Visual Description

Area Type: Overland Map: Desert Wasteland
Area Size: Large: 20+ x 20+

Overland Map Tutorial

The general design of this area applies to all the Mirrorscape areas, excluding mountainous formations, canyons, specific caverns, etc.

For as far as the eye can discern, there is nothing but sand and rock, smoke billowing from any fissures in the rock.

  • All Mirrorscape exteriors will use the same Skybox ( fx_fugue_plane ), Mirror Shimmer VFX and DayNightSettings (Area Designers have some freedom to alter them somewhat, but in general they will remain the same).
  • Mirror Shimmer VFX will be applied to the areas to give the player that the light shifts ever so slightly. This VFX is similiar to that of the Akachi Battle VFX for Neutral Characters.
  • Area Design is reminiscent of a combination between the Fugue Plane from Mask of the Betrayer and SGK73's Wasteland Prefab with our own twist of course.
  • Most areas are devoid of civilization spare for the Seeker Encampment.
  • Sparse remnants of life previously existing: Skeletons, Dead Tree Husks, etc.

Area Layout Requirements:

  • Path leading south toward the Mirrorscape Entrance Area.
  • Path leading East toward Highway 2.
  • Path leading North toward the Seeker Encampment Exterior.
  • A few caverns littering the area serving as the Forsaken Encampments. The Forsaken will alternate through these caverns throughout the game.
  • The "Highway" is no more a slightly traveled path - a dirt road.
  • A few Light Gathering Crystals throughout the area off the main road.

Gameplay

Overland Map Removed, area questionable!

Discussion

1. Rended Souls like to gather at the crystals, there will almost always be an encounter in this area and Highway 2 at a crystal before the PC is able to use it.

Music

Here is a list of options for possible music files for this area. (List identitical to that of The Void.)

1. Sand, Smoke, Rock (Or: As Far as the Eye Can See)
