Chilly DevLogs from Alaska ! #48- Live in Alaskan Woods

Hey there, nature lovers and forest explorers! Today, we're diving into the lush forests of Alaska in Alaska Gold Fever. Let's chat about how we bring these magical places to life in cool 3D graphics, especially focusing on making bushes and painting all the pretty colors that make our forests pop!





Remember this old movie Into The Woods? I hope your journey to the Alaskan wilderness wont end ip like protagonist of this movie :( Nevertheless a player must be aware of souroding dangers and the woods are full of them! But you must go throu forests to travel to another places in Alska (like gold mines in mountains) so INTO THE WOODS!





I already showed trees and some foliage in previous devlogs but now i wanna show you all dear PLayers some more groind work ;) Simple bushes and grass - yes very interesting ;) I want t oshow you how to make it MORE ALASKAN.



Using simple tools in Unity engine we can change the color of prefabs but how to make them LOOK like they are in COLD climate??



Using specialized tools and a specialized bitmaps we can change textures to look lie more lets call it |SNOWY". Better then all green or all white, eh?



You can even set colors like brown and yellow (yellowish..?) to make a mid-climate bushes.
Our levels will contain 3 main weathers :
-simple "normal" climate (mostly green, green with white)
-a "transition" mid climate (brown, yellow, just some green)
-cold one-hard to survive!!! (green-white and white foliage)



One forest and soo many design choices!
Alas, you can also use this tool for making other things "covered in snow" !!!
Just look at this old plank:


And there you have it– a peek into how we make the forests in Alaska Gold Fever look awesome.
More info in next devlog, stay tuned :D
