Description:
Afterpulse is a game for mobile devices that uses the latest version of the Karisma engine, which implements state-of-the-art graphics algorithms typically used in console and desktop games. The engine and tools were developed in-house with almost no external dependencies. The result is the best-looking mobile game to date. Features include:
• Use of low-overhead modern APIs like Metal and Vulkan
• Physically based linear renderer
• Advanced lighting
• Complex post-process effects, including filmic tonemapping, lightshafts, FXAA,
and color grading
• GPU particles
• Dynamic weather (rain and snow)
• Rigid solid physics and ragdolls
