Thanks for the suggestion capbros! I agree there should be some small shadowing bellow the players feet. In my game engine I do have dynamic shadowing depending on the environment and time of day etc but I could never get it to look right. Because the player itself is a light source the positioning of the shadows was always wrong. Maybe I will try your suggestion of a static circle that increases in alpha when the lighting changes. Thanks!
Thank-you all very much for the kind words. It really nice to see you guys are excited for the release. Not too long now! I left my current full time job for a new role and had a whole week to myself, which means I got to spend alot of time on the project!
I finnaly got round to writing the generation script for the two new zone types that I had planned, the 'firelands' and 'snowlands'. These are two very different climates and the end goal is that they will require different equipment to effectively be able to explore them. Here are some images of the generated areas.
The snowlands (preview) -
The Firelands -
There are a few logical issues that I need to fix with the two generation scripts, for example tree's spawning where they shouldnt but I am pretty happy overall with the results.
These areas are directly connected to the previous areas that I have been showing off and all joni together to form the 'world' that you explore.
Besides these two zones I have been working on polishing up the game, fixing as many bugs as I can find and lots of balancing of item spawn rates, health modifications etc etc -
Sorry about all the dead image links, I changed my server around a little bit and forgot to update them. They should all be back now however. Ive been working hard and have a few more images to add!
Ah thankyou very much. I was going for simplistic! Took alot more work than I orignally thought as the original them was not wordpress so I had to convert it over. A great learning experience though :)
This is really great! Thanks for sharing :)
These packs are great, you are really kicking ass! Thanks
