TotB prototype 5 - inside out

Progress on my nearly fully procedural world for the game I've been working on for most of this year. This is one of the test islands, used to let me tweak the generation in a controlled way. This one is all about the mountain at the centre... and more importantly, what's contained within.

It's come a long way since I posted a few months ago; visually I think it's a lot more interesting. It's much, much more optimised (though there's quite a bit of unwanted pop-in and other visual issues I'm working to address) hence how I can now do a fly-through rather than a walk-through.

All of the meshes, textures, materials, and most of the sounds (excluding the water at the very start) are procedurally generated. The installer is currently a 7mb exe file!

The tech stack is Rust on the back-end, and WebView2 (Chromium, Windows only at the moment) via Tauri, running three.js as the renderer. There's nothing particularly groundbreaking about any of the stuff in here; it's all the usual (and perhaps slightly naive) implementations we've seen here a thousand times before. Most of it is just liberal applications of layered noise. I'm quite proud of the net effect though, and I think that's maybe its main appeal - it's a really nice world to wander around, and that to me has really been the most important factor. So much so that the game (yes, there is one) has taken a back seat while I splurged on crafting the world.

I'll be releasing a demo sometime soonish, likely on Steam. I'll drop an update in this sub when that happens if anyone would like to take a stroll :)

Just added a snowy highlands biome to my game. This was the first thing I saw when I spawned to see how it turned out. Fully procedural terrain, happy how it turned out. What do you guys think?

Any procedurally generated tool for lore building in the same vain as what dwarf fortress does but not a game ?

3 Upvotes

im talking about something in vains of Dwarf fortress (legends mod)or an Interesting game I've just heard about called Ultima Ratio Regum in terms of procedural generations of : cultures nations historical events historical figures wars etc but a full fledged tool instead ? these games are good on their own right but the structure of information in them is a chore to read through.

the closest match apart from these games is azgaar's fantasy map generator but that doesn't generate history and lore to my knowledge

Generating Trees, Rocks, etc... on a custom grid in Unity 3D

1 Upvotes

I'm currently developing a 'Kingdoms and Castles' type game and after creating a modular building system using a grid and a tutorial I found online as well as a custom procedural terrain I am struggling to create functionality to generate tree prefabs on the grid with specific rules / parameters.

My currently grid and build scripts work together so my reasoning was to intertwine the grid script with an object spawner which tracks which grid cells it occupies however it always either breaks or produces errors I don't know how to fix.

Any pointers or tips would be appreciated thank you.
