The map is still on work-in-progress stage, but we keep improving it.Īt this point, we’ve completed the topographical relief of land. Next big thing to do is the topographical relief, and we’ve mastered the 16 levels of height, and managed to fit them perfectly into our formulae to accurately reflect the highest peaks and the lowest depths. Gameplay-wise, these vast territories of the poles can be explained by harshness of the terrain. So, our biggest problem was to find balance between land and water. Then we faced our biggest challenge: the closer we were to the poles, the harder it was to scale properly.
