Past few weeks

I have managed to get a rain down the window effect, it's not quite as good as the Heavy Rain effect but I think I have got it to a good enough level :) I have a few more things I would like to try with it as I am currently using 3 normal maps 2 specular AND with refraction on all 3 normal maps (so that's refracting through 3 different animated normal maps... sheesh, and looking at it does take a reasonable chunk out of the FPS, sometimes hitting below 25 which is definately a no no, I really do think I can get the same effect with just 1 normal map and 1 specular, and if this is to be used on a few windows, walking a hallway is going to be like looking at photographs.

This is quite a big thing as I think it will set the atmosphere greatly, I have also been working more on the Morgue and have asked tonnes of people what they watch that has morgues in (Facebook!) and I got a ridiculous amount of replies.

So I've been watching those and playing some scarey games, dished out on an XBOX 360 so I could play Alan Wake, paranormal activity occurs, so it is both my type of game and definately referential??? If that's a word.
