Do you notice the plants blowing in the wind too? These things are all just barely scratching the surface of 1.19's abilities, and with the source code those abilities can be expanded even more. Here is some stuff people have been doing with the new updates.
Here are some tests I did when the new engine was released. You can see the new higher poly pillar next to the old one, and higher res textures. (The jagged look on the high-res pillar is from the texture not matching up. It was just a quick test of the new engine)




Here are some more images of what people have been using the engine's new abilities to create. And keep in mind, this is only the beginning. People are just wetting their feet. Give it a few more years and you will see great things.





































(Can you imagine playing Thief when it has objects that look this good?)




















I saved SlipTip's pics for last, because they are by far the most outstanding (as usual).





















Keep in mind that all of these are WIP. Also, some are better than others. The new engine gives new potential, but it is up to us to get that potential out of it. I honestly think that the Dark engine has an exciting future.
