GM's best graphics... ever.

Blog Disclaimer: Comments with foul language will be towed.

What follows is an image, taken from a premade map in Dawn of Civilization, that I call "Rhodes."

The image includes:

* Lens flare

* Reflective water

* Detailmapped terrain

* ~6800+ Hellenic buildings

* 200 modeled trees

* 700 bushes

* ~200 water reeds

* ~5 War Galleys

* 1 Colossal Stone Statue

I am leaving for Point Loma's Science Honor weekend today; thus, I will not be able to respond to any questions/comments/whatever.

I am working on a pseudo-sequel to A Particular Thing, which I hope to sell. (!)

It includes (beyond the original)

* 3x the enemies, up to 300k points.

* 2 new weapon effects

* New "combo-bonus" mechanic - you kill ten of certain enemies and get a stat bonus

* Three multiplayer modes - coop, versus, and Bossmaster.

* (Online?) highscore system

* A menu and attract mode

* Improved graphics in certain areas.

The prerendered mountains are cute.

Can't really make out the reflective water from here, but the trees seem nice from that distance.

Buildings aren't particularly amazing, but not bad, either.

The lensflare is cool, albeit a bit '90s. The texture on the on the statue seems rather badly done, however.

Anyway, loooks pretty nice. Curious as to how well the game RUNS. =P

So how much lag would this cause?Nice graphics either way.

Isn't it only 1blog a day?

Hmm…

…with this ridiculous (as in, you will never see this many buildings in one place) building count… ~5 frames per second.

With normal building counts, 40 fps (high detail) up to 70 fps (low detail)

->Serprex: I did make one blog a day. This blog is February 23; last one was February 22.

NICE!!! That huge thing in the background reminds me of the game "Shadow of the Colossus" ^_^

My bad,so few blogs done today and I still thought it was the 22nd…

Sweet. Nicely done. I can't say anything that hasn't already been said, since JakeX pretty much summed it up. How did you do mountains? Is it a background or a terrain model?

Wait…6800 buldings?!

The mountains are a skybox (with mirrored skybox for reflections). However, the terrain also has mountains.

Nice mountains and sky. Other than that…

Is that really GM?

If it is, I just wonder how fast it really is.
