Swamp action
Hi - thought it would be cool to have a forum where we could share smaller stuff that isn't really worthy of the news section or a mainpage update. So this will be sort of the "twitter" of forums.
So to get this baby started, here is a little editor-shot of the area I'm currently working on. It is the swamp outside Devil's Crossing that was featured in some very early screenshots but which started to look for of poopy as we created other new environments and made a lot of improvements. So, now I'm back doing another pass on this to add some color in the form of purple loosestrife (yay for invasive species!), float some barrels using the new floating physics, and massively expand it. EDITOR SHOT - thats a spawn proxy, not a neon green zombie   This is actually one of the reasons I've been lagging on screenshots. Trying to polish this up so I can get a good swamp screenshot for you guys. That and I have 928362345273594 other things going on at once as always.

Very cool shot right there.
Also, FLOATING PHYSICS? Man... New opportunities arise. Wait... What gameplay-affecting things can you do with floating physics? Start thinking everyone! In all seriousness, I like seeing new features added into the engine. Seems like they are popping up like mushrooms during rainy season. So we have destructible environments, floating physics, dynamic weather in place already? The immersion will be huge. I have a feeling the difference between GD and TQ will be even bigger than I initially thought.

Purple loosestrife looks gorgeous. Is the monster so green, because you took the screen from the editor? And what is this green line? Will the monster move/float along it?

I edited my initial post to avoid confusion - that is actually a spawn proxy and green indicates that it is an easy difficulty one since it is right outside the town.
The green line in the background is a level boundary. Not a boundary for the player, but it shows where two pieces of heightmap (which we call levels) stitch together. The world of GD, as with TQ, is made up of tons of squares of heightmap stitched together.

VERY nice. I like the way that it keeps within the 'grim' atmosphere of the game, while still looking VERY natural. I'm assuming you guys are using reference pics of real swamps and such. Just one favor tho...one of the sillier things i've seen in games is clouds of midges/flies. Really now...I understand these games are inherently silly, but killing a cloud of flies with s sword, or gun?
Besides that, it looks really good. The barrels in the water are a nice touch. EDIT:Tho the barrel looks too...dry, new. Maybe green it up a little? Give it the impression that some algea has spent some time nomming on it or something. Still, looks good!
