feedback that we've been getting we've been getting a lot of positive feedback a lot of people love the look of the the new fresh look of the, the northern forest I mean the new assets etc are just a higher quality as well, the lighting and fog changes seem to be seem to be received well as well however some people have some concerns some people, are a little bummed that you know it looks a little more earth-like and less alieny right, you know the white willows for example are gone as well a lot of people are partial to those trees and so we've seen like a lot of people's comments about that, and in fact on this week's, stream we stream every tuesday twitch.tv slash coffee stadium studios devs this past stream that just went by I invited hannah the world designer to join the stream to just talk about, yeah just the just the teaser, you know the north northern forestry work in general as well as, addressing some of those concerns that people had so she talks about like the motivations and inspirations for why we're making these changes, why this that we're going in this direction also just issues like specifically about the willow itself that like issues with like, its asset quality and also its inability or that that we we struggle to find to, a way to have it work with other assets in a nice way and then as for like the alienness of the way that the area looked before she talks a little bit about how that alien look was just an accident it was mostly just a bunch of random things that we just put together as opposed to a an intentional crafted alien look that, that the biome had you know and so with with this new approach we're having a more intentional look and feel whether or not it looks more alien to you or not you know but but at least this part of the northern forest is a more cohesive look anyway I can't really explain it so well okay I'm I just make shitty youtube videos let's be real here okay I'm not a level designer I'm not an artist so I've actually highlighted that segment of the twitch stream so if you're interested in a more sort of like in-depth discussion discussion about that and to hear it straight from hannah's mouth directly, I'm gonna leave a link in the description below you can go watch that highlight from twitch I'm just paraphrasing so don't don't really don't listen to me all right I'm just giving the tl dr but but for the most part the the response has been great for the northern forestry work and that's really exciting especially since there hasn't really been a world update for a long time something that, hannah talks a little bit about, in in that twitch highlight as well so I highly recommend if you care about this stuff to check out that twitch highlight for sure hashtag save the willows by the way so there's actually another area that's
