This is a REALLY ambitious project that i'm wanting to take- a Fallout-esque massive open-world exploration/RP map.
I am thinking of moving this to GD to gather more attention/people wanting to help/more appropriate so be on the lookout within the next month for this to be in GD.
the build is obviously in it's really early stages, and I'm due to get burnt out/frustraded with building, so we can see where it heads. the map is pretty big (768x768 i think) but it's actually proving to be a little small for what it is, given that it's supposed to be a post-apoc world with sparse amounts of survivors.
5/8- I've been working on something that will be landmark for the map: a large interstate highway overpass. the roads are done and the supports are mapped out and ready to be planted with roads. I'm thinking of adding an "
arefu" style town, a major exit for access, stalled cars, and other ruined/decrepit aspects.
5/13- i've slowed down on infrastructure, which was surprisingly the easy part when it comes to buildings. i've finished the large part of the overpass, and a ruined home and church. i've also made progress on some houses that will be used for a kind of main city. but i've also run into a problem with more of a purpose standpoint than design- it feels too small. i've gotten really aquainted and comfortable with the terrain that i've built, but theres several issues with it- it's too small, and building on it is way too hard. so, I think that I'm going to swap out for the really terrained desert with more of a flatlands with really terrained landmarks (buttes, mountains, canyons, etc) to keep it intersting. i could make the generated terrain larger, but the brickcount gets so high that even my machine which is pretty beefy cant run it even without shaders. with that, i'm going to see where building on a larger-scale flatter and less detailed terrain will land us, and I think that will better help achieving the feel of wandering about for hours without a soul in sight.
i want people to tell me their thoughts on this, so feel free to pm/post or even come on down to my server and tell me what you think the terrain should be.suggestions/requests/ratings/anyone who wants to help, please just say so
