Get in, we're going to the Arctic
Hello faithful wishlisters, friends, gamers!
After getting our Texas Desert map to where I liked it, I started to work with Eron, our 3D artist, on exploring some other biomes. We put together some ideas and references and decided on an environment for the next level: The Arctic !
We collected a ton of references of environments, vehicles and characters we could use. The movie Inception has some great snow scenes to reference, including some interesting vehicles and such. There were also a couple scenes from the various Bond movies in the arctic.
Building the home base seemed to be the best way to get our bearings here. This is where you'll select missions, upgrades, etc.
Next up was building the semi-procedural terrain. We decided that an arctic ocean coastline would be the major feature of this map, and that the rest should be relatively flat snow covered terrain.
It really helps to fly around the terrain, it gives you a sense of how the terrain will be visible during gameplay.
After sorting the terrain, Eron got started on cranking out vehicles. We wanted to have some distinct units on this map, the enemies here will be more powerful than the ones encountered on the West Texas level.
Just a few of the planned vehicles
We're also planning to have aquatic vehicles in this... boats, ships, and subs!
These are all works in progress, I'm looking forward to sharing more once we start building missions in the artic!
As always, thank you again for your support. Making a game is challenging, but your comments and emails motivate us.
Make sure you're subscribed to the email list if you're not already: https://clearedhotgame.com/email-list/ This is where I will send out the beta build when it's ready.
Thanks and see you again next time!
