Artwork

Wiggles

The characters starts to have indirect influence on the terrain, such as water wiggles or dust when running over dry areas

Shadow

A World Within The World

We rendered a nice terrain with terragen to place our playfield in some greater context. The whole scenery is now at the top of a mountain (one of many) and as such, you will fall into the mist, when crossing the border. We also decided, that we are going to have a static sky and sun, since the rendering suggests a specific atmosphere. Also, within a 5 minutes round, a moving sun is a killover! We will include different daytimes though for a whole round, since I love the nighttime

Ever wanted one of these water-flows-over-the-edge-hot-tubs? There ya go...

Level of Detail

Due to LOD, we can now render huge terrains. Note the character in this screenshot..

Underwater rendering

Simply drawing the character twice leads to cracks...
... or overlaps to some extent

Sorting

Fire Implemented

"I am the god of hellfire, and I bring you..."

254 billboard sprites, translated and scaled according to the energy present in the terrain. When they are transparent, it looks like a great fire.
