Platform Masters development (December 24, 2014) - worlds 1, 2 and 4 enhanced

  • 9 years ago
Keveran Desert, Jeremy's House, and all but one thing in Ronnis are now fully finished, bugs and oversights aside. In Keveran Desert only one enhancement was made. Trees have been added along the Keveran River. This really brings out the vibrancy, but the trees are restricted to being very near the river as that's pretty much their only water source.

Jeremy's House has 2 enhancements made. First, the stop signs now have street and avenue signs on top of them, something I was going to do before but forgot to. The sign says "237 Av N" so it's really out of the way from city center (and this actually isn't even Ronnis, it's West Ronnisa, hence the school bus). The other is the inclusion of a speed limit sign. The number is in CU/fr. Multiply that number by 6 to get mph then multiply the mph version by 1.609344 to convert to km/h. That's 24 mph and 38.62 km/h respetively for the real world values.

Ronnis has 3 enhancements made. The first 2 involve 2 of the 3 signs. The third one I can't do for a while yet. The first sign involves an advertisement for the supersonic air taxis of the Keveran Air Taxis company. You can see that company name on the close air taxi in world 7. The second sign is a billboard for the ever-so-common Platform Masters championship. It's the most detailed advertisement sign for this. The third enhancement is the inclusion of the walkways that I was thinking about earlier. Back when I thought of it, I didn't have the optimized ground decal drawing system and I still had the zone-based system. When I finally got to doing it, I easily made use of some significant optimizations and they were so much easier to add in then back when I had the zone-based system.

Ignoring that thing I can't do, that now means worlds 1 through 4 are done in full (worlds 6, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, and 18 are done in full as well, 12 in total - trees dominate most of the other ones), bugs and oversights aside. I still have a lot of work left for worlds 11, 14, 19, and 20.
