Good day internet citizens.
I have been working on some enhancements to this project the past few weeks. As it is supposed to be sound design project, I haven't made any efforts to add MASSIVE HORDES OF SLATHERING ZOMBIES or anything nearly as awesome as that. No. I've added the gentle, looping, creaking of wood on a windmill, and the hourly chiming of church bells...
Anyway, here's the current change log:
VERSION P1.10
CHANGE LOG:
GENERAL
- Reorganised audio files.
- Removed ~250 unnecessary .RCDONE and .DAE files.
- Updated the Workflow Diagrams, and added the Minster Phase Two diagram.
AUDIO
- Music: Replaced sampled guitar in The Rolling Ocean of Green with real, recorded guitar.
- Sound: Added sound effects to the New Mill.
- Sound: Added Minster bell chimes on every hour.
- Sound: Removed unrealistic 'sloshing' sounds near the river.
CODE
- Randomised rotational velocity of the New Mill.
- Removed vignetting in the upper corners of the screen.
- Added scripted camera sequence upon loading.
VISUAL
- Textures: Fixed missing normal map on the New Mill.
- Models: Added a watermill, with associated audio and particle effects.
- Models: Added two LOD versions of each of the twenty parts that make the Minster, to improve performance - reducing polygons from 148k at LOD0 through 121k at LOD1, to 64k at LOD2.
- Models: Added an LOD version of each of the two parts that make the New Mill, to improve performance - reducing polygon from 11.5k at LOD0 to 9k at LOD1.
- Models: Added new details to the Minster, and made refinements to improve performance.
- Entities: Added bird particle effects.
- Entities: Increased cloud movement speed.
Below are the updated Workflow Diagrams, including the Minster Phase Two one that (vaguely) explains the process of texture-mapping.
