Author Topic: So, what kind of "aesthetic" upgrades now? (Read 1318 times)

Any hints on what 'aesthetic' upgrades we can expect in time, HT??

Beaches?? Better looking explosions or fires?? Ambient fauna?

Particle effects for hit sprites??

Can we get a sneak-peek preview if anything's scheduled to be implemented soon??

Bird strikes! "You have been killed from Birdstike"

Or perhapes hookers on the corners in the towns.

Are sheep considered 'ambient fauna' or 'sexy decorations'?

You guys heard that one about Joc, right?

He went to the doctor thinking he had an STD, but it turns out he was just allergic to wool.

Well the first thing is that they went from 256x256 bitmaps to 1024x1024. So all the planes have to be skinned at the better quality. And all the terrain tiles, etc.

That will actually cause a bit of an improvement in the overall look.

Alot of the beaches, cliffs (white cliffs of dover on BoB map) etc. will built into the tiles.

But I am also hoping for more 3D objects or control over trees, hedge rows, etc.

Would like to try to redo the ocean also.

Be nice when they get the cities etc to look like a bombed out city rather than just squares where there once was a building.

Also when I building explodes it would be cool to see it shatter rather than spin on ot's roof like a top.

Watching the buildings explode in AHII reminds me every time of the Wizard of OZ when Dorothy's house is sucked up in the tornado.

SEARCHLIGHTS!!!! Ofcourse we gotta have nights back for THAT to happen.

I have to agree with the night combat request. The buildings in the town and on the fields could be lit.

My burning aircraft shooting across the sky would look much more dramatic.

In time, I bet we will see ground cover much like this or better. Will not be over night, but it will happen.
