The recent day and night cycle revision was a needed boon for visual quality and the ever elusive immersive game experience that inspires confidence and value of every feature in Medusa Frontier.
After careful consideration, I realized a 2x terrain scale makes better use of limited development resources and strikes a balance that is ideal for the intended game experience and target graphics performance. Using a 2x terrain scale increases explorable game world and surface area by 4x and creates a nice balance of intended visuals, improved open world gameplay, good graphics performance and a better overall immersive experience as players explore the game environment.
To be blunt, 2x terrain scale also makes the most of limited game engine features while securing a better open world game experience and exploration scenarios involving large travel distances.
