0.56 is all about fixing the sore issues of 0.5 such as lack of vibrancy, contrast and the yellow tint.

Added Fog sliders

This was a planned feature I wanted to implement, but I wanted to hear your feedback first. I've learned that some have a hard time to catch the difference or even replicate the look of my video. So by default, I increased the fog multiplied from 1.0 to 1.5... and you can now adjust fog yourself! 

1 (as it is in 0.5)

1.5 (default)

3

The normal value is 1. A good sweet-spot is around 1.5-2.0. Anything above 2 is too much but I still provide the freedom for more. 

I also added an extra slider called Fog Sun Amplitude. You can now go crazy with fog and take some really cool screenshots:

New Tone Mapping Functions

Stated in the 0.5 release post, the contrast in 0.5 is at its lowest. Finding a good balance is tough but thankfully, I managed to grab not only the contrast back but also all the color lost thanks to a new tone mapper! We're now using Peter's conversion of Uchimura to gain full control of all colors on the screen. Reality can now be whatever I want:

"DRIVECLUB" Function (default)

"S K Y" Function

"NATURAL" Function

All 3 functions serve their own purpose:

DRIVECLUB is simply an attempt to achieve the look of the game as close as possible;
S K Y mimics the original S K Y's ppfilter brightness and contrast;
NATURAL is the same look as D C 0.4 and 0.5

Also Reflection Improvement

Pure

D C 0.56

D C 0.4/0.5

Reflection now look more natural and less videogame-like. Thanks to the new tone mapper, there's more depth and colors, the overall image dimmer and more vibrant.

Temporary Experimental Feature

I added a new experimental feature for shadows. It's meant to make the game playable during twilight time if a map has 3d trees. This works very well on my end. If no one has trouble with it, we may just keep it!

That's all, I hope you will enjoy D C 0.56! As always, if you have any feedback, don't hesitate to leave a comment. Thanks everyone. I'll catch you all soon.
