Been procedurally generating dungeon layouts. Done room placement so far and next I am going to generate the corridors.

Taken a couple of days off and been thinking. Rather than developing the wilderness first without much functionality. I am going to focus on the dungeons and get them playable followed by the overworld as dungeons are a much smaller module of the project. They also use most of the core features.

I cant wait until the PoEII update tonight!

Walkthrough of 3 biomes in my Daggerfall-like RPG! #indiegamedev #indiegame #Daggerfall #indiedev #solodev #ThrowbackThursday #rpg

Arrived at Chesterwalk without fast travel! #Daggerfall

For now I am going to pause the terrain meshing. Getting a bit burned out from it. Next I am going to implement the inventory.

Been working on fixing the terrain meshing the last few days. Making little progress on it. There are still some seams showing in the terrain. I will fix it eventually.

Slaughter in the tavern! #DwarfFortress

It is sooo warm in the uk rn. All I can do is watch my dwarves do stuff.

Dwarf Fortress is so much fun! starting a new fort #DwarfFortress

Mostly fixed the digging. The meshing looks a bit too much like minecraft now! lol Properly one more day on fixing the terrain meshing then I am going to work on the inventory.

Terrain re-write is almost finished. It broke the digging so I need to fix that.

How it started vs how its going. Re-writing terrain mesh

Progress on the terrain meshing re-write

erm... Re-write the meshing code...

Dug below the grass layer into the stone.

Improved terrain deformation. The terrain is voxel based with a fractional y level for each voxel allowing for small increases in elevation for the height map. #indiegamedev #rpg #indiedev #indiegame #solodev

See that hole! You can climb it!

Stuck in a hole....

Been working on terrain deformation.

Are you ready for an adventure?

The three biomes for the first region in my Daggerfall-like RPG.

Walk through of plains biome with dynamic LODs. #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #FollowFriday #rpg #proceduralgeneration #solodev

Implemented static LODs for my Daggerfall-like RPG. Next onto dynamic LODs! #rpg #indiegamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #FollowFriday

One week till Path of Exile II: Return of the Ancients!!!! Can't wait! #gaming

Been working on LOD terrain to allow you to see far into the distance. #indiegamedev #indiedev #indiegame #rpg #solodev #followfriday

Added pine forests to my Daggerfall-like RPG! #indiegamedev #indiedev #rpg #indiegame #solodev #proceduralgeneration

Re-working world generation to be based on the world map. Removed most of the scenery for now. #indiegamedev #rpg #solodev #indiegame #indiedev #proceduralgeneration

Steep slope bug in the world generation

Added the world map to the game. #indiegamedev #indiegame #rpg #indiedev #dev #solodev

Render of map and elevation map for my Daggerfall-like RPG. #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #rpg #solodev #map

Fixed the mountains for the region map for my Daggerfall-like RPG. Looks good for now. Next step is to load it into the game. #indiegame #indiedev #dev #indiegamedev #rpg #solodev

Ptanadon shaped map region (not dog!!!). The god of the people who live here shaped the region after their own likeness. The Ptanadon god breaths fire hence the islands. Hopefully this looks better than the earlier iteration. #indiegamedev #indiedev #indiegame #dev #rpg #solodev

Dog sighted off the coast! @rpgtowns.bsky.social @azzurrairisleamond.bsky.social

Doggerfall! 🐶🐕

Almost finished the final render of the first region map for my Daggerfall-like RPG. #indiegamedev #indiedev #rpg #indiegame #solodev

Added the first implementation of elevation to the map. The first two images are the inputs and the third is the output.

Latest map with biome bounderies.

I wanna live there :3

Current progress on the world map enhancer for my Daggerfall-like RPG. Added noisy edges to the biome borders. Still some improvement needs to be done. Next is elevation. #indiedev #rpg #indiegamedev #indiegame

Writing a procedural map enhancer (very WIP). The left is the input and the right is the output. The program enlarges the image and smooths out the transitions between biomes. Next is to use noise to make the biome transitions look more natural. Then I am going to add an elevation map.

Writing lore is fun!

With my Daggerfall-like not sure whether I should scrap the procedural map and go with a handcrafted map. Procedural would have more replay ability but less depth in terms of lore. Procedural would also take longer. This is just for the map not the world on the ground which would be procedural.

What a hive of scum and villainy!

Playing Star Wars Galaxies Restoration! Fun so far. @swgrestoration.bsky.social

Tried improving the first person hand. Shrunk down the images and made some minor changes. I am not an artist so this will have to do for now.

bsky.app/profile/azzu... If you see this post your getaway vehicle

Hopeport Game: Brighter Shores Dev: Fen Research 🇬🇧 Release: 6 November 2024 (early access)

tried a first person sword. My apologies to artists everywhere.

Added selection and removal of scenery. Next is putting those items in the inventory hot bar seen at the bottom of the screen. In the future you will need a tool to chop down trees or mine rocks. #indiegamedev #indiedev #rpg #solodev #indiegame
