So what is the purpose of Upscaler? Well, if the name didn’t make it obvious, its purpose is to enhance the graphical performance of any game into which it is implemented. How? Upon initial release, users will have access to Nvidia’s AI image upscaling solution, DLSS. We at Conifer have decided that just one upscaling technique is not enough. We have been working hard to prepare others - including AMD’s FSR - for the market.

Technology has always had an immense potential to be an outlet for human expression, from the invention of the paintbrush to the introduction of the first digital art program. In the modern era, the creation of art has become more and more abstract, so much so that the very idea of what constitutes “art” is often questioned. The answer to us is pretty simple: the expression of the human spirit through creative means. And to us, the purpose of technology is equally simple: to expand the scope and scale of this creative process.

Our first step as a company in contributing to the canon of artistic expression is a small one, but nonetheless important. If we can help just a few developers create their art, then we are well on our way to our final goal. In order for the potential of technology to be truly realized, much of the existing development infrastructure must be radically remodeled. And so we begin our journey.
