The author notes that as visual quality improved, FPS dropped by about 50%, indicating that Sol and Fable faced performance optimization challenges when balancing graphics and rendering speed.
In the replies, they detailed the full process: to nail the water effects for the Golden Gate Bridge world in Arena, they spent a week learning modern water rendering, wrote a Three.js TSL shader using GPT-5.6 Sol, had Fable generate Apo Island in Blender, and integrated everything. The final result looks "insane," and they promised to release a full demo and setup later.
