About this image
Something I noticed a lot about past releases of this mod was that people really enjoyed taking screenshots of the world. It was an effective source of feedback and, as I also learned, an equally effective and creative way to spread the word about Areth -- then known as RoA.
Now, ever since I turned to building a smaller world for the sake of higher detail, I thought I might pay tribute to those on the Nexus who routinely screen-captured my work alongside their own installed mods, and stuck in a few 'secret' areas that were designed purely for aesthetic purposes. The above image showcases one such area under development.
I cannot express just how satisfied I am with this latest build. It will be, by far, my most detailed submission to the Nexus yet. It's taken a whole year to sculpt it out this way -- much of that time spent just preparing for it and gathering design plans outside of the CS -- but I feel, and I think you'll feel too, that such level of quality is worth the wait.
For the first time ever, I can proudly say that everything in Areth was/is being/will always be made by hand. No procedural generation used here. Even the heightmap was produced within the Construction Set, which was painstaking, but produced results many times more rewarding. Like that intricately carved mountain trail on the far right.
