Giving Outlaw-Occupied Towns a New Look
New visual presentation helps distinguish ordinary towns from locations affected by Outlaw activity.
The artwork has always been an important part of Claim the Range's identity.
Rather than presenting every location as a generic map square, we want each significant place to have its own visual character.
This milestone focused on connecting the Outlaw occupation system with the town artwork.
A town can now use alternate visual presentation when it is occupied, making the world reflect its changing state.
We also reviewed the occupied presentation for Cheyenne and completed focused validation of the implementation.
It is a relatively small visual milestone, but it helps connect the game's mechanics with the Western atmosphere we are building.
