I believe that is Seret. Very Happy

The MUDPIE/DIRT prototype neighborhood we've all seen in the teaser for URU. Wink

That does look like the early DIRT / MUDPIE city (which I would love to see released like the early Plasma demo). However, Seret was actually the name given to the second neighborhood in Parable / Uru, the first being Bevin. Bevin and Seret had slight variations of the same neighborhood design. Eventually, those variables became randomized upon neighborhood creation (as seen today).

@T-Squared: That's definitely not Seret. =)

Seret was based on the nb01 Hood style, and was from Choru, not MUDPIE/DIRT. =)

All the options we can reasonably attribute to Seret are still available in Uru, though some of them just aren't randomised in MO:ULagain. (For example, Seret had no waterfall - this option is still in the SDL for the Hoods, but not randomised on creation =) )

This is essentially a video of a walk-around of what about a month of talking to those who were actually there revealed of the settings of Seret. RAWA himself did not remember, sadly.

I've believe, however, that like Kirel (originally an nb01-style hood) Seret was to get a new layout and new colours if it were released fully. =)

EDIT: Before I forget, the framerate on that video is /terrible/, recording in some versions of Uru murders my framerate, sadly. :<

Maybe offtopic, but has anyone played Darwinia? Very similar pictures.

This is not meant to advertise other games. It's just the first thing i remembered when i saw the pictures.

Things that can be built, will be built, and should be played in.

and then when they make something new, we will go there and many of us will be confused for hours, days, weeks, and others will solve it in minutes and we will be like "the heek?"
