The realistic sky type now supports stars in Wicked Engine. Stars can be configured with a simple slider that modifies the amount of stars. The stars will rotate with the sun, to have the illusion of the planet rotation. This effect is fake, achieved with gradient noise in the pixel shader.
Wicked Engine source code on Github: github.com/turanszkij/WickedEngine
I created a shadertoy for the stars too: shadertoy.com/view/NtsBzB

The old CPU particle system has been replaced with a GPU-based system. This allows for an increased scale in simulation, additional collision with scene geometry. New effects are available with the help of force fields and particle motion blur.
