We will not be removing old content, so it is all here to stay so that older players like yourself and others have the same Last Moon we have always had-- only with a bit of shine up front.
Hmm, this seems fair. Heck, with the new examples the newer areas might not be too bad. Might take a tad getting use to, but doable.

As for the grass, that's understandable and should be taken into account by the users. But I must say that the seaweed and fern looks great! I might have mistaken a few attributes in the examples for the overall style, but seeing more of it has made it clear what the update will look like.

The grass can and likely will be used to create small pebbles on the ground, or snowpiles, so that your character literally sinks in the snow ^^
Interesting, in which case the terrain should have no detail issues. It'll also be a new addition, and a good one at that! I'm sure the users will be excited to explore this new feature, myself included.  :D

I think the lack of images is what sparked people's imagination in all the worrysome ways. If people were okay with the onslaught, they'll be okay with this.

--

With the demo map we'll try to simulate distant land, or at least and illusion of it.

For now I have one or two different methods in mind involving a hella big octagonal item and lots of paint skills, or a ring.

Updates will likely follow after the 14th

Oh, i'm back in swing lol.



So here is a 4-tiled texture example of what i've been working on.

There are 3 overlaying textures (because we can overlay textures, Duh)
Stone, frosted stone and partially snowed stone, which should be able to transition nicely onto a snow texture.

Woo.

oh my god. okay so. it's been a while--
i honestly had given up on last moon due to the fact that the game was, well. dying.
i'm so glad to see that it's coming back with new content, because this game is very nostalgic to me and gives me good memories. in fact, i just recently downloaded it again. and although i don't really like these ice maps, i'm still looking forward to the new layout.

@Cloudfish
Yess, they will tile between eachother, not have too many hue disruptances. Allowing for creative matching of them!

@Okina
Indeed. It's been time to set this thing back in a swing.
However I have to agree, some of the onslaught maps. Specfically hub and ascend, were dissapointing, I never recieved the original labyrinth, nor the summit. However it poses as a nice new change to what is to come, something that is a random bunch of mismatched content.
I'd have a love to redo Hub, or have another do it instead and aswell rename it back to 'Aurora lake'. As to why the mapmaker named it after it's nickname despite the actual name when stated in black on white is beyond me.

@Aetherna
Thank you dear ;)

After completing some of the quests in the hub, I have one suggestion to give. I was quite intrigued by some of the things the penguin NPCs in the hub were wearing, such as the mysterious robes of Calcimero and Apprentice Oltomaro, I would love to see those as a wearable item for the penguin models. Especially in different colors. I also loved Captain Eillrund's wolverine like blades that he had on his wings as well as his helmet, not to mention King Sundyaron's glorious crown and cape. Just a few suggestions that I hope might be taken into consideration, being not a lot of items fit well on the adorable penguin models.

OH yes in fact, I really wanted to implement the claws and the helmet c: so that's certianly a thing to come, especially since the models are complete.

After the pair is placed, it is to be expected to implement more such sexy weaponry. There allready was a unique set of clawed weapons for Eilrund.


[EDIT]

Here have some promised nautiloids!

It's been a looong while since the last update on this blog. Do note I have to reinstall all the programs including LM before I can start working anew. But when I start...It'll be full force train to the face.

And I bring you, some nice examples of future maps. Note that as with some people's fears, the textures are not painfully light, but are very saturated for that very fancy...lush appearance of a tropical jungle atol. All textures and models are LM exclusive, so you won't (and hopefully shouldn't) find our stuff on other sites or servers.

Items are propperly places around and do not look all too copy-pasted. You can walk through plants that you realistically should walk through... while you can hop on the stone platforms/walls or lounge on the bent palm trees.
The only thing missing are propper, moody, dark nights.

Shoutout to josh for the awesome dancefloor, disco ball, seats and pool toys!



WHOOOA IS THAT A...BEACH BALL?







There is still so much for us to do till the next update. I hope small treats like this make the wait worth it ;)
