TEF II step 6

Michael Samyn's picture
There's a new progress report about the remake of the game on the dev log, accessible for free to backers of the Second Decade.

We have added hyacinths, the ground of Phase One and the Ename church ruin.

It's starting to look like our forest!

Wow! The Forest looks so beautiful but still homely. Smiling I love the progress so far! The Ruins in particular look really good in that engine.

in the game the flowers

in the game the flowers float in the air and there supposed to be on the ground. maybe they can fix that when the remake comes out.

^ They don't float, they're

^ They don't float, they're on stems (like this!). Instead of being flat on the ground, you can walk through them instead of on top of them.

This update is looking fantastic! It looks so vivid

Those flowers still don't

Those flowers still don't look like any hyacinths I've ever seen and I'm not sure why you call them that. That's not a complaint, just something that's always confused me. But whatever they are I can tell just from this video how much better they look now, along with everything else.

I really hope we can keep all the same glitches, though. They're a large part of the forest's charm, imo.

The old glitches will

The old glitches will probably disappear. But look forward to all new ones!

I think those flowers do give the impression of hyacinths in a forest. We choose to not to model naturalistically because we feel suggestion works better than realism in realtime simulation.

and I cant wait to see new

and I cant wait to see new animations in the game when your done developing/scripting the game also is it just you and the Audrey working on the entire game or do you have a team that helps with the development?

The forest looks splendid due

The forest looks splendid due it.
The endless forest is one of those rare gems, especially for it's age that is able to captivate how a real forest looks like. It's only issue is the lack of undergrowth and tree spacing, but that's so we have more space to roam around ^^.

Only kingdom come: deliverance comes to mind of a game with an actual forestly looking forest. It's only vice is that the trees are twice too short and the wrong saplings growing beneath the trees.

Can't wait to see more of it!

The Isle has some pretty

The Isle has some pretty awesome forests in it too, they had a really pretty Redwoods map...that unless you had a really good pc would otherwise make it cry lol so I think they removed it.
Though I think it's being implemented into another map.



I'm super interested to see what happens to TEF's forest since you can do stuff like the above in games now.

that answer works just fine

that answer works just fine for me

Beautiful demo! I can't wait

Beautiful demo! I can't wait to see the new forest once the remake is released.
It's something positive to look forward to. Smiling

It's nice to watch the demo

It's nice to watch the demo version of the new forest. I'm also a fan of the project "The Path" and the forest itself made an impression; I always wanted TEF to be like him, even if we had to wait longer.
I hope that there will also be an update for other forms of animals, animation.
