Hi TonyLi welcome to Tigs Board, I'll soon buy and experiment with your asset and implement idea I had! Continue the good work!

Thanks! I've kept an eye on the forums for a while but haven't had time to post anything. (Busy programming Quest Machine! ) The demo scene artwork was done by an artist I hired from the Portfolio forum about a year ago.

I'm trying to generate some continents, one or two thousand km on a side, for a top-down flight sim. The current system generates a plausible original shape using perlin noise, adapted to give some discontinuities (faults and rifts) and some remains of old mountains. Then I run several million years of fluvial erosion and mountain growth.

You can try the current version: https://dood.al/test/surface_transport.html

WOW. That looks fantastic. I wonder how useful something like that would be for other types of games, like open world games? Obviously all the secondary systems for such a thing would still take significant effort, but one can dream.

Customized robot-frogs height map algorithm and added some stuff  

Wow, this is incredible. I'm currently working on starting a tabletop RPG based on the Myst games, and as such I will need to generate a shit-ton of islands like this. Would you be able to do some sort of tutorial for it? Also did you make this is GML? Fantastic thread man.

(Guess I'm slightly necroing this thread, fun topic though!)

As a dev I really like the idea of my game being able to suprise me, so I keep playing with procedural level generation.



This basically just slaps a bunch of predefined rooms and corridors together in ever-branching paths.  Of course you can see the repitition cause there's only like 8 pieces so far, and it doesn't connect back on itself (yet!!), but  I like how this can build multi-level structures. 

My last generator was able to loop back on itself, but it was a perfectly flat single level, and the room were only different in terms of being 2x2 instead of 3x5 or whatever.  Not bad, but I like how much room this gives me to hand-craft stuff, while still keeping players on their toes and keeping them from just memorizing their way to mastery.

I'll necro this as well. Love proc gens. And being aweful as an artist, I made a routine which draw me a lot of space ships



I can even make them in different sizes

Looking good!  I can see it now that I'm looking for it, but I wouldn't have realized they were generated otherwise.  That must be a lot of different spaceship parts!

Actually, not that many
