Letter for April
Hello everyone! Today is April 1st. But nothing in this post is a lie, okay?
Now that we’ve cleared that up, I’m really excited to share everything that’s been happening behind the scenes.
Honestly, I’m not even sure I still have fingers at this point. I’ve been working over 15 hours a day creating exclusive modular pieces for this new map. On top of that, I’ve also been developing various objects designed to work together and give the world a stronger sense of identity. (For context, I've already created more than 25 pieces from yesterday to today.)
It’s a lot of work, but the results make it all worth it!
My release plan for April 6th is still on track. However, I’m considering a buffer of up to five extra days if needed (meaning the final delivery could go up to April 11th).
Since Saturday, I’ve been heavily focused on creating modular pieces for the buildings, and I wanted to share a small sneak peek of what’s been done so far. At the moment, we already have 14 modular friezes and moldings, with much more still to come.
(Some ornaments (on the left) have been separated from the friezes so that we can position them freely. This allows us to have an even greater number of facades.)
Right now, we have over 25 lots practically ready (at least structurally). Some already have final finishes, while others are still being refined.
The production process for this world has been quite different from what I’m used to. It’s very hybrid, since many finishing decisions depend on completing other areas first to make sure everything works visually.
The other day, I spent hours on stream just adjusting a few textures for our red street in downtown Heaven Springs. I literally had to break my brain trying to understand how CAW distributes certain textures. But it was worth it! With my street and sidewalk building kit set up, it’ll only take a small color adjustment later for everything to be ready.
Anyway, I won’t drag this out too much since the work continues, but I wanted to share this small preview and this moment with you. I’m really curious to hear what you think of the results so far.
Of course, keep in mind that everything shown is still a work in progress and subject to change. It looks like I’ll have even more work than I initially planned, but honestly… that excites me! xD
Here's what we have so far, and for me, a little reminder: "Next time, don't try to make a medium-sized world in such a tight deadline." Anyway, I trust we'll find a way to finish this world on time, and it will be incredibly detailed!
Thank you for your attention <3
Oh! I almost forgot to mention, this month we’ll have Heaven Springs and a large modular architecture kit inspired by Colorado, meaning it’s set in Heaven Springs (I’m still deciding on the name). You’re going to love it!
Spoiler: it will be bigger than my first modular architecture kit.
