This week I focused on making sure my level sections would be able to connect properly, not have any noticeable gaps, and still maintain a high frame rate.

To that end I spent a time of the first level section, making sure everything works fairly well. It seems to work pretty well, and just needs a couple small tweaks.

To start, I made the first level section fairly simple, but I do want to make some of them a little more treacherous.

When working on the level sections, I want it to look like a large continous forest with no super obvious visual boarders. I think I've been pretty successful to this end.

I also really wanted to have completey natural barriers, but this is something I'll need to work on. I didn't want to make thick walls of trees, nor did I want everything to be tall steep cliffs like I did on the test level.

So for now, if you go venturing into the forest, you're gonna run into some very invisible walls!

I'm pretty pleased with how this is looking, and am ready to build a few more level sections!

Forest Level Start

Procedural level sections being made. The level has two sections that are always the same, but beyond that it will start to pick level sections randomly from a list of sections. So far the seems between sections are hidden fairly well. I'm not sure what's causing my computer lock ups, might be doing too much at once!
