Greetings Elegosians

Ooooooh things are looking even prettier on the island. One of the main visual changes has been our first past on terrain grass and foliage across the whole island. Grass, wildflowers, bushes, cliffside vegetation, there is a little bit of something nearly everywhere now. Super optimised shaders have allowed us to be pretty free spirited with it and as time goes on we can adjust density to make sure these things stay unobtrusive.

We have continued our set dressing of the main areas, this time the rooftops in the village look alot more lived in as well as scaffolding around the crumbling houses.




So here is the full list of what’s new and changed in Elegos.
