Dev notes:

 I came up with idea of micro scale cuz i really like crawling in woods (MGS3 fault) and when i crawl, i like how big grasses, flowers and other plants look like. Trees also are nice. Their crowns especially look like clouds. I wanted to create something with this idea and chosen game, cuz its something that i can make. Flying high negates effects of micro scale - since player see things from around same altitude as in real life - so it maybe weird choice to choose flight sim, however i think that it makes sense. Flying low is hard so it makes sense that player should get reward from it. Normally player gets rewards such as: Looking cool, adrenalin from dodging mountains, avoiding enemy radar. In this scenario they get all of it and opportunity to see how beautiful the world in microscale is.

 You can roughly divide biomes in two groups: dense and open. Open with it lack of obstructions allows for more missile-sensor battle, while dense by putting i.e. trees between opponents, would force them to jump straight into dogfight.


Special thanks to:

 Why485, for his amazing Mouse Flight Controller. This controller is open-source, so if you want check it on Why485 github! If you want to play an actual flight game, check Why485 flight sim, Tiny Combat Area. It's a great game that strikes balance between sweaty and arcade.

 LlamAcademy, for his tutorial on Groud Intersection. Great idea with this raycast loop.

 KolosStudios, for many great low poly models. I especialy enjoyed lights on his truck and tank, makes it look cool. Tank: https://poly.pizza/m/egcLMSGiuA Truckk: https://poly.pizza/m/jHwRymyg2C Water Tank: https://poly.pizza/m/8Dl3f4FkCH Container: https://poly.pizza/m/CQMziXZfYh
