After a short pause, visual development resumed with a tighter focus on settlements. Feedback on the first neighborhood patterns was turned into a broader study of real places, providing a stronger base for the next revision.
What changed
- Early settlement and neighborhood patterns received a focused critique.
- A wider reference base was assembled to compare how populated places grow and differ.
- The next settlement revision began from observed patterns rather than generic layouts.
Next
The next step was to carry that evidence into the rendered world while continuing work on water, structures, and the systems that connect places together.
