Medieval Playground

New look...

Delivering a new game, after the failure of the first versions that were presented.
Trying to maintain some of the main idea from the firsts releases, and trying to do a "medieval city-building strategy simulation game".
With a freeroam part that allows to take screenshots at 8k.

This version is now being tested, for bugs and also to decide what to implement first in the list.

It's a little playable, can use the freeroam to take screenshots. Also the "New Game" takes you to the part of "medieval city-building strategy simulation game", that still a lot of features to be added next.

The terrain can be edited using right-control and right-shift, also the trees can be placed using the left-control and left-shift. The main features of the game, like placing the building and manage the units will work with bugs because still is in testing.

I will work on this version, delivering an regular update, for now you can use the freeroam for those who like to build and take photos, and if you want to have a look at the "New Game" part it's also fun even if is still not finished.

I hope you have some fun with this game, will add more next versions. Thanks.

The island are terrains like in the other maps, also can use the same functions to build/edit as the other maps.
-5 types of ships, galleon, raft, pirate ship, rowboat and viking boat, the galleon and pirate ship are the same but the sails texture change. The Galleon and pirate ship have doors to go below to the cannons and other to go below the ster in a room that gives acess to the rear balcany. The rowboat and viking boat have rowing animation. There are still work to be done in the ships, two more rooms need to be modeled, and also putting the cannons to fire. All five ships can be placed in the ocean and can drive them.
