I think exploring tiles might be starting to grow lame.I think exploring tiles might be starting to grow lame.

Apr 05th - 09:23 | It seems pretty repetitive. With a new system I put in to allow vertical objects, I think I will also put in a random blank spot to appear every now and then to remove all non-special (basically the four basic objects you see everywhere) tiles so they space out a bit more.

I don't really know what difference it would serve to change something people won't notice that much, I guess. I doubt you're going to sit down and draw up a detailed map of Aerra (tree here, waterfall here, hill here, maybe little forest glade over there kind of deal), so I don't know if it's worth it to change anything with the way the tiles are.
Maybe I misunderstood, I dunno. Re-reading the post, what's the difference between horizontal/vertical objects? Horizontal being like the logs in the swamp I assume, vertical objects being long logs instead of wide logs...?

But when that call never comes, it's time to face what you've become - there's no point doing all of this, unless you know you're having fun. |

04/06/2009 09:56 | Yeah, that's the difference. Honestly I don't even know why I posted this, 'cuz it's just a good idea to do in general. Basically small blank spots erase random objects in the world so that it doesn't seem like an algorithm. Interestingly enough, there's already a half-way that I do that already, but there are some flaws here and there.
