Well, water looks a lot better now. I've also started saving dungeons again so I can apply some changes later that I'll announce when its ready. However, Carim is very close to finishing that chunk system (i.e. making 3 days of work obsolete if it actually works out).

Look at that! Even a river in the middle! Still waiting on the corners. THEN it'll look great. And besides that all I've done is start saving dungeons again so I can apply some changes later that I'll announce when its ready. However, Carim is very close to finishing that chunk system (i.e. making 3 days of work obsolete if it actually works out).
