Sneak peek Rural Lane - OldSunset
Added 2022-05-16 13:11:35 +0000 UTCGood Morning friends!! I'm passing by to share a little bit of how OldSunset is turning out with you!
I remember that when I started working in this region, I was almost certain that there was nothing to improve. I was attached to its simplicity. Fortunately I was wrong. Working on the Pleasantview project showed me that stepping out of the comfort zone and exploring creativity can be a good solution to increase the details of worlds we are creating. And it was the best decision.

However I needed some references. And I used the game Lake and The Life is strange 3 to capture the mood needed for this region. She needed to get good at both the map view and the street view. In the end, I managed to achieve the result I was looking for.

Creating these areas made me wonder how many activities would be possible in the rural region from this moment on. And what luck! I got another feedback asking to please make these areas usable (since my idea was to do it just for decoration, as the rocks take up a giant routing space)
And then I made the necessary adjustments, replacing giant rocks that were practically only with the tip out, for smaller rocks, to save space and open up routing.

I'm proud of the result. This was more complicated to deal with than map modeling. Knowing where to place each rock to obtain the most pleasant visual effect is a relatively difficult mission, but with time and patience we managed to achieve an above average result.

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek. There's still more to come until the 28th of May which is when the next version of OldSunset will be available.
