Title: Forests.
Post by: zanzibar on May 08, 2005, 09:35:39 am

Right now, the paths from the Rogue bridge to Oja, as well as the path from the main city to both oja road and the magic house, consist of paths surrounded on either side by an impermiable forest.  It would be nice if instead of being impermiable, there were simply tall trees thickly growing together.  It would make it three dimensional, and perhaps open up those areas to further exploration and map generation.  I don\'t want to say sunbeams because there is no sun, but streams of light coming through the branches from the crystal would be cool as well.

You know, I think that is a very good idea, because then they could make new forest monsters too, and a wider range of exploration.

yeah, thats a really cool idea, the thing with the lightbeams seems really nice to me. and its easy to attach new maps to that if needed, cause you can just remove the outer wall and put the map behind it.

Real forest...hm..Imagine how much resources (computer) it would take to make a real forest...I have not actually seen any game that had something remotely close to this. All the games that I seen that tried to create such forest failed miserably....they only put some misirable trees here and there...Maybe in few years time...:P
