Ever since the Iron Naval Battle game project started, I've been thinking about how the island battle scene in World of Warships is done. As an indie game developer, I'm familiar with coding but not art. I tried to make an island with Unity Terrain, but it looks ugly in the scene.

I watched a lot of youtube gameplay videos about WOW, and I guess they probably use meshes (3D models) and billboards to make their islands. If the camera is far from the island, the island will appear as a billboard. If the camera is off, switch to the 3D model.

I'm not very familiar with fine art, making 3D models and billboards was difficult for me. I tried to make an island using Unity Terrain and some big rocks. It looks pretty good.

I believe our sea battle game can surprise your fans in the future. Stay tuned for this project.
