It&#8217;s been a couple months, and I&#8217;m now quite sure where I want to go next with the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a glaring problem that needs to be solved.  Where are all the Pirates?  You can&#8217;t have a Pirate Island without, like, Pirates running around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s still in the early testing phases, but I&#8217;m starting to add realistic people to go with the realistic scenery and environment.  My main issue that I face is adding too many figures to one area, which bogs down the system due to the number of polygons being rendered.  So, a lot of tweaking will be necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, even though the prototype image above looks utterly horrible, I am starting to see the possibilities of having Pirates wandering about the place.  This, combined with the improvements I&#8217;m making to the island&#8217;s environment itself, may be the linchpin to turning this game from Early Access to completed title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m super excited about the prospect and am raring to go!
