But without any meaningful code access to upgrade terrain engines or lighting systems, that mostly means spamming set dressing and clutter everywhere. This decouples the player's behavior from their character build. Compare this to the variety of mobs in Doom and Quake maps, with terrain designed first and foremost for the NPCs.
Genshin Impact: miHoYo uses a combination of handcrafted assets and procedural generation to sustain its ever-expanding open-world environment. Procedural Generation By automating terrain, foliage, and props, procedural generation: (i). Enables dynamic world-building with non-repetitive assets.
“What interested us as game makers is the idea of buildingworlds that have depth and substance to them. Where players can navigate the terrain and feel a sense of history beneath their feet.” Sense of history Flynn sheds light on the studio’s design philosophy.
I used GenoTerra to research and reflect about the design process using procedural generation in the creation of base shapes that the designer/s in a studio can use to create a more coherent game world. “OpenWorld Games" have the potential for countless hours of exploration and fun through their huge game worlds.
Problem #1: Excessive Encounter Reuse The world of Z:TotK is immense, which is good. Being able to build a plane and cruise over the enormous landscape is a hoot. If you want to have an enormous openworld, some copy-pasting will be necessary, even for games with huge budgets. This moblin tree fort layout is pretty cool.
However, building a well-optimized multiplayer game comes with several challenges which any Unity game development company worth its weight will know how to overcome. Optimization Strategies: Static Batching unites several stationary game elements into a single GPU drawing operation (such as terrain together with buildings).
Here is another openworld, but if you take a walk around, you see that everywhere is new, different, and above all interesting. The city areas in Far Cry 6 are not exact copies of buildings dropped here and there, but there is so little variety that they may have well been.
As you’ll see, worldbuilding can be done quickly if you leave a bit of time for play and experimentation. We’re in production for a currently untitled game that we plan on building entirely using no-code development tools like Bolt. So I build in play and experimentation into my production schedule.
Here we’re primarily talking about the player revisiting earlier floors on their journey, rather than backtracking within a single map (though I’ll cover that topic a bit separately at the end), and our discussion focuses on roguelikes of the dungeon delving variety, since openworld games generally allow backtracking by default.
I considered a lot of options here, going as far as thinking of building a new generator from scratch (one that would make encounters much easier to implement), but I liked the established and consistent core theme of existing Garrisons and didn’t want to mess with that. Rampant terrain destruction is awesome, by the way ;).
