Discussion for: vkQuake 1.37 brings contact shadows, gyro aiming

webmaster wrote:
vkQuake 1.37.0 just landed and it is a big one. The headline feature is ambient occlusion from monsters, items and other entities onto nearby level geometry, so that Shambler finally looks like it is standing on the floor instead of floating an inch above it. Also new is independent render resolution: run the game at a lower resolution while menus, text and the HUD stay sharp. Controller players get gyro aiming, flick stick, rumble and a dedicated settings menu. Fresh configs now default to borderless fullscreen, VSync, 4x MSAA and anisotropic filtering.
