RE: [www.nextfrictionalgame.com] Amnesia Discussion

The way I created large and detailed environments in Half-Life² Source engine is basically create them as big interior rooms. Use tall enough building so backdrops can be made simple or made redundant. And when I do have a larger backdrop you can make it fairly simple with low poly models and alpha channeled planes. HPL2 also occludes anything that is behind a static object. So you can have pretty large outdoor areas if you design them right. It's a matter of having most assets outside as static objects and also using other ways to boost performance such as simple collisions and clustering (or combining the same objects as HPL2 does it in the mapview.exe). There are of course limits to having large outdoor areas and the necessary challenges come with it when doing them within HPL2, but it's not impossible if you know how to work around them.
