such a pleasure to have you join us, thank you. we're so excited for the big conference oct 25-26 celebrating ten years!

I'm speaking about Synergy Networks in Roguelike Deckbuilders at @roguelike.club later today! 7pm EST. Tickets are free: ti.to/roguelike-ce... See you there! (In the very cool conference MUD they've got set up)

Almost appreciating JavaScript lately. #recreationalprogramming #gamedev

I should really do something with my Procedural Bluray generator i made in #UnrealEngine years ago, love those randomised titles #GameDev #PhysicalMedia

The little cat steps on the wizard's stomach, waking him up. He goes to make waffles with pomegranate compote and put some fish out for the little cat. As he makes tea, the air fills with the smell of clementine. After breakfast, he unpacks his reagent delivery and puts the new reagents away.

I like this musical visualization/auralization of Conway's game of life: www.hudsong.dev/digital-darwin Designing good generative audio often is trickier than generative visuals, at least in my experience: even intense visual dissonance isn't as unpleasant for me as the worst noise glitches.

The wizard is snuggled into his bed, reading a book about jellyfish. The little cat is curled up above his head, on the pillow.

More on procgen texture using fractal Worley. The "parameter" texture channels are : R: Octaves/Detail, G: Distance easing, B: Distance maxing (round contour vs. straight line poly). Here, detail changed dynamically, easing on Y axis, contour on X axis. #Godot #glsl #gamedev #procgen

Join us for: - a peek at the 2025 Roguelike Celebration social space - a fireside chat with @perryjon.bsky.social about design & proc gen in UFO 50 - @apepers.bsky.social talking about Designing for Systems Suspense - @ezra-szanton.itch.io talking about Synergy Webs in Roguelike Deckbuilders

We have a preview event on September 7, 2025 at 3 PM Pacific! Tickets are free here: ti.to/roguelike-ce...

The Roguelike Celebration Preview Event is this Sunday at 3PM PST, with special guests: UFO50's @perryjon.bsky.social talking game design @ezra-szanton.itch.io talking synergy in deckbuilders @apepers.bsky.social talking design for suspense And come explore our MUD's dazzling, delightful circus!

I made this flocking sim test while deciding how to teach my upcoming particle tutorial series #b3d #blender #geometrynodes youtube.com/shorts/w-H13...

Poisson disk sampling constrained to another Poisson disk sampling. Valid positions for the large dots are constrained to positions from the small dots. #gamedev #indiedev #procedural #computationalgeometry #algorithms

Working on the world map for Prelude to the Deep. The procgen uses warped simplex noise to create organic continents and coastlines, then simulates a climate by using a Whittaker biome model to realistically place environments from deserts to rainforests and more #proceduralgeneration #roguelike

Experimenting with slope-based forest density and I can't believe how realistic is starts to look. I mean, I'm pretty sure I've seen exactly this on google maps... #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Great stream today, noodling with floor pattern generation. A few friendly faces in the chat, with some thought provoking questions. We touched on the "randomness vs richness" aspect of procedural generation. Subscribe/video links in replies. #ProcGen #UnrealEngine #GameDev #Apparance

The wizard sleeps tranquilly. Something very large flies over the tower, casting it briefly in shadow.

Finally made the camera aware of the new lazy procedural chunked terrain (previously it always pointed at Z=0), meaning I can now record even cooler shots for you 🥰 #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

The wizard makes smoked tofu with cumin rosemary and potatoes.

Hello everyone who found us through this starter pack recently 👋 We're a Hungarian demogroup and we've been making 64 kilobyte intros for 20+ years now, using our own procedural tooling that looks/looked like this 👇

It has been a super busy week, but I managed to get back to my root-vine generator, optimize it a little bit more and adjust it so that I can use the Labs Tree Leaf Generator. #houdini #vex #environment #3d #procedural

The AI Settlement Generation Challenge in Minecraft has concluded for 2025 - and after a round of human judging - we are now ready to announce the winners. You can watch the results live at 15:00 UK time, on the 30th of Aug, 2025. youtu.be/owJC8QqHDTA?...

AAAAAAAHHHHHHH

#p5js #creativecoding

More progress on the building builder. A lot more control and scalability. The meshes are coming from a single PackedScene. Using strings to assign meshes and variants. #GodotEngine

Introducing "Dot Noise". This is a super lightweight alternative to 3D Simplex Noise, which in many cases is overkill shadertoy.com/view/wfsyRX

9.5” WIP generative sculpture. Lots of print quality issues to figure out here. Made with JavaScript, WebGL, fusion, and Bambu.

Found some river generation junk I forgot to share. Starts at the highest point on the map, then marches down looking for steepest declines. If it falls into a pit before reaching the ocean, it'll fill-search radial points until it finds the next lowest point out of the pit, then resumes path march.

The wizard's pajama robes are set on a little table next to the bathtub. He carefully steps into the bath. It is just the right temperature and the bubbles smell of lime.

I made a configurable multi-plot utility Shadertoy www.shadertoy.com/view/WclyzB For the erosion video I'm working on, I want to show some function graph synced with erosion parameter changes. I wasn't happy with the existing function plotting examples I could find, so made my own here.

I love blog posts like this that break down all of the little details of how a generator works. muffinman.io/blog/invaders/

"Wired" vec3 c,p;for(float i,z,f;i++<4e1;p=mix(c,p,.3),z+=f=.2*abs(dot(cos(p),sin(p.yzx/.6))+abs(p.y)-3.),o+=(cos(z+vec4(6,1,2,0))+2.)/f/z)for(c=p=z*normalize(FC.rgb*2.-r.xyy),p.z-=t,c=p,f=.3;f++<5.;p+=cos(p.yzx*f+i/.4)/f);o=tanh(o/8e2);

Interactive generative typography. All vector, no textures, for extra crispness. In the second part of the video I toggle some debug views so you can see what's going on under the hood.

"Falls" vec3 x,c,p;x.x+=9.; for(float i,z,f;i++<5e1;p=mix(c,p,.3),z+=f=.2*(abs(p.z+p.x+16.+tanh(p.y)/.1)+sin(p.x-p.z+t+t)+1.),o+=(cos(p.x*.2+f+vec4(6,1,2,0))+2.)/f/z) for(c=p=z*normalize(FC.rgb*2.-r.xyy),p.y*=f=.3;f++<5.;p+=cos(p.yzx*f+i+z+x*t)/f); o=tanh(o/3e1);

Working on a Tiny City Generator based on a single geo-nodes setup + material. The layout of the city is based on a grid and several noise- and gradient textures (within the node group). So no external weight maps or vertex paint. Work in progress... #blender #blender3d #b3d #geonodes #tinycity

The wizard looks through a aura manipulation book trying to find a section he's sure he remembered.

Last one. I think I have reached the limits of this toy language. I should add a `sort` function to the language to draw the faces in the correct order, but I think more and more about completely rethinking the language and the environment.

The wizard reaches for a lock on his desk drawer, but his hand trembles and he relocks it, leaving its contents untouched and untested. He tries to calm himself down with deep breathing and the little cat jumps into his lap and butts its head into his sternum.

I’d make the case that Caves of Qud is one of the standout works of SF in the 21st century thus far. It’s taken over a decade; it’s sprawling; it has its own idiosyncratic but consistent epistemologies that are only learnable by fucking around. So to see it recognized by the field is so validating.
