Week 131# - World Update, The Beach! [1/3]

Hey! Hello again everyone, new month, new ANLIS update.
And I'm sure you'll like it a lot, especially considering that it's summer and the heat is beginning to be noticeable.

Today I bring you a new area in Sunnyvalley, we are talking about the beach. To access it is simple, I leave you an image with instructions here:

As you can see, the beach, or to be exact the beach parking lot, is on the right side of the city, below.

In the parking lot you can find a quiet area, mostly wooded, with vegetation and several places to leave the car, some areas for electric cars and a bus stop.

The bus stops are not currently functional although I plan to add them at the end of the year, probably in November.

An interesting feature of this area is that since it is the beach parking lot, at night or if it is raining it will be empty, you will not see parked cars. Discounting Mrs. Alice who lives in her caravan there and another car.

If we follow the dirt road down in the parking area, we will finally reach the beach.

The beach is a huge area that we can visit at any time of the day, however if we visit it at night or when it is raining it will be empty, we will not be able to see anyone, the sand castles will be destroyed and the umbrellas collected.

On the beach we can see several areas, on the left we have a lot of plants and a food stand that is still not functional. Along the coast we will see many people bathing or enjoying the waves and good weather. In the center of the area we have a site where they are building area castles and a volleyball court. And finally on the left we have a stage for a DJ and the port, where there are several docked boats and some fishermen.

To give atmosphere and good vibes, I have worked on incorporating a multitude of animations, both to the waves of the sea, the boats on the dock or the waves hitting the rocks or the buoys moving with the water.

In addition to animations (which, believe me, has been a lot of work) I have incorporated music for the beach area, specifically we have 12 new songs just for the beach, 3 play in the morning, 4 at noon, 2 in the afternoon and 3 at the night. These songs, as you already know, are played in a loop and randomly within their time slots.

And of course the waves have sound, as you get closer to the sea you will be able to hear them louder.

Oh and I forgot to mention that there are 5 NPCs in the parking lot and 24 NPCs on the beach that you can talk to and they will tell you things about their lives.

I hope you enjoy this update and even more importantly, that you enjoy the summer!
