GenoTerra - The finished prototype.

Mnenad

Prototype is ready! But I can now proudly announce that a playable prototype for the video game GenoTerra is finished (and I graduated with the Master in Design *yay*). But before I explain the narration, I want to jump back in time when I started building the endless terrain generator. Master in Integrative Design.

Mnenad

This chapter is all about how I solved it (so far) to be able to place all kinds of assets like 3D-meshes or self-growing fractal seeds on the terrain. What Sebastian Lague did to work-around it when generating new terrain chunks on runtime is to use multithreading. Before we start. Freezing is simply annoying and kills the flow.

RP4K Teacher Profiles: Gabriel Dibenedetto

Real Programming

Gabe develops models of worlds powered by the coding language C++ to test and simulate how rugged electric vehicles would handle the terrain. Imagine, car companies can do preliminary tests to measure how a new vehicle concept will perform even before building a prototype! The vehicles he programs also operate under the same rules.

new Quake map: Breakfast Under The Balloons

Radiator Blog

I liked the idea of climbing / descending a big weird tree, and building it in Quake would be a big challenge, so that's what I prototyped first. This early prototype felt weird to play, because the player could just run around the big open landscape and lead monsters on a big chase.

Godot Showcase - Lumencraft developer talks about his experience

Mircosoft Game Dev

We knew that we needed custom modifications for destructible terrain, dynamic lightning, and support for thousands of swarm monsters. Paweł and I are teaching classes on simulations and game dev that are heavily based on Godot Engine mostly due to Godot being perfect for fast prototyping. Why did you choose Godot for your project?
