    While I did find Springheel's brushwork pretty questionable, I guess engine performance must also have come a long way during the recent five years, because I can safely say that the kind of performance issues that he's talking about in this video, just didn't happen to me when I fully opened up my basement with all its unoptimized brushwork. The framerate was capped at a nice 60 FPS no matter how I tried, and with visportals on top of this, and the complexities turned into "func_static":s, an uncapped framerate would just be obscene, at least for graphics cards only a few years old. I no longer have any worries about large areas and vistas - I'll just go nuts. It's gonna be fine.

      Thank you so much for these pointers, Epifire. I'm actually copy-pasting them into a document so that I won't forget them.

      All good! I'm on our Discord more than I'm here on the forums but I'm always happy to talk dev strategies within TDM. Once I land a good studio position, I'm wanting to crank out my very own FM (finally). But these days I'm busy trying to get the professional portfolio in order to make that happen. 

      Very happy to see new blood arriving to the forums though. Keep it up and don't stop asking questions! Source Engine mods kept me interested in development and The Dark Mod later on helped me mature in finding good working balance. If you ever plan on going further with this kind of thing, mods are a fantastic way to learn and find what you do and don't like.

      Thank you for the encouragement. I was (if I interpreted him correctly) just told by another member that I should post less, so your post kind of balances that now.

      As for Discord, I am aware of how to join the TDM channel, but I generally try to keep away from informal places. When I joined this forum I swore that I would keep posts to a minimum this time, but I utterly failed to keep that promise, and now - just a week in - at least one person seems upset with me. My experience is that the more informal you get with people, the greater the risk becomes of personal drama getting in the way of hobbies/work. ...but thank you anyway.
