City Districts

Project Main Goals

• Design a interactive, fictional city scenery based on a futuristic timeline somewhere after year 2050.
• Blend in and use Polish signs and some of the Polish language on buildings and advertising signs.
• Blend in and use some modern Asian buildings and architecture amidst the European farmland.
• Design interactive infrastructure and objects typically a part of the Farming Simulator videogame.
• Add custom-animated NPCs to make the city feel dynamic and alive.
• Adjust the farmland accordingly to assets placed onto the terrain plane.
• Make the city lit up at night and add variations that suit the year’s seasons.
• End the project with a final alpha/beta test on a low-end system for final optimisation before the final release.

Secondary Goals (Visuals)

• Re-create the Zielonka River into a flowing, dynamic river, not a static water surface mesh *experimental*.
• Add trees for a specific area of the map that is forestry-friendly.
• Replace the NPC traffic and pedestrian system with a simplified system.
• Create some static and dynamic NPC vehicles and machinery inside city districts, some of which are trigger-animated based on the player’s position.
• Use static lights based on alpha emissive texture maps for better performance *experimental*.
• Make dynamic lights by using shaders included with the GIANTS Engine.
• Make dynamic animated objects such as various factory machinery (robotic), rotating fans, doors, etc.
• Use occluder meshes to optimise distant assets (long-distance view/level of detail) and use minimum clipping distance to render simplified 3D meshes for large superstructures *experimental*.

Secondary Goals (Triggers)

• Ensure that interactive zones (trigger points) work correctly for production facilities and sellpoints.
• Create a vehicle shop where vehicles and tools spawn inside the superstructure.
• Create various player-placeable assets with triggers that are unique to the mod, especially futuristic, agricultural farms, buyable housing, and so on.
• Do LUA scripting if needed.
• Use simple trigger markers where sellable goods can be sold, but also experiment with the visual design of these visuals.
• Add various collectives unless the ‘known golden apple’ will be the only collective asset for the mod.
• Trigger-animations.

Third Goals (Experimental/Vehicle Modding and more)

• Design various vehicles and tools included with this mod based on fictional, modernistic machinery design (aka. sci-fi).
• Wildlife.
• Player missions.

The average development time for this project per day is about 4-9 work hours at its most intense due to assets that are being created from scratch. All work is done voluntarily for the Farming Simulator community.
