Dev Log: Procedural Village Generation

Procedural generation can take many forms. In Skyclimbers, every aspect of the environment is procedurally generated -- including villages.

• Villages will spawn along roads, and always include three types of buildings.
• At the center of every village is a town hall, followed by a surrounding ring of middle class.
• On the exterior ring of the seed, farm houses and fertile land spawns.

• Domestic Sentius will spawn near villages, in the farm lands.
• These include bovine or sheep like Sentius, they are always Neutra type.
• Sentius inside the village belong to villagers, but you can inherit them through ownership of the village.

• Houses are designated to each tier of the village, and will spawn villagers with roles respective to the building.
• Farmers spawn at the edge, while shop keeps and smiths spawn in the middle.
• Later versions will randomize houses within each tier, along with the town hall.

• Villages will spawn naturally along the landscape, but wild Sentius keep their distance.
• You can find villages in any biome, with be local dynasty-based variations.
• Village generation will override terrain and flatten it within a radius.

Some features we plan to improve in future versions:

• Texture spawn rules
• Terrain flattening near buildings
• Asset proximity
• Slope rulesets
• Building variation

Until next time, thank you for your continued support as we get closer to the Alpha release. 🤝
