Update:
Although Achilles has attempted to export Foothills for me, it was not entirely successful due to a bad unitypackage from me. Now that school has started there's no telling when he might be able to try again, so I am considering getting the Pro demo, if anyone would explain to me how to export. Although I don't have a mars link for you guys, I do have this new webplayer including my new world "Everest" in slot 2. If I do get the pro demo I will export this world as well, however I will otherwise not bother someone else with doing it for me. Hope you enjoy the new world, and see if you can drive the whole way up, there's at least two paths from the bottom.

Foothills
The idea behind this world was to have some mountains then design the ground around them, showing gradually smaller hills. It was originally much smaller, but has developed to be a medium size with more detail than the original foothills idea. It has been specially designed to allow virtually any kind of gameplay, and any kind of player. Newbies should be able to safely navigate through it without wings, but it should be good for dogfighting, stunting, and who knows what else. Please enjoy the live player while Aubrey considers my request for it to be implemented.

GREAT JOB

Interesting world, I like it. You may want to scale it up though, because its scale makes it quite small. Maybe 2x the size would be good.

I dunno, I'm going for a smaller world.

Good job.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills
Thank you. That is exactly what I was going for. It means a lot to me to have someone like you understand the world.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills
I have to agree with GTR. It does feel like freestyle. Nice work though.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills
Although with this size of terrain I cannot do much more, I would welcome any suggestions for painting the terrain. It is looking a little bare, and I have yet to use the grass texture. Also, do you guys think that I should move the crater up to get rid of the water in it or even completely flatten it?
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills
I would like it to be bigger... Like... add a part similar to the maze likke area of Freestyle.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills
I can't make it have more blank area without adding another terrain, and that tends to be advised against. Do you think that I have anything in my world which could be replaced with that?
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills (Updated!)
That's bull... just make the terrain size larger and clear some area out.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills (Updated!)
I'd be happy to do that if you could explain in more detail. What do you mean by clear some area out?
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills (Updated once again!)
why is world two the sky king?......
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills (Updated once again!)
Some people have said that adding a second world makes it run better. I just happened to choose the sky king, because I thought that its absence of terrain would take less space.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills (Updated once again!)
Sorry about that! There was a seemingly minor, but apparantly major bug in SmartEmbed, that I had decided not to fix, as at the time, I saw no way to! :P
It's all fixed now, so you embed should be working.

Still doesn't work for me. It's probably just my internet. The loading bar comes up but does nothing.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills (Updated once again!)
Yep, this time it's your internet, but there WAS a problem.
Solutions:
The Unity Web Player has as habit of showing a frozen loading bar until it's about 25% done. If you have slower internet, it may take time to get to the 25% mark. Try waiting five minutes or so.
Your browser may have cached the older version of SmartEmbed. Click here, and keep refreshing until you see a "SmartEmbed innitiater" up at the top. Then, try loading the web player again.
It may be a problem with SmartEmbed browser compatibility. It would be VERY helpful if I knew your browser, so-as to diagnose the problem.

Thanks Flynn! It's working everywhere now. Any chance of a comment on the world though?
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills (Updated once again!)
Haha, sure, I'll comment in a bit.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills (Update 3)
Nice job PR! But where are we going to drive? Not a lot of driving space.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills (Update 3)
You think I should smooth out a bit more to drive on?
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills (Update 3)
As it stands now, I certainly think it's drivable, but I did like it much better when it was more flat.
Your mountains are awesome, but players are just going to see them as obstacles. You need to keep mountains reserved for the very edge of the world. Keeping them in the middle in a world of this size, is not a good idea.
Also, multiple terrains are actually ok, it's just when players try to line them up, bad things happen. If you want to make the world bigger, put a much large terrain (Twice the size of the first), and then raise up only half of that terrain to form a "Half-moon", around any area near the terrain. It will just look like river, or a deep trench, and you can continue your world in the new terrain.

Maybe I could make another, separate, and even bigger island some distance away?
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills (Update 3)
That would be GREAT! Either put the spawn on that one, and make the smaller one a "Secret" to be found, or make the world about navigating to the other island!
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills (Update 3)
Should I go with the same look for the other?
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills (Update 3)
Now, don't let me CONTROL your world, otherwise it wouldn't really be yours. :P
Do what you think is best.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills (Update 3)
This looks much better than it did before!
Much more original!
Good job!

Its had some great improvements, I love it.

I hopw you won't mind that I followed FC's idea and made another island... It's still pretty small.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Enormous Update, Island added
This is a real treat PR, simple, yet complex. I love the new island too, and I think it'd look best following the texturing from the original island. The very edge of the cliffs could (IMO) perform best smoothed out a little so as to be ''user-friendly.'' Other than that, very nice.
~Alex
(PS: I love the meteorite placing and texturing.)
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Enormous Update, Island added
Quite nice! This looks like a joy to dogfight in, and yet also a good racing/driving/doing whatever-the-heck-you-want map. ;)
Keep it up!
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Enormous Update, Island added
Awesome map, PR!
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Enormous Update, Island added
Hey, do any of you have a better placement idea for the spawn point? Where it is now looks cool, but as I now realize is terrible for newbies who can't fly. As of now, I can't think where it should be moved.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Enormous Update, Island added
How thoughtful....
Try moving it here:
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Enormous Update, Island added
It's looking great!! I feel muuuch happier with my bigger landmass. XP
Try putting the spawn riiight here:
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Enormous Update, Island added
I'm gonna go with Tigerstorm's idea. There'll be a small update soon.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Enormous Update, Island added
You could make the meteorite movable. Components/Phisicks/Rigid
Body.
Can't wait until the next update!
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Enormous Update, Island added
That could be cool, but it doesn't really make sense. Sorry...
About the update, though, it'll be a lot sooner then I thought. It just needs to upload first.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Enormous Update, Island added
Boo-Hoo... Why not? It would be so cool, you could push it into people.
;)
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Enormous Update, Island added
Sorry, but that's not really fitting with the world. Anyway, it's too late now, I've PMed a request to Aubrey and don't have time to upload another unity package to dropbox. They take forever.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Enormous Update, Island added
Alright.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Enormous Update, Island added
How about another small island?
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Enormous Update, Island added
Maybe use a plane on the bottom of the world so the terrains son't just look like they are floating around.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Enormous Update, Island added
What do you mean? There is already a plane. Just check the player, it's there.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Enormous Update, Island added
HE probably sees the dirt texturing under the lava, which makes the bigger island pop up against the ocean bottom. It would be wise to make that area lavarock.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Final Version?
It looks great!! :D
I can't wait to play it!
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Final Version!
Wow.
Awesome.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Final Version!
Simply Beautiful.
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Final Version!
Hmm, more texture variation maybe?
» Reply to CommentRe: Foothills - Final Version!
Too late for that now. Sorry
