Chainmonsters Community Newsletter - January 13th 2023

Another week passes by faster than the last...
In this week's update, we wanted to show the community some of the work the development team has been working on. In particular the open world.
While creating a game we feel that those little touches and fine details really can make a huge difference in providing a player with a more immersive experience. Due to this the development team has been incorporating techniques to allow this massively open world to really flourish.

As can be seen in the screenshot above there are randomly positioned mushrooms and blades of grass. Rather than generating traditional grass cards, the team wanted to allow each set of grass types to have different parameters, for example, their height, width, tilt, and colour. These can then all be affected by the wind and other features such as shadowing. More cool updates on this are to come soon!
We have many more exciting updates and features to share with you in our next weekly update!
In the meantime don't forget to join our Discord server where some new stickers have been added for #NationalStickerDay

Until next time!
