Hi hi! We meet again after a week! If you’re new around this place then feel welcome!
Noticed the new thumbnail for today’s devlog? Indeed, it is getting to that time of the year again, so we thought in putting up some Christmas decorations around our IndieDB!
As we go near Christmas, we start seeing Christmas lights and decorations all over the place and we might take some days off near this special date.
Building up the environment for level 5
We’ve been focusing mostly in this level. So, this week we did a few concepts for additional assets and arranged the environment that the helicopter would be inserted and the player would fly around.
Concepts of a few assets for the fifth level
After composing the modelling of the plains, a few textures were made and with the base mostly done, we passed to the process of changing it visually, through post-processing.
There was a lot of playing with the post-processing, arranging the colour palette, trying to make a less vivid environment and adding additional effects that will make certain things around the level less visible, like smoke, that can make the task more difficult to the player.

I don't think the low poly style matches ur game. I'd see the level a bit different, hard to explain but I'm thinking something like Warcraft 3. They get lots of detail without much work (instead of balls for trees :D) Don't get lazy, just a bit of a push will bring you to the top! Also the colors I see r too faded, maybe it's the fog but should be much more lively
Thank you for the feedback Perok!
