even so, the question of Why?

Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. It works by implementing voxel cone tracing in a way that is friendlier with low end GPUs and high end mobile. Implement post process effects: DOF Blur, Bloom and Tone Mapping. TODO for Milestone #4 (January 2017). Add Clustered lighting (before this all is forward).

Improve Culling: Portals (rewrite as polygon-based) and Rooms. This means: Cubemap arrays are not supported in older hardware, mobile and WebGL2, and reflections need to be put into an atlas (for single-pass forward or clustered). Blending of cubemap faces is not supported in mobile and WebGL2, making blurred reflections look terrible.

This ensures great compatibility with all desktop PCs, mobile devices and WebGL 2. And the list goes on. In the future, this might be the same case with newer rendering technologies.
