[Agrestis Terraforming] A little teaser!

[Khaelis]

I originally planned on not showing what I've been working on for my island and only showing the finished product, but I've had a pretty productive day with terraforming all day and felt like showing what I've worked on so far...

Now, I'm not going to show actual images of my town, just the map since I don't want to spoil TOO much! If I'm going to tease actual images of the areas I've worked on, I'd at least like to finish a bit more than what I've worked on so far. I'm just hoping that showing what I've done so far on the map gives a vague idea on what I'm going for. Obviously, most building placements aren't final.

P.S. Building placements aren't final, except for Nook's Cranny and the Campsite located in the northern area of my island.

It's coming along awesome !!! Terraforming takes so long but you're making amazing progress already!

Considering I spent the last four hours tearing down all the cliffs from my default layout.. yeah, it takes a while. e-e

Can't wait to see your town progress! I know it'll turn out nice~
Also, I too have been terraforming all day. It got so tiring to the point where I put my character in her bed and took a nap lol

Interesting preview, I’m curious to see how your hills and lakes turned out ingame!

Of course I’d love to come see it in person, but could you possibly describe how it is to walk above cliffs?
In sections D-F–1-3 I’d like to know how much they interfere with visibility. I’ve been considering cliffs in the lower map half, but worry that I’ll lose too much space above them due to obstruction.

If I'm below it, it obscures a lot of visibility for the area above those acres, but that's what I was aiming for. When you're up on the cliff, it shows a lot of the area I've cleared out. Don't want to get into further detail, since it spoils my plan for the acres above the area. But as for visibility, it depends where you stand. Takes a bit of thought.

Though, I will explain why I made it the way I did; I wanted the obscured visibility until you walked to the higher level because I wanted the bottom left area of my town to be the 'plaza' area, and I incorporated Nook's Cranny into it. The area is sort of in a 'blocked in' state, where the only obvious options are to head north to the cliffs, or take the longer detour around (towards the Acre D-3 area) that will eventually lead to the same area the north exit leads to, or to the right side of the island.

I think I understand what you’re going for. Thanks for the detailed response, and good luck with further development!

Glad I was able to explain it. Did the best I could without spoiling my plans... and thanks! Hoping to perhaps show a bit more in a week, perhaps.
