RLD Pre-Alpha WIP

Published: June 21st 2018, 9:28:02 am

Above: I took a sort of "drones eye view" of the Red Light District WIP.

A quick look at some work I've been doing on RLD while I overhaul & bugfix New Cyana. Frankly, The work being done on the Island is a lot less interesting that what's happening in the RLD. New Cyana has a lot of geometry fixes and variable adjustments...sexy.

I've overhauled every building in the area, as a result RLD just went from struggling to run at 30fps to a smooth 70fps. Further texture optimization should put this to about 80 or 90fps since overall the RLD is much smaller than some of the smaller zones in New Cyana.

Building revisions allow individual windows to be lit. Keep an eye on the background buildings to see how things look moving forward.

The Clinic has been rebuilt from the ground up. The same window update applies. The Clinic will be one of the first interiors build for RLD along with the Motel on Brooklyn Ave.

A number of great suggestions were made in discord for some new building. Not all of them are going to be active immediately.

...the same can be said for the Bail Bonds office.

One small business that has been transferred over from the flash build is the Adult Video store

Flash:

Unity:

The building for the Abandoned bank from the flash build is underway, but not yet textured or Detailed. As a side note, I'm playing with the idea that walking towards the tunnel will eventually return you to the game menu as an immersive option to just pressing esc. 

 * The Skyline in the background is Temporary and is just being used for scaling/placement purposes. It has already been heavily modified from an image I sourced off of google, I'm sorry I don't have the exact source at this time. The Background city image seen below is going to be one of the last things to get replaced with an in-studio asset.
