Screenshot comparison Steam vs. Android

[Xanija]

This is what it looks like on Android:



This is what Whoa Nellie looks on Steam DX11 with Standard lighting on (50%/50%):



Why do the colors look better on Android than on DX11? I have been playing around with different light settings, it doesn't really get any better on Steam.

Colors are so much better on Android! Plus there's no seem running across the middle.

Zooming in on your photo, it's interesting how the text on the raised plastics is crisp while the playfield graphics and text are a little fuzzy. I get why you'd do that effect, except we're talking an inch of height and if you were looking through a 40mm lens (approximately the equivalent to our eyes) at 3 feet away, the focus wouldn't be that dramatic. Regardless, the Steam version looks like garbage.

I can't speak for the Steam (or iOS) beta-testing groups, but the Android beta testing group is very active and most versions that come out have a ton of stuff flagged up - especially when it comes to things like lighting and art. I imagine lighting is one area where the mobile and Steam builds differ greatly, because Steam has dynamic lighting vs. fixed/"baked in" lighting on mobile.

Is there a DX9 version of Nellie? That might be an interesting comparison.

Well that and Matt told us it has been sent out with the wrong/old texture - not the release version but an old working version.

So we will soon se an update on this I hope

The new assets didn't make it in the current PC build, from what I've heard, oddly enough.

That’s just terrible. We never even had those in the beta to comment on. And I know I asked too.

 

[Xanija]

It's amazing, with so much time between the last release and this, you'd expect there would have been room for one week more to get things cleaned up before releasing it.

I'm working on this, those are the really old textures and models, somebody did something wrong when they packaged the table. It's honestly unacceptable and I'm pretty pissed.

 

[Xanija]

I thought this would be the case, couldn't imagine this would be the final version.

Looks like someone got distracted by the big juicy melons.

How about the sound? The sound levels on the steam version are really low.

Really? This is FarSight's answer to Zen's beta release of Williams tables?

Big Buck and Nellie were announced nearly two years ago. (Although Buck was announced considerably later)
Seems more unpolished than usual. And oh by the way-I got the Nellie score achievement before I even scored a single point on it.
Haven't even bought the pack yet (it was the trial version)-Imagine that!

The Zen-Williams beta was announced last week. It's just a beta-and already seems better than the TPA verions.

I'm much more excited about the latter-even though I already own the TPA versions of all four WMS tables.

It's been bugged, that's as far as I can go fixing the sound issues.

If anyone has any visual art related issues I'm all ears and will try my best to get them fixed asap.

The star rollovers when lit lose all believability and are blown out, and the plunger has like 2 colors and no detail. It’s like a cartoon.

Thanks. Sorry to bother you with something that's outside your bailiwick.

Kinda hoping you're all eyes when it comes to art issues, and all ears for sound issues.

I'm here all week. Try the veal.

Also the current Woa Nelly on steam is the only table on which I run into performance issues in 4K...

 

[Xanija]

That looks much better now - and in game even better than on this screenshot. Well done!
