I bet you would say the same thing about shadows and shaders before we got to know about the update.

kompressor said it, not me

They never said it's not possible.
Who knows, sometime they might come up with a way to make it not lag.

it's because of the lighting engine (or something) that kompressor is using is really inefficient. he could've used a different one but apparently it was huge and it was larger than the default blockland itself

I actually wouldn't mind, as long as we got cool shadows everywhere.

Stop acting like you know what you're talking about please.

"We have to rerender the whole scene at least twice for every shadow casting light source. Imagine taking your framerate and dividing it by (4 + # of shadowcasting lights * 2). In other words, if you get 60fps right now, you would get 6 fps with just one or two shadowcasting lights.

So we are going to just do one directional light for now. Maybe eventually we will allow multiple lights to cast shadows."

Yes I've read that post, too.
What I'm saying is that it would be hard to believe that shadows are possible before Kompressor made the S&S topic.
I'm also saying that multiple shadow light sources might be possible sometime sometime in the future without too much lag.

i dunno but i'm sure theres a way to allow lights to cast shadows. if not, there will be soon in the future.

rumor, very unlikely.

v8 and v9 were released on the 8th.
Rotondo had a server with some weird server preview image, to which people decoded it with morse code or somthing and somehow got August 8th out of it - or something like that.
