Trees and roots

[Soukyuu]

That's such a small thing.. Who's looking at the ground besides you? lol

You do realize that good design is majorly made up from such small things, aka "attention to detail"? The reason our current maps were so bland and repetitive despite the game having great graphics, was precisely because of such little things missing.

While tree roots don't make or break a game, it would be nice to have to add to the overall atmosphere of the game. Same goes for fire/butterflies or birds flying around, or NPCs strolling through the streets. Or grass (whoops, I said it :P) growing on the fields.

People have been shouting lately, that graphics are not important, they want to concentrate on The Game. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure the majority of those people were also the ones annoyed by copy-pasted, bland maps.
