Part 24: Route 26 and 27

Part 24

How long has it been? 2 months? I had this planned for release since October 2016 but just didn't get around to it until now.

Route 27

Route 27 is the first step into Kanto. It is a long east-west route set on the side of a cliff. 

The route is a mix of ocean, foothills and mountains.

The route is held together with two bridges, staircases and Tohjo Falls to make the route traversable.

Tohjo Falls is a feature on the route that must be navigated to get to the other side. It was built away from the route as that is how caves are now produced. It is a normal cave with coarse dirt walls, floor and ceiling.

Deep inside Tohjo Falls is a broken radio. No idea why.

Tohjo Falls is quite tall as it need to accommodate a waterfall. This will become quite annoying later when the time comes to smooth the exterior to blend into the overworld without comprimising the interior of Tohjo falls too much.

The front wall was quite plain looking so some extra coarse dirt was brushed on to make it more interesting.

With a roof attached you get the mysterious dark glow that caves really require.

Route 26

This route is a north-south route. At the southern end is the route 26/27 intersection and at the northern end is the soon to be constructed Pokemon League reception gate.

The route goes up the side of a mountain. It was constructed in layers to accurately reproduce the route.

Details such as the grass, trees and other vegetation get added as well as buildings.

Once the trees are grown the route can be declared complete.

Part 23: Terrain fill in and finishing touches.

Part 23

Apologies for the late update. Been extremely busy lately.

Johto is now finished so it is time to fill in the surrounding terrain.
Starting in the west the method was place chunks of terrain around the built up areas of the map.

This image was used to form the mountains, river and lakes in Johto.

The chunks of terrain were smoothed out for a more natural look.

Moving south to Azalea town and Ilex forest there is a large expanse of land. It was completely flat which made it easy to complete.

A mix of Oak and Dark Oak trees were planted to blend Ilex forest into the surrounding landscape.

Moving back west to the Safari Zone where the mountains were formed.

Tree planting and growing is a time-consuming process. Until I find a way to grow trees instantly they will be growing naturally.

Heading East it is much the same process as before. Chunks of land that are then smoothed out.

In the northeast quadrant of Johto, there is a mix of mountains and plateaus. More on this area later.

Moving back south again it's just tree growing.

Moving back north (these screenshots are so out of order) near the Lake of Rage. Just more tree growing.

Completed landscape. I couldn't be bothered to take more progress screenshots as they were mostly going to be of the same thing.

Part 21: Route 47 and Route 48

Part 21

Route 47

Route 47 is a route that was introduced with the re-make of the Gold and Silver Pokemon games. It is a coastal route that leads west to the Safari Zone. 

The only way to access route 47 is to ascend through a cave.

The cave to access Route 47 misaligns the route slightly but that is no real issue.

There is a sign along the route to show the direction of the Safari Zone. But when it came to growing the trees it got obscured by a large tree twice. So that meant the tree had be removed and replaced with a smaller tree.

Route 47 done.

Just some terrain work.

Route 48
A small, boring route. It just connects Route 47 to the Safari Zone.

Embedded Tower

The Embedded Tower is a cave within route 47. 

It is a tower, embedded in the land.

The theme inside is sort of an 'ancient' style.

Built into the floor is a Kyogre pattern.
