    personally i like the specularity change in the vertical stripes on the rusted metal - that kind of detail is nice

    in terms of performence: might it be better to use decals and rubble meshes over terrain tesselation?

    thanks guys .

    Yeah, that tessellation is pretty heavy on the performance. Tbh I just turn it on for screenshots, because I dont want to work under such a framerate in the editor , but yeah, a combo of a flat texture and some rubble models should do the trick.

    Looks fun, I'm sure it will get loads of playtime for about 2 weeks after the patch is launched and then pvk2 is almost dead again for the next year (until the next patch)

    That looks pretty cool, kinda reminds me of mini ninjas (that game has beautiful environments, did mazy work on it?)

    Anyways, I think your level looks a bit too dark. It's just not very comfortable to look at because of that, even though the art itself is good. There are ways to convey night time/cloudy day without actually making the level dark, so definitely experiment more with colors

    tnx for the feedback reworked the lighting somewhat made it a lot brighter (maybe too bright?) but i think it reads a lot better now

    Great stuff, I think painting some green grass texture under the grass would help separate the vegetation and soil. It should also help define some paths.

    Not sure how far fantasy your going, but maybe try some glowing natural stuff, or glow bugs Not sure what tech your using, but something that really helped WoW's visuals was strong specular on the terrain, it still looks cartoony/stylised but really hels give direction.

    Could also add a moon!

    it already has a grass texture underneath, though at the edges i try to use some more soil because it looks kinda weird to have not much grass sprites on a grass texture (if that makes any sense)

    some glowy stuff would be really cool indeed been thinking about adding fireflies or something similar around the lanterns but have not had the time to look into that yet.

    we are using unity pro with the standard terrain shaders atm so i can not add spec or bump maps to them. anyway thanks for the feedback:)

    I think you've gone a bit far with the brightness. I think rather than mess with the overall levels, try to make a bit more use of contrast — have areas that are really well lit by lamps, etc to balance out areas that are much darker. This'll also help guide the eye and player to things that're important. You have lamps right now but their range and strength is almost negligible.
