[32bpp/EZ] RAWR Absolute World Replacement

[V453000 :)]

RAWR! [hello]

I have been working on a for-now-landscape set for the last couple of -time- ... so here is a slight taster of what is coming (very soon) [in the next week or so].

RAWR Absolute World Replacement will feature all 4 climates interchangeably. This means you will be able to select sub-tropic climate for RAWR, generate your map in sub-arctic, and get tropic grass with desert on the mountains!

Furthermore, I have something very special planned for Toyland [basically making it look sane-ish], but that is probably in a bit futher future, getting other stuff done first.

There will be no functional features, only visual replacements so it can be turned into a base set eventually when I replace everything.

From the word Absolute, for now it is just landscape, might try to add roads even in version 0.0.1, with tracks and bridges following quickly too (with railtype tracks on PURR being developed on the side).

It should fit well with obviously YETI, the original base set, I am trying to get it nice with zbase a little bit, but that is tough because zbase looks quite "different". (politically correct expression)

A lot of things is very work in progress, but picturez follow...

Doesn't look as psycho as I would expect from you... but looks good!

Okay, tryng some more stuff ... changed texture on grass ... probably not so great. However, changed water and shores are much nicer.

[Phreeze]

grass looks "hilly" like teletubby world in teaser3 ^^

[V453000 :)]

hm?

[alluke]

Those shores look bad, sorry. Remember that water is transparent and only looks blue.

[V453000 :)]

I did not say it is water

[V453000 :)]

Here is the current state of stuff...

Also, I started work on roads/tracks and am almost done with them in fact, so they will also be in the first version of this newGRF.

P.S. I decided that the thing I showed earlier will be water for all climates, I have to say I like it quite a lot.

Imagez follow

yayz ... not a final product, this is just a render, but you can see the style of it.

[andythenorth]

V this is totally epic. There aren't enough grass newgrfs around

It will be nicer though when you've painted over the renders with pixels. I like how you're mocking up your sprites with CGI though. Nice approach.

[V453000 :)]

Thank you andythenorth, your comment is very welcome. Positive comments not only keep me motivated but they make me enjoy the work a lot more.

Mmmmmmmmonorail, first version of it!

[te_lanus]

Looks really awesome

Mono-thing looking great, just a bit traditional.

Do we really need that iron bar in the middle? Slugs might like it more without it perhaps

[V453000 :)]

Slugs never travel on monorail, they travel on MAGLEV wip

IMHO you need some kind of line in the middle, otherwise you run into the original-maglev-disaster of completely invisibly junctions.

Of course it does not need to be an iron bar. It can also be a colourful slime-trail from earlier slugs

Absolutely +1 to that, I figured this when I was creating PURR. I tried to go a bit more creative, but leaving 1 track in the place is absolutely best. 2 separate tracks for normal rail are a bit glitchy but I guess it has to be done

PURR update coming shortly after this :>

[V453000 :)]

some serious progress done on roads, getting close to 0.0.1

[Alberth]

Shouldn't the cross be a junction too?

yeah that one is just not finished XD
