Hi, we expect to start coding in ~5 weeks. The whole project will last more than a year, but we plan to have a first version in ~7 months. For this version we won't need any advanced features, only the standard GL fixed functionality and shadows. Depending on this version we will decide if and which advanced features we will add (expecially shaders).
Is it difficult to port the advanced shadows feature from 1 to 2? Is someone already working on it?
