Status Report - HERO: Week of 03.23

This week's work continued implementing infrastructure that adds detail and character to the environment. More utility poles were added and a couple roads were revised, but the bulk of the work focused on various signs spread out across the landscape. Road hazards and crosswalks, speed limits and height restrictions, these and more have been placed on the major roads and will be added to minor roads next. This'll take some time, there are about thirty miles of road to do, after all.

Having viewed some helpful scenes in various anime this week, I'm going to be making some slight modifications to how the walls enclosing individual lots work. Houses built on steep slopes require earthmoving to regrade the land so it can accommodate horizontal structure alongside oblique roads.

This coming week I will be continuing along the current trajectory, adding more infrastructure details like vending machines and trash receptacles as I declared last week.
