"Creative Mode" alpha gameplay video part 3 - Castles Jul 02/21
Creative Mode
"Creative Mode" is the unrestricted building mode where everything is unlocked and you can place pieces instantly without cost or other requirements.
This new video demonstrates 150 new building pieces introducing the first Castle pieces:
- Walls, pillars, supports, stairs, floors, windows
- Towers, hoardings, rooftops
- Gates, drawbridges, portcullis
- Battlements and corbels
So far there are over 500 building pieces in the game. Hundreds more to come.
Blueprints
Blueprints are multiple building pieces saved as a single building piece. Like creating an entire house, then saving that house as a single unit to place over and over.
In this video several blueprints were used:
- Gatehouse - The main entry, a fully enclosed structure with a double gate and battlements on top
- Wall Section - a simple multi-level section of wall with battlements on top, makes for easy creation of long walls and different angles
- Castle Wall Tower - the primary wall tower used at all wall angle changes, multiple floors, open top carrying a mangonel and archers
- Keep Tower - based on the Wall Tower, modified to have a closed top with hoardings
- Six different simple house types based on the existing "Village" building pieces
Teraforming
Teraforming is the ability to change the terrain height and textures. Certain textures will clear vegetation.
In this video you'll see:
- Painting dirt textures to clear trees and vegetation for building
- Painting path textures to walk/ride on
- Raise, lower and smooth terrain height to shore up foundations around buildings
- Lower terrain height to dig a moat under the primary keep drawbridge
