Optimize. Optimize again.... and optimize some more!

Japanese architecture's a b****!. Unlike the typical square houses in most of the world, these structures have a great deal of angles, wood beams, detailed decorative trim, cross pieces and more. Not good if you're trying to keep poly & vert counts low for a mobile VR device!

I've been spending weeks reworking models to reduce anything I can to replace high areas of dense geometry with detailed textures. I completely remodeled the roof and trim area.  What was once a 1 million poly scene is now between 80k-300k and still looks just as good if not better than it did before due to Unity light-maps & culling properties. I've been working with the exterior of the ninja temple mostly as my test bed for how the game will look.  For fun, I  added bamboo trees and some environmental effects just to see what the world could look like.

Above has the default baked lighting & no decoration yet so it will only look better over time!

In the coming weeks I'll be finalizing the layout of the temple. Things I'm adding:
  • Training Dojo - You'll find weapons and ninjas to fight here.
  • Training Yard - Targets and training dummies perfect for throwing weapons.
  • Graveyard Shrine - Place to receive your stats on player kills / deaths.
  • Hanging Bell - Place to change audio settings.
  • Water Shrine - Can drink water here. Possibly to heal up or fix your wounds.
  • House - You'll find your ninja gear and supplies stored at this location.
  • Stone Lanterns - These will provide the lighting to the area.
  • Surrounding Cliffs - This is a temple in the mountains after all.
  • Main Keep Interior - This temple has a secret purpose.
  • Improved Temple Gates & Exterior Walls.
  • Raised buildings - Will be lifting the buildings off the ground a bit to provide areas where water can flow.
  • Terrain instead of a flat plate - Will allow for multiple textures and walking surfaces.

ALOT MORE UPDATES WILL BE COMING SOON!
