First game questions

Hello,

I’ve done some tutorial for my first game and I’m now ready to start.
I learned the bases on EVAC-City tutorial wich is so great. I’d like to create such game but in 3D instead of 2D.
I’ve a few questions related to mobile devices (I’d like to do it in Android first then maybe also on Iphone).

I’d like to create a top-down game like Reckless Racing game but a little bit smaller (camera will be further):

Terrain will be huge (3km * 3km) for each level, with if possible trees and small towns.

  1. As I’ve seen, Terrain isn’t supported by mobile devices. Should I do it with Blender and import it ?
  2. Can I use trees and plants in free assets ?

bonus question: since the play terrain will be so huge, how can I import parts of it at runtime ? I may cut terrain in smaller parts and load/unload the terrain during the game. Is it a good idea ?

Thanks for helping.

Its so silly that they say Terrain doesnt work.
On my Galaxy S it works fine and you dont have to cut the terrain in piexes because,the Terrain Engine has automatically LOD Support.
But please,lightmap the terrain,its better for performance.

Hello Yannic,

thank you for your answer. Just to get an idea, how big is your terrain (let say in pixels). Maybe you can tell me how many vertices does you terrain have ?
Also how big is your terrain image map ?
Do you have an example for let me see the result ?

Thank you.
