Building & Forward Base Development

Our environment artists and terrain development team are always looking for new innovative ways to create upgrades to your gameplay experience. Today we're going to show you the return of the fire escape for urban buildings (for rooftop access), how we're planning to open up big urban buildings to have interior access, and how forward bases are receiving some new treatments. These are among the many developments taking place. Remember, your subscriptions are the lifeblood of what we do here, be sure to subscribe for the launch of Campaign 177 (today at 5PM PST) as well as backing up developments like these.

NEW STANDING STATE FOR URBAN BUILDING 01

For years players have wondered what happened to the fire escapes, and we're pleased to let you know that we're adding them back in, starting with this building!

Also, we're adding an all-new interior for the standing (non-damaged) state, so infantryman can run through them. This is consistent with our firm belief that we should offer as many opportunities for players to maneuver and take advantage of the open game world that is WWII Online.

Shout out to "Mkw" for her excellent work here upgrading this building and adding features requested by many.






FORWARD BASE UPGRADES

Giving new life to our existing play spaces is something that TR6AL is very much focused on as our Terrain Development Guru. Whether it is adding new towns, changing up existing layouts, AL's ability to find nimble but important upgrades is critical to a lot of terrain development.



As seen in this picture, here are a few differences being explored:
  • Exploration of roads coming to FB's
  • Better defensive positions
  • Observation Post (Tower) for infantry

We'd also like to say he is on the ball when it comes to players reporting bugs on terrain. Be sure to use your .bug tool in-game when you see something out of place, and TR6AL will be there to save the day.
