Procedural system (work in progress)
Endless worlds, endless dungeons, all connected , created on demand, connected and pinned to the story world.
Totaly flexible, random, every game/every new game start, not story based location generated on random basis.

You should have a look at your shadow rendering. In the real world overlapping shadows from a single light source do not show different shadings. It's always one shading for the whole overlap. So you may have to use a dedicated shadow layer where all shadows are being merged together with everything having the same dark color and then it can be applied to the map with one transparency value at once.

Thank you for your support and input. Yes the problem with the shadows is because of the object based rendering, I will have to find a method for the shadow system....

could not stopp thinking about it, and so, "SHADOW BROKER SHADOW BAKERY" is new part of my gameengine,
this is still an early "plug in", it does some flickering if area is streamed for the first time, the shadow layer is created in realtime (engine is based on map/object streaming) so I had to find a way to get and "inject" the shadow data. (modular code is king...)
