While watching the trailer I thought, "wow these are some intensely shitty snowfall effects, and why is it snowing in what looks like Spring time anyways?" Then I realized it was the festive snow from this page going over the video as it were playing.

Heh, menthol cigarettes.

at the point where you're considering playing something this ugly you really have to start admitting to the fact that you have a debilitating mmo addiction

There's no easy way to embed it other than fully downloading it via yt-dlp and reuploading to the vault, and I'm not going to bother tbh. Just click the link if you want to watch it.

Here's two unlisted videos with the developer showing how he creates levels(mapping):

low polycount 3D is very legible, see also Warcraft 3 and Planetside.

Yeah, people want AAA graphics and play, but also a thoroughly well designed in depth game system. So naturally, all developers spend the bulk of their budget on the flashy useless crap and the game systems suffer.

Well, that and the fact that many people have a cognitive dissonance as it concerns the difference between a "Game" and that of "Entertainment", which is why all of the "Game" aspects are continuously stripped out to favor the convenience of entertainment.

It is like trying to build software for a client who can't seem to figure out the difference between what they "want" as it concerns what they actually "need" and so you go in this infinite circle of providing them what they ask for only for them to realize that isn't what they wanted.

My only complaint here is the textures are too low resolution.

All things considered, I would take a shit looking game that has a very well designed system of play filled with proper risk vs reward (old standards, not modern) over some fancy trash that is essentially a gimmick to appeal to graphic whoring.
