Helpful video: Your first lakes

"Tidal Tribe - Tutorial (Timelapse) - Your first lakes" on youtube I thought I'd upload a quick timelapse / tutorial / howto video to demonstrate my approach to shaping the terrain in Tidal Tribe. Just to give you a little inspiration on how to start. Because from what I've seen, a lot of people are making their life a lot harder than it is^^ As a general rule of thumb you want to build a channel towards the back, then build like a little irrigation system that lets the water flow through the terrain, back to the sea. It also saves time if you concentrate on quantity first and on quality later: just go build lots of lakes to give your NPCs already some fruits to collect, then once that is done, you can check where certain plants are missing and do all the fine-tuning. And the most important advice of them all: don't worry too much about the details! I know there's lots of graphs and numbers and everything but... most of those are really not that important. I just love statistics far too much, that's why I put them in. Sorry! (should have hid that stuff behind a "I love stats" button...)
