Some Screenshots and a bunch more progress

For the first time in probably about a month I have updated HugieGames.com's Moonshadow pages to reflect the changes that have been to the campaign; the homepage features a new module description, the screenshot gallery has been completely wiped clean (since none of the areas pictured there are still in the game--they've all been completely remade from scratch!), and four new screenshots from one of the newer areas have been added. I'll post them here as well; they're taken from one of the many High Forest areas in the game, and they involve a battle with some orcs:









You may or may not remember what older screenshots looked like from various forest areas, but here's a summary of my newer strategy; many more overlapping textures, more judicious uses of grass and large trees, more undergrowth (shrubs & plants), more "mapped out" areas on which you have a real path to follow rather than being able to cut through any which way, and overall, much smaller areas as well, which has reduces the campaign size by almost half! Basically, better in every way imagineable...particularly since, in my opinion at least, they look SO much better than the older ones!

I'll have more screenshots later on today and tomorrow from other new forest areas as I clean them up and get to them in-game.

I'm happy to see you are still working on this project. I had thought you might have moved on. The new screenshots look much more polished, I think your skill in building must have improved, (was good before) :)

Keep up the good work.
I'll keep watching your progress.

Thanks SirChet! :) Nope, I haven't moved on...just been busy with travel, the college process (done now), and various work for Ossian Studios. But I've been plugging away at this all the while!
