First props
It's been a while, I've been partially lazy but also busy with moving plans, but I am still continuing the project.
Recently I made some props - the classic metal garbage container, another plastic one, garbage bag, busstop, park bench and bin, a street lamp and a smaller lantern...
And also a bunch of traffic signs inspired by a mix of Latvian and Soviet ones:
They have a subtle retro-reflective effect when illuminated by bright lights at night:
I also have a mod (and shader) which detects the collision lighting under props and alters their brightness accordingly, and also places a subtle fake shadow under them, big thanks to Dante for the help with that. This means that props fit well in whatever environment they are placed - a bright street or a dark alley, unlike the original game where they are always very bright.
The map has progressed slightly as well:
I'll be busy with moving soon so the next article will probably take a while again.
