So, creating a game from scratch...... I have always loved the idea of a village in the trees, or strewn across small islands in a forrest or built on stilts, pretty much anything out of the ordinary. The sci-fi-fantasy world probably has alot to do with that. Some of the writers to have consumed alot of my life are Katherine Kerr to Robin Hobb, Janny Wurts, Celia Dart-Thorn, Raymond E Feist and who could not include Tolkien. They always pulled me in with their new worlds and strange people, so I guess its inevitable that when given free reign my mind goes straight there.
So anyway these are some of my concept images for the enviroment below:
I was leaning more towards a tree city to begin with but its come round to a mixture tree houses and of close small islands and floating houses with a market/town square etc brought together when needed from a series of smaller rafts which are bound together to create a large floating area. the people move through their village by a combination of rope bridges and boats. which works as a defence mechanism as much as anything else. there would be no easy way to invade this village as the land around them is densly wooded and unstable and the watter too deep to wade.
