It’s been a slow few days, but we’ve got lakes spawning in naturally now :)

I have also spent some time writing a new tile overlay system which allows you to arbitrarily overlay one type of tile on top of another. This is being used to improve the visual fidelity of towns and other such areas, or generated structures.

What I have so far isn’t really anything to call home about, but its a nice proof of concept for a system that will hopefully be quite versitile! The general idea is that it’ll allow town regions to be paved, independent of the underlying type of block.
The system can also be used just to improve + add variation to existing locales. Though we need to upgrade my place holder tile art :)

Finally, I took a shot at designing some building styles for different ages:

… Lets just say we wont be using the Church model :S!
