"The riverbanks have also been upgraded with more biodiversity to bring them closer to the original intention as seen in the concept art," said senior environment artist Patrick Blankenzee. This highlights how the remaster respects and enhances the original vision, deepening the player's experience of the world.
Fellow environment artist Julian Hofman remarked, "...the remaster has a 'fresh generation of moss,' and I know you're probably thinking, 'Who cares?' but in terms of a game whose best moments are often found in just quietly walking around..." This speaks to the attention to detail that enhances gameplay immersion.
The new post offers a pretty good deep dive into each of these areas with some really interesting comments on craft and how the results were achieved by some of Nixxes' developers. It underlines that the remaster isn't just a simple update but a labor of love.
More NPCs in villages, outposts, and cities has been one of the notable improvements. This could significantly alter how players interact with the game's world, making it feel more alive and engaging.
