Mesh and Model LODs, Sun Shadows, Custom materials, procedural AND interactive grass, heightmaps for terrain, 64-bit serversâŚ
This is INSANE.
Cool. What exactly are âPhased Game Updatesâ? Isnât that already what happens?

Nope, phase 2 are sun shadows. Phase 3 is supposed to be everything else. Without phase 3 future is bright wouldnât be half of what we expect it to be.

Iâm not let down at all. Theyâre obviously laying the groundwork for phase 3 (and beyond) with all the rendering updates planned for this year. I can wait a few months for 100% FIB.
Also it will probably look significantly better with the other things theyâre implementing until then.

I think I worded that poorly. The new lighting upgrades are definitely great, however whatâs coming in phase 3 is even more monumental compared to what we have so far.
The progress being made so far on FIB has impressed me and I look forward to itâs continuing development.
Terrain Vegetation
Grass and rocks become procedurally placed on terrain surface. Grass will procedurally react to character movement.
OH WOW OKAY! I am EXTREMELY excited for this! Realism for games will be so much easier, especially since it will react to character movement! Please make it a toggle, though!

I canât wait for the future is bright sun shadows!
Universe scripts, 64-bit servers, type-checking lua, STREAMING min radius (For games that need a minimum view distance), custom materials, AND MORE.
Hereâs to a great 2019! (Even though itâs already April)
Excited to see these changes being rolled out

Looking at the updated road map, there are a few things I am really excited for.
Terrain Vegetation - This sounds pretty cool. I hope that performance doesnât change with the grass.
Typed Lua - This is going to make scripting a bit faster, so thank you.
Script Collaboration - As a developer who works with others, this sounds amazing.
Fast Game Testing for Large Worlds - YAY! Finally, I wonât have to wait so long to test my games!
Overall, most of the items on the road map sound awesome and I canât wait to see them put in action! Thank you to everyone who is going to or is currently working on these!

Iâm glad to see streaming enabled is being heavily optimized. I think streaming enabled is such an important tool, if Roblox can figure out the kinks.
Looking forward to all of these other changes.

hype hype hype! canât want for these features
Based on the wording, will object shadowing be available for light instances on the sun shadows update or will it fall under phase 3? i.e player character casting shadows via fire light
