"Wake" - Complete :)

Gonna be picky here if you're after quality but, hopefully, performance as well.

First what I like to suggest is to re-adjust the solar rays. They're going right through the bricks below the window in the second screenshot for example, where they should normally stop as soon they hit an object. So either make them really short (If that works.) or change their angle.

Also, be careful with how many shadow casting spotlights you use, it can really stress the computer a lot of it is overdone, I suggest reading the Wiki about properly using the lights.

Last but not least, in my opinion the carpets in the last image are a bit overdone, I'd say it is better looking to lay a few less, but make them larger, it would just look better.

Otherwise, nicely done, looks promising.

Thanks for the useful criticisms. I've adjusted the angle of the Billboards as you said.

As far as a bunch of shadowcasts, I don't use very many at all actually. The "Gobo" feature creates an illusion of way more shadows than actually exist.

Carpets yeah, dumb idea to put a bunch of 4v4 squares lol
