Finally, we have a little color to go on the cover. Things really start to become clear now, at least on the ground world. We see the the Groundbreather castle built into the side of the mountain, and now it begins to look like a castle, and the lighter color of the rock of the castle makes it stand out from the mountain behind it. Furthermore, we see the two long avenues with streams running beside it all the way down from the castle to the gates of the town.
Another thing to notice is that the beginnings of the texture, both of the mountains, and on the plateau on which it sits has made it’s appearance. There is still quite a bit of work to do there, but the textures give us more of a 3-d sense than we had before.
The font has also been chosen and is now in place. Those who have seen the Lord of the Rings movies might recognize it–it’s a font that is often used in movies.
The only thing that remains completely undefined is the cloud city, as at present it is nothing more than a white blob. Eventually we’ll see a palace sitting in the clouds, complete with a town to one side. Only a few more posts to go until we reach the final cover!
