Last week we posted about placing water in the High Frontier internal colony prototype. Since then, we’ve improved that feature quite a bit, as you can see here. We’ve developed a custom shader that draws much nicer grass, without the usual tiling artifacts that made it look so artificial before. And, we now switch to
We’ve been hard at work on the internal colony management prototype for High Frontier. The video below does a quick recap of building (as of version 0.09), and then we switch to the internal view, and show off a couple of new features. [youtube=http://youtu.be/w1MGnQG8Bbo]
We’ve begun early prototyping work for the internal colony management. You can see one of our early graphics tests here. But this week, we’re thinking mainly about the city simulation itself. The growth of a city is primarily a function of demand for housing, jobs, and services; and transportation of people and goods. Transportation will
We’ve started prototyping the internal colony management mode for the High Frontier video game. This is where you’ll actually go inside the colony you’ve designed, and help the residents lay out roads, parks, public works, etc. (Building houses and commercial buildings will be up to them.)
