When generating large procedural worlds, placing objects believably is harder than it looks. Trees shouldn’t overlap. Rocks shouldn’t clump unnaturally. Buildings need breathing room. And ideally, all of this should be controllable, performant, and compatible with procedural gene
One of the challenges I’ve been thinking about a lot while working on Infinicity is animation. I wanted characters that feel hand-animated and expressive but without relying on huge animation budgets or locking myself into a very rigid art style. I also wanted a workflow that let
I’ve added a new feature that lets players tweak the mountain noise layers in real-time. Previously, the terrain was generated using layers of noise with fixed frequency and amplitude. Now players can adjust these parameters to shape the mountains exactly how they like whether th
Tile Caching = 159x Faster City Streaming Today I want to share a technical update rather than a visual one but it’s a huge boost for performance. My game uses procedural city tiles. Generating a full city tile costs around 1 millisecond . When the player is flying fast over the
I've been adding in modding support and wanted to share its progress. The modding feature allows a player to direct the 3D procedural generation (biome layout, enemies, objectives etc) by way of a simple 2D map editor. The map editor enables hassle free, quick and easy creation o
I've been trying to generate gameplay (that's ideally fun) procedurally. An initial idea was to set up an NP hard problem or two around the player (i.e. the knapsack problem and the travelling salesman problem) albeit within the context of the game's theme and then leave them to
I recently ramped up the level of procedural tree foliage and wanted to briefly post about it. I chose to generate the trees myself and spent some time thinking about how to do that. I didn't look at any other implementations but rather tried to imagine the simplest approach I co
This is my first dev diary post. I'm hoping to do this on a semi-regular basis. Over the last few weeks I've been working on the targeting system. This game is built using my own engine so it was a case of experimenting, failing and then finally settling on a simple and extensibl
