Black shroud tweak suggestion

[Carzilla]

I think black shroud would look better if: it was redone of course lol, if it had moon light shinning thru the tree canopy and it showed on the forest floor. and had a small noticeable breeze were it would make the trees and bushes sway a little to go with the cool new music. what do you think

Also some of the trees should look like Giant Red Woods

I think it's sad that it's one year and

-they haven't added new land masses
-they haven't fixed the reusing of textures
-this game just depresses me

[MarkH]

I wish we can walk on trees, moving from tree to tree by their oversized branches..

[Silvyaniss]

I just created a whole forest with Cryengine 3 SDK and it took me about 4 hours and it looks way better than the black shroud...

How long have we been complaining about the blandness of Gridania/Black Shroud and it's been one year??
I just don't understand how they could neglect an area so bad..Gridania is like DEAD and I hardly see anyone
in Black Shroud....

YOu know Square Enix isn't stupid if we were paying we would demand more from them but since they are still
offering this >>>>>>> don't even want to say it, for free they can do whatever they want.

Square ENix wouldn't care to take another year to fix this game and not charge us we are pretty much there beta testers right now, that's sad.

the zones redesign has already been confirmed and is already in motion.

edit:

改良マップのひな型もできてるらしいぞ
神ゲーはじまったな
Draft for the remodeled map is made
God game gonna start (Kami-ge Godly/Good/Awesome game)
一マップに2つ3つのランドマークを置くらしいぜ
One map will have 2-3 land marks

──マップを大規模改修中とのことですが、具体的にはどのような変更が行われるのでしょうか？
You said the map is having major remodeling changes, basically what kind of changes will be made?
吉田　すでに仕様は決まり、サンプルもできあがっているので、
後はレベルデザインを煮詰め、その後物量をこなすという状態です。
コンセプトとしては一度足を踏み入れると忘れられない印象が残るように、
それぞれのエリアやゾーンにテーマを3つくらい入れていこうかと。目安ですが。
YoshiP: Specifications are already decided and sample is already made. Next need to get into level design and (...dunno how to translate this part basically making adjustments to them.)
From concept, it's type of area once you step in you wont forget. In each area/zone want to put around 3 themes

岩尾　ランドマークとして機能するようになります。
Iwao: It will act as a landmark
