Thesis Update 2/13-2/20

This week in the world of thesis, I worked on my second interior area, The Sanctum. This is the populated settlement nestled between the cracks of the Purgatory Caverns. It is here the player will learn of the settlers’ strife and troubles with the newly arrived cultists. This area is fairly large with multiple shacks where the settlers do business and live. A crack in the rock lets some outside sunlight into the cavern, supporting the growth of a small farm. There is also close access to an underground pond, giving the folks down there a clean water source and a place to fish. All of the main geometry is done and so is some of the lighting and decoration. This area allows for some fun and interesting lighting due to the inclusion of handmade light sources like lanterns and generator-powered electric lights. I also set up the 3 other tunnels connecting to the Sanctum. One leads to the main quest objective where the cultists reside. The other two will lead to side quest areas that each give a unique cave dwelling experience, such pitch black darkness, and a bioluminescent wonderland.
