Space dust: have you considered the option of letting people just check a box and remove it?
TL;DRThere are no plans to add an option to remove space dust, since it physically exists and gives a sense of motion, though it is being tweaked to be less intrusive and an AR version has been discussed.
Yeah, I see that a lot, and I understand that it's not to everyone's taste. We're not planning on removing it, just because it physically exists in our space, in our game. It's physically there. It's not an AR thing, because I know there's been conversations about, hang on, what is the purpose of the space dust? I know that it's primarily to make it feel like you can see that you're moving, basically. It gives you that parallax. You take the space dust out, you've got no sense that you're moving. And I know that there'll be some people who want the more realistic side of it, who don't care that they can't see any kind of visual cue. There's been talk of putting it onto an AR, so it's a deliberately artificial space dust kind of thing that helps with that. We did some tests quite a while ago on that sort of thing. Chris is quite keen on keeping the space dust in. One thing I will say is, again, something that I've been doing personally, I've been tweaking the values. It's not the most glamorous of effects, but I've just been looking at maybe not making the streaks quite as big, maybe reducing the amount or increasing the amount, depending on the location. So really just chipping away at that and trying to make them not too intrusive, but so that you still get the benefit of getting that motion.
