Yeah, it IS a bit of a pain with the map being 4096x, but a lot of the map is covered in ocean anyway since the island is completely surrounded on all sides by it. I'd say the playable area is something like 70% at most. There's plenty of area that is filled with mountains and inaccessible terrain, fortunately, though there are a couple of medium-sized areas I'm unsure what to do with. The good thing is that the Park itself covers a lot of the island, and the main facilities are mostly in the area that isn't encompassed by the Park, so everything is already sort of bustling to begin with. Everything in-between is open to interpretation, which is where I'm mostly using original ideas. Plus there is of course the underground tunnel network that will act as the fast travel system if you need to get places quickly, so you should only have to make the really long treks once before unlocking that exit from the tunnels.It hasn't been easy with the Pens, either, even though it's not *that* big.

*sigh* Well. Back to the old drawing board I guess...maybe starting from scratch on an 8192x8192-sized level will produce better results.Draconisaurus wrote:Ew, yuck! Gross! This level looks like an old lady's cat vomited on the cake from the TresCom anniversary level I never finished.
Thanks! Yeah, it's kind of buried beneath two layers of forum.Whoa -- I've somehow missed the updates to this thread! New screens are looking very good!
Mmmm. Better go for 320x224 max screen res and 4-poly trees and 6-poly raptors.TheIdiot wrote:*sigh* Well.

Hmm. I don't know about that, 320x224 might be too much...as for the lemon juice, hell, I can't recommend it enough.Mmmm. Better go for 320x224 max screen res and 4-poly trees and 6-poly raptors.
Also, ASA script the entire game.
Revert to 1-bit BMPs.
Recommend players squeeze lemon juice onto their mousepads.
Geez, you're starting to sound a lot like that author Lemon-y Snickett...Lemons?? I don't want your damn lemons, what the hell am I supposed to do with these? Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons!
