As I promised in early development stages, source code of OpenStreetMap-based 3D world has been released under free license. It's designed for mass planet processing, but can be useful for developers. Proceed to Github: https://github.com/romanshuvalov/rsgeotools

Unfortunately, in-game map editor is often used for entering unrealistic parameter values. Now, by default, values are filtered, and there is an option in settings menu to disable this feature.

An exporter tool has been added. You can choose any area and save generated 3D geometry to .ply or .obj files.

Generation Streets is finally released. Game is now free to play. In free version of the game, only limited territories are available to load. To get access to rest of the planet, see DLC Global Access. If you already purchased the game, nothing changed for you, you automatically became owner of DLC.

This month Generation Streets will be finally released. Also, monetization model will be changed. The game will become free with ability to load only limited territory of the map. Rest of the world map will be available via DLC. If you already purchased the game, nothing will change for you, you will automatically become owner of DLC. If you're planing to purchase the game, you probably may want to wait until it will be released, get it for free and purchase DLC later, if needed. Estimated price of DLC may slightly higher from current price of the game.

- previous locations is now correctly shown on map; - stats localization fixes; - defended bases are now saved; - small changes related to achievements.

List of changes:

• detailed rural areas;
• performance issues fix, reduced video memory fragmentation;
• by popular demand, a compass has been added;
• surprisingly: Linux version.

Detailed rural areas, performance optimizations, reduced memory usage and gameplay changes. Coming January 2020.

Couple months of development suddendly stretched to almost a year. I do apologize for this huge delay. Major update has been released:

• Increased level of details;
• Added new visual style, 'Nuclear Winter';
• Changed gameplay process, old version is still available in settings menu;
• Added map editor for editing building parameters such as type, height and color;
• Improved forest rendering performance;
• Optimized geodata format. Depending on territory, it can save up to 20% of disk space. This change will be applied on next geodata update.
• Reworked sound design, added soundtrack;
• Added automatically shown street names (this feature can be disabled in settings menu);
• Fixed unability to use SSAO shadows.

Trying to develop several projects simultaneously multiplied by bad time management broke all reasonable deadlines. But the game is not abandoned.

Big update is coming.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed jerky physics movements (experimental, please use --physics-step-v1 launch option to revert this change);
• Fixed mouse sensivity option applied only after restart;
• Fixed unability to operate the map on extremely high frame rates (>1000 fps), usually happen because of VSync turned off.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed 'frozen frame from last game' when starting a new game;
• Fixed huge performance drop after a long flight;
• Number of enemies is now limited in order to reduce performance issues;
• Other non-critical bug fixes.

• Tagged roofs is now rendered as a cone/pyramid; OSM tag 'roof:shape' is not used yet, other roof shapes and parameters will be implemented in further updates;
• Road lanes count is now limited to prevent possible errors on the map;
• Vertical position of the bridges is now calculated more precisely.

• Added auto-pause on Alt+Tab and on any other cases when window loses focus;
• Data downloader is now utilizes libcurl for HTTPS support.
