The Rising Dawn Project Level Design Progress Update 4
Since the last update in December I've been really busy in getting the Detail and lighting done. I've finally done a pass on the World Lighting, which was a big issue for me, since I always ended up going back and changing it, at this point I think I've gone through 6 different version of world lighting.
Furthemore, I want to share with you the look and how the level feels in its current state. its still far from finishing and there is still a lot to be done, but slowly I am getting the progress done.
This time Around I've improved, changed, fixed and added a lot of things. with this update I'm really happy how the world is turning out and how it feels.
