I started to work with CryEngine Sandbox twelve years ago. (damn, already 13 years?) I also work with Game Maker and I'm learning with Unreal Engine 4.
Since RS have some performance issues in more dense environment, I decided to make a better system of loading world map in order to keep FPS above 60.
With the newer map system, I need a piece of map compatibile with that. While building this new town, I find myself thinking about it much more than while playing Sim City.
Unlike Sim City, now I'm really thinking about parking places, parks and for example location of hotel.
the map looks good! parks and city environment is important for exploring :)
btw:
you start again from scratch ?
No, just trying a little different way of loading map.
Originally there were small map blocks with translations among them. Now I'm trying to make bigger map blocks like this one and making load only part of the block's objects.
