this week's update has limited visual improvment, have been playing with emulating barrel distortion in the vertex shader (slight radial scale on vertex)
the intent is that with a more detailed world the effect should be more noticable, however only halfway through the save/ load code for the world system/ geometry ect.
intend to get a world loading before next weeks update.

his calling card will be a magic trick, a tarot card or rabbit or something.
and i will take reference from moulin rouge and carnivale
his suit will be a latex/ modern batmanish material but will draw from the genres mentioned.. ie.. will probably be purple pinstriped... with 1890's vest or something
he will probably have flaming red hair which curls around on…
I've finally got a concept, still ironing it out but the gist of it is:
My villain was a cyclist, obsessed with performance and will do anything that will give him the edge. He was very frail as a child and was looked down upon by the other kids. Now the tables have turned and his hate makes him strong. That and the drugs, witch are the reason he doesn't compete anymore, having been banned for life by the Anti Doping Committee. In his quest for performance he has succumbed to performance…
