As I described in the previous post, the majority of the work on TGOR has lately been very programming-heavy, which is Hopfel's department, and because of that I got a bit of "free time" if you can call it that...

Our work is gradually moving towards finalizing the build - it involves a lot of technical "behind the scenes" programming-related work, while it doesn't have a lot of pretty visuals, this is the fou...

I've already posted multiple variants how the hub world could look like, but such is the life of any designer - always keep iterating and improving.
With our new mission-based approach to reality exploration, we need a hub area, where friend...
