| The below information is what needs to be done before Darnetha can be released. Anything marked in red, aside from "ALL" and "Startup" and "-- Done"means a test release. All things before a red line need to be completed before that red line can be achieved, thus, I will not skip ahead to release a landscape test without first texturing the land, for example. Without further ado:
Startup
- Make Darnetha Terrain Map -- Done
- Raise all the necessary land above sea level -- Done
- Sculpt the coastline -- Done
- Sculpt the interior land -- Done
- Texture all the land
- Add trees
- Add other statics [flora, fauna, rocks and such]
- Make finishing touches
- Gather willing landscape testers
