I think what he was referring to is how in some sections of TA the massive tree spam meant entire portions of the walkway was obscured by trees and you just had to let jesus take the wheel and hope to god you wouldn't die by running forward

Of course, that's really insignificant detail and there's much more to worry about right now. Just thinking of all the possibilities for level segmentation is cool enough. Nice work! :clap:


Thanks man :D . We actually need to chat about whymsy map, I had a couple of ideas so it can be a possibility it's implemented in early alpha. But I'm not sure what the current status on the map is.


Yeah I already remade the horse animations. Was already working on remaking the map and am going to continue working on it from now on. i can render in d2's isometric perspective now, so things should look much nicer this time around.

Well, it makes a lot of sense from a lore standpoint.

The water you see at the east of act 2 is actually part of the Twin Seas (which is what connects acts 2 and 3 in the lore). And the uber we currently know as the Twin Seas is actually an island (Skartara) in the Twin Seas, so it has been renamed. So yes, you will be able to take a boat from Lut Gholein to Skartara Island, where you will be able to enter Tran Athulua, fight Athulua herself or wonder what purpose do the golden statues have.

If there is some amazon / rogue large stone statue, that would be neat.

Personally, I would prefer 2nd sewer entrance (wooden stair) -> walkable port / dock area -> door near ship area.
That give more impression you are traveling by ship.
