Dev-Update: cave environment & lighting systems
We're excited to share progress on one of Valmora's key environment types - the cave systems that will play an important role in exploration and encounters throughout the dark fantasy world.
Cave Development
Environment Structure
Basic cave architecture and tunnel formations
Foundation work for underground exploration areas
Early development of cave systems without final textures or details
Day/Night Lighting Testing The attached video showcases the same cave environment during different lighting conditions - demonstrating how our lighting systems work in underground spaces. You'll see how the cave atmosphere changes between day and night cycles, even in these underground areas.
This lighting development is crucial for creating the proper dark fantasy mood that Valmora's underground exploration will require.
Behind the Development
Cave environments represent some of our most challenging lighting and atmosphere work. These underground spaces need to feel mysterious and immersive while still being navigable for players.
While we're sharing this cave environment development with everyone today, our Founders are getting exclusive access to a very different type of environment preview. They're seeing how our building and settlement systems are coming together, with architectural development that will house the characters and communities you'll encounter above ground.
