For the midterm, it was all about getting the space entirely playable. Ultimately, one of the largest hurdles was getting it to look nice. I ran into some UV issues (such as being very inefficient)– something I’ll have to look into and fix in the near-future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent a good chunk working on lighting. Working with both emissive textures and Unity light maps was something quite annoying; not difficult. Waiting for Unity to bake lights and whatnot is something I didn’t like, especially for something as iterative as lighting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of issues was working with Unity’s HDRP, which made the exporting of light maps super difficult. The file sizes are massive, despite the textures looking not as high resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can even stand on the ceiling!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m trying to get the feeling of Sovietpunk as well as possible. So there exists a lot of cyberpunk-esc Russian scattered around! I even got a friend from Russia to do voicelines for a eerie PA system! I’ll figure out how to do that when I implement sounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the Atlas, like I mentioned before, this map is modular by definition, but is modular for the sense that it can be iterative. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
