History of Rome
This week we continued working on our matchmaking framework and greyboxing Rome. We also spent some time this week confirming the historical accuracy of various locations around Rome that we intend to include. While our version of Rome will be a bit more open with foliage rather than buildings we still want to make sure we have certain historical landmarks around various areas of Rome. We want the player to be immersed in our interpretation of ancient Rome as they travel from one location to another to meet a friend or complete a quest.
