Simple, but very effective. I'd agree you have much more of a sense of an invisible roof than in previous screenshots.

Nice work on the navigation mesh stuff below BTW. Haven't caught up on this journal for a while. I'm toying with the idea of a Neverwinter style RPG (in terms of graphical view) as a future project and your posts on navigation meshes were very informative.

I like that it really enforces the impression that there's a ceiling but I don't think it looks that good, I can't quite put my finger on it but I find the contrast is a bit too harsh. I don't know if there's a middle ground (like using the same color as your wall but make it much darker and don't let lighting sources affect its brightness)... Just my 2c :)

Good work though, I can't wait to see this in action.

Personally I like it, coloring the top part has a tendency of making it look like a little playhouse, like you're peeking up the top, while black is pretty discreet and can be interpreted as a shadow.

The screenshot looks so cool! You really have to inject some simple gameplay there and release a very very early alpha :)

Thanks for the comments!

Aardvajk, glad you found it informative. I have been thinking about writing a small article on the subject, just.. when will I find the time?! =)

Gazillion, Yes it does have a bit of a contrast now that you mention it, I see it too. There will be a darker color at the tops just remains to see how it will look with the final graphics. This can be adjusted as time go by.

Jotaf, thanks for the support. I am aiming to have an episode system in the game. The first episode will be free to download and try.
