Okay, so the next thing we want to talk about is I mentioned before at the beginning of the video, is that there's going to be this world perimeter change.
Now, what does that mean about the world perimeter?
Because it's getting a major change.
So the world perimeter is sort of what it sounds like.
It's the edges of the world, right?
But it's the playable area of the game has not changed.
The world perimeter that we're talking about here is the non-playable areas beyond the play area.
Yeah, it's basically just the look and feel of, you know, when you're standing and looking out outside the playable area, what that look and feel sort of looks like, like the vistas and things like that.
So previously, you know, or currently as you guys are playing, most of the world's perimeter is just fog or ocean.
Right?
And not really much is going out there.
But now we're gonna have these gorgeous, expansive vistas.
And one of the things that I really, really love about this world perimeter change is when you're looking out in the vista and you see the biome changes between the world perimeter, like where you can't even go and you see those transitions.
I really, really love those.
Another thing I love is when you're in the grass fields or something and you look out over towards the dune desert and you see massive dune desert
Mountains and things like that looming over the horizon I don't know if it's still gonna be like that by the time this video comes out But that's what it was like when I saw it and it was looked really really cool And so in update 8 the world perimeter will not be done Okay, but the intention is to rework it all by by 1.0 Okay so some of the areas are done and the areas that will be done is gonna be the dune desert and
Which has like these really like nice mountains and this big like cool sinkhole looking thing The swamp is gonna get some world perimeter and also the grass fields Which you know has some like more like really expensive grass fields and like lush mountains in the back So those are the three areas that are gonna get these world perimeter treatment and everything else will get a world perimeter treatment That's the plan by 1.0
Yeah, so these areas were just the areas that we felt were in the most need for some kind of love, and so I think that makes sense.
And the other thing is, like, so far, the playable area that you've been on has always felt like an island on an alien planet, right?
Because it was always surrounded by water.
But our intention with the world perimeter is to better suggest that you're just on one part of an entire planet, like that this planet goes on beyond what you can see and influence.
Um...
And I think it looks really great, and I love that idea as well.
And I think it goes a long way to changing what it feels like to be on the alien planet Massage 2ABB.
Yeah, I love it.
Now, you might be thinking of these world perimeter things.
Man, that must take a long time to make all these really gorgeous assets.
But actually, we use this tool called Gaia, which generates really large elements or pieces that we use to construct this stuff.
So shout out to that for making it
really doable for us to make these really gorgeous uh world perimeter vistas and things like that and also we're gonna we're probably gonna be tweaking the fog so that you can actually see the vistas a little better in the future so um that's another change that will probably be coming
