I started rework a map I always liked a lot.
There was already a grim atmosphere here, and I plan to go a lot deeper in the ominous and malefic vibe.
The visual overhaul should take a week or two, then the spawn and logic phase should take at least one month.
In other news, I finished the first pass on spawn and logic for Hell and Cursed Village. I also added some of the dialogs and important NPC.
I have to say it looks pretty good and the maps are much more interesting to play than I thought. For the first time I felt the potential of the mod and it's very motivating.
Enjoy some early screenshots from... well you already guessed.
It is all slowly but surely coming together. Nice work.
Wow, Yantar looking great. Very consistent with what's been shown so far.
The map looks... 😍😍
Can't wait!
Oh wow... this is looking stunning.
Interesting concept ... so, basically, the removal of all factions except few Loners is to give a sense of much bigger desolation. I assume there will also be much bigger scarcity of everything because of that. And you nailed the atmosphere, too ... gloomy, dark, "silenthill-ishly". It could go with even more fog somewhere.
I think this could even be a mod where a hobo phase is even permanent or very large part of the game, lol ...
Since it takes place 20 years after the STALKER games will we see more high tech gear and weapons?
Still waiting for that one, but don't rush it. Just make it great.
