Advanced level-design can make it more GTA-like


I’ve tested how does it look, and how it impacts on the performance of the program, some advanced level-design: it runs still well, and the overall look of the game becomes much more similar to something like GTA 3 but with a top-down view.

A video illustrating this, is here:

In short, I conceluded that some improvements on broadening the freedom to define the shape of segments of roads, will improve on the GTA-ish look, certainly ; but also that the importance of implementing even a very very basic terrain in the program, is crucial to entitle it a full-blown GTA clone, not just an advanced 3D urban environment-renderer. Where even a random-generated and then automatically post-processed terrain can do 100% fine, as the focus of the program is not so much the terrain, even if at some point it’s contribution is needed.

I’ll try to come up with the next version offering an extensive but still yet modest preview of these planned enhancements.

I have added rewards for quests so that villagers can give you something in return for your hard work helping them. 🥳

I want to know - what's your favourite quest reward?

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)
