Don't bother posting screenshots over 800x600, coz' then you have to scroll to see the rest of them.

looking nice but it still needs work. the lighting looks inconsistent in some of those scenes. youve got bright grass with relatively dark-looking trees. the patches of grass look nice but theyre a bit too long and rectangular looking. then again, youve got drl and cg water so that automatically makes your game cool looking to me. =)

Paul - Yeah I should cut down the size
Thanks Sean - I will have to adjust the maximum illumination of the grass, I knew it was too bright but thought it might just be my monitor :)

That's some sweet water!

Eww. . .I didn't drink it! The towns Porty Potties empty into there, sick!

Oh, and the sky is really cool looking in the hilly screenshot.
