Curved Terrain test

Since posting the new logo it hads been suggested that 

maybe the terrain sould curve a little as it does in the Font of the logo.

Here's the resulting test run using the cave palette scene.

Woohoo! Got my hands on the editor for the first time today. I can only create verts and polygons at the moment but its all exciting stuff.

I'm still a little unsure how I'll be visualising the story / cutscenes in Bort. At the moment i'm thinking it'll probably be in the form of an animated comic using the vector style of the game for the intro. With similar comic spread images for key events i.e Boss fights and the 7 Sins, etc.
