Fantastic work! When you get it released I'll test it out, but only beta. Who knows what an Alpha test could do to my computer.

I wish you futher good luck.

What everybody else said, plus this:

I think the street lights should emit a more yellow light. It looks too much like LED street lamps.

But it's amazing. I can't wait for it to be playable.

Now there are four times of day: noon, dusk, night and dawn.

There are different skies for each.. it actually looks remotely realistic!

Next up: More tiles and BUILDINGS!! Mwahahaha

Wow I remember Lego Island. What was the speed... 4 FPS?
And you couldn't walk on the grass. 90% of that game was invisible walls.

"Ah Pepper, I need you to deliver this to the brickster, even though the sign says not to give him pizza."

Good times.

No it was a steady 30 FPS, and it was more like 95% invisible walls.

And don't take the Lego Island as an insult, marshall. That game kicked @$$.

Actually right now it's looking very similar to "Midtown Madness". It's an old PC game, similar to Driver for PS1 except much lighter on the physics and detail. I used to play it all the time.

I didn't like Lego Island, but Lego Island 2 was ok (yes, just ok), which ran at a much steadier better fps (I think

), that game looks quite nice

Alright kids, no sexy screenshots this time. I did get a Geforce 2 GTS card off ebay for $10, but my drivers are screwy so once I get that worked out I can show off some of the building models I've made

This project is not anywhere near dead! That's a good thing.
