It's interesting that when you become an expert on something, you're not sparing any effort to see how something works, but rather you're focusing on creating something. And so everything becomes easier.

At this point of learning there is a glimpse of a low idea of creating a game, but the secret of all this is to keep it simple and to be very clear that a game is a game, and not an exact simulation of the real world. For example anyone who has a low idea of the red planet, will understand no matter the colors of the scene that is a terrain of Mars, even if it is not very real what is transmitted, a game, that's just it.

At this point I already have an astronaut character who runs from one place to another on a very large 4096 x 4046 terrain that would surely take a long walk. My previous prototype projects involve a vehicle, but I didn't get the best implementation prospect in that time and I always found performance problems in my machine, something that isn't happening with the character controller for a third person player.

As always, I think I'm a scavenger looking for game resources, that's where this community exposes links to websites with interesting hd textures, and one or another model searched on the net, but what I've greatly improved is learning to write code, I have a better workflow, writing Lua code focused on the paradigm of object programming.

Something interesting is the system of putting rocks, all very nice from the point of implementing them. And it works very well with the character controller if you put collision in cube form.

I've been thinking about implementing a car system, I think it would be necessary in such a large terrain, but I think it's not the time, my previous experience, involves deterioration in performance and something I think is the physics of the car with respect to the terrain and rocks that in the previous project involve deterioration in the fps. Although if you implement a car would have an option would be to remove the rocks, but I prefer not to have a car and if you have rocks.
