Hi Guys,
Do you think it would be worthwhile and possible to extend the content manager to have “FromFile” methods for each content type?
The reasons I would like this are …
-
Libraries can have attached shaders you can easily incorporate into your game. So you keep the distinction between libraries and game code.
-
You can have shaders generated from data at run time.
-
You can have libraries of render items without having to add them directly to a game
-
Makes modding a lot easier, you can just add assets to a folder and they are available in the game
-
You can distance assets from code. For me this would be allowing assets to be on a seperate hard drive than the game.( I am worried that the game I am working on will have terrabytes of terrain data and that is going to be a problem for end users )
What do you guys think?
