1C Game Studios latest developer diary focuses on seasonal variations for the IL-2 Series Korea map. The developer reports that there are five seasonal variations that the map will showcase giving some unique visuals in each combination. Let’s have a look!
The seasons, they are a-changin!
For Dev Blog 67, 1CGS go into some details on how seasonal variation will work in Korea. The overall effect is quite similar to how its handled in Great Battles but with some interesting artistic focused changes.
The diary reports on the challenges that they faced on each type of seasonal variation. Autumn for example is difficult to pull off with colourful variations in trees and vegetation that can easily look like a repeating pattern if done incorrectly. They say they’ve found a solution to that so we’ll have to see it in action.
Winter has more variety too where they say that some areas will be entirely snow covered while others will have a lighter dusting of snow. More realistic particularly of Korea and the photographs that are available from during the war.
A video has been released showing off the variations.
So we have summer, autumn, winter, spring and… blooming spring. The fifth variation shows off Korea as spring begins to take hold. They say they will show off more of that soon.
