    Admit it, you photoshop-ed in those clouds! (*grins*) They are simply stunning, amazing, beautiful.  Bruno et al. have made Thronefast even more spectacular.

    Many thanks for sharing.

    Wow. That looks pretty bloody amazing. I'm so hyped about this Twitch stream. News on it can't come soon enough :). I can tell I'm going to be spending a lot of time looking at the clouds :).

    Have to agree, the sky looks "unreal" realistic! The colors look much move alive as well...overall, a really huge jump in quality. Nice work, please show more :)

    Have to agree with Kumu on the clouds, they look almost "photoshop-ed". I showed my wife and she said something about the clouds, and she is not a gamer...fantastic job! Also where is the before and after on this shot? =Þ

    100% real in-game clouds thanks to our new lighting and shaders :)

    The only thing I ever photoshop is our copyright watermark at the bottom right corner on every screenshot, that's it!

    Holy crap, this looks seriously nice.

    Talking about clouds, and how amzing and life-like these look, I have a question for those with developer experience as I have no experience in that realm.

    Is it possible to randomize cloud formations so they evolve, change, reform, dissipate, etc... much as do real clouds?

    Well done, VR.

    Unity does so I am sure we will do our best to support it too my friend :)

    I can almost feel the humidity and wind picking up because of the detail in the rain clouds and lighting. I hope you guys bring out the ghosts and goblins during the rain and at night time like EQ. Loved that thrill of not being able to see far in front of me - heart pounding all the while - hoping to avoid a corpse run : )

    With clouds like these why do I  even need to go out side. Never going outside again!

    Looks good Kilsin.  Would look even better if there was a Blood Mage standing on that road.

    I cant say enough about the quality of the sky. Such an awesome job. I cant wait to see it for myself. If it looks that good in a still shot the live shot should blow my mind.

    @CanadinaXegony Well given his timezone, I'd be much more worried if he's posting in the "afternoon". :)

     The lighting/shader update is easily the most visible change in the game in the last 6 months. Really well done... congrats!
