Welcome to the vibrant heart of Tramau! This week's Pic of the Week takes you on a visual journey through the inner city, offering a sneak peek into the ongoing development of this exciting European city. Tramau is beginning to take shape, with its diverse mix of buildings, green spaces, and the emergence of a modern mall.
Week 3 - The inner city of Tramau
The cityscape reflects our commitment to striking a balance between preserving historical charm and embracing progressive architectural elements. The history of the Mall serves as a prime example of the successful symbiosis of old and new.
Approved in 1985, the project transformed existing late 19th-century residential blocks into a modern shopping passage strategically placed in the city center. The renovation and repurposing of this historic building into a contemporary mall presented challenges, but it ultimately became a vibrant meeting point for locals and tourists alike, contributing to the revitalization of the local economy. The project symbolizes urban development and respectful preservation of Tramau's history.
Ensuring a seamless experience
Behind the scenes, our development team is hard at work meticulously crafting each building and green area, ensuring that every detail contributes to the city's authenticity.
Meanwhile, we are also in the middle of adding cars and pedestrians to make the city feel even more alive. Simulating dozens of cars and pedestrians while keeping the environment beautiful and the tram controls accurate is a tough task. Our solution involves smart asset loading – a trick that seamlessly loads and unloads assets to maintain performance without compromising the player experience.
CTS: Tram is set to release in 2024, and we look forward to sharing all the details with you. Stay tuned for a lot more exciting information.
