@gapaldur said in Just a few questions.:
Were certain parts of the map influenced by real life?
This one is simple to answer. No artist is creating something from nothing.
Every artist is using his imagination, and his imagination has grown through his life from many experiences gotten from real life.
So indirectly, all artist works are influenced by real life.
Now you could say that Fractured terrain is created by procedural generation, so this part of creation is separated from artists direct work. However, artists still created the underlying engine, and they are doing tweaks to maps after it's been generated.
So answer to your question is still yes. Even if devs didn't outright copy real word terrains into Fractured, parts of map (and all other art work) is influenced by real life up to an extent.
