In this video, we're finally improving the looks of our little planet.
We will be having a look at foliage, and improve the terrain generation by adding some simple biomes like mountains, forests and oceans!

What I think would really add to this is some sort of continentality. Large scale formations of land and oceans. That'd make it look a lot more natural and also make more easily recognizable and interesting shaped and places. Also adding some more brown might be good! Not every bit of ground is covered in grass, there's dirt everywhere. And it might help shift the color scheme a bit, as it's getting a bit blue-y with all the cool greens. That said, it already is looking great!

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

Yeah I totally agree, it's way too green now😂 I'll have to find a way to add some different color variations, not only along the shoreline. Other biomes will definitely help a lot with the colors tho:)

@loren4u468 Месяц назад

I am in love with this project, it has so much potential

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

Thank you so much!

@Gwilo Месяц назад

this is such a wonderful project! excited for the next changes in the future, such as biomes and beaches! if you ever start working on mobs, might I suggest that they don't spawn randomly and wonder around aimlessly, but spawn in herds, sorta like how your clusters work! then, nearby mobs of the same kind would move together across the map like boids, whereas other predator mobs could hunt solo and break apart the herd!

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

That's a great idea! I thought of maybe spawning them as families🤔 Herds of families maybe👀

@Gwilo Месяц назад

@@emilwalseth not sure if you've ever played Equilinox, but something like that game's implementation could be pretty sick! ie. families with different genetics, which makes different families have different qualities, like sheep having red or pink wool, or maybe some creatures walk faster but eat slower, etc.

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

@@Gwilo yeah🤔 That would definitely be cool, I don't think it will be a priority for now but maybe at some point we should use some simple genetics!

@hamzahawash3063 Месяц назад

nice changes brother , one thing tho , i think lighting could change the apperance really greatly and make it more realistic , you could add some fog , also some moon light , and sun rise and sun set , good luck on your game dev journey :) edit : i just saw a comment telling you about the lighting XD

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

Yeah, an atmosphere is hopefully in works! No idea when it will be implemented but it's definitely on the list! Thanks:D

@LavxaGames Месяц назад

I really like the new style! Good work bro :) the trees are cool, and give a dr Suess look. Ready to see where this ends up

@LavxaGames Месяц назад

Did you have to set perimeters for your objects , such as reeds… to spawn only on the coast line. How do your items match the noise generation.. I would like to add reeds to a procedural world. But like only where land meets water do you have any experience to this?

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

Thank you so much!

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

As long as you have a value for where this happens, such as an Alpha lerp or noise value, then you can use that to check whether or not to spawn the reeds:)

It would be cool if you added caves. I have had a lot of trouble making them procedurally, it is a real challenge.

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

Will definitely get to caves at some point!

@DarkEagle26 Месяц назад

So inspirating Thanks a lot for sharing your journey. If I could say something to help you make better terrain visual, you should change the ground texture based on the slope of the terrain instead of his height (like cliff do in real life) And I think it could be good if there is random terrain color variation as yellow grass, like you did for the shore but the grass.

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

I agree! Should definitely put more time into the colors for the terrain🤔 Thanks! Terrain will probably be under development for a long time, so these kinds of changes are very possible in the future:)

@Lunnos Месяц назад

hi, amazing work already ! I can't wait to see the rest of the devlog, I was wondering if you are using the paid version of the voxel plugin or the free one ? thanks in advance !

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

I'm using the paid one:) 2.0

@keetoeg Месяц назад

Two things, first (this is my opinion) not sure if its already implemented but i prefer first person survival games - more immersive or at least a way to switch between the two. Second (im not a programmer so im not sure what is called, you may already have this too) i believe there is a way to make more realistic generation by layering a more complex noise map over a less complex one (like 3 layers), i think the old minecraft generation used something similar.

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

Definitely adding first person soon:) and yeah! I am layering at least 3 layers of noise currently

@Mittzys Месяц назад

1:33 Me in my head: "He's going to show PrismaticaDev isn't he"

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

😂😂 Oh yes!

@real2late Месяц назад

I feel like your planet could benefit a lot from some more advanced lighting and some more post processing! This could take it from looking great to looking amazing! Also a more advanced sky could change the look drastically

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

Definitely! A better atmosphere and some clouds are in the works, hopefully will be in soon!

@Mittzys Месяц назад

3:08 make it do this if you eat a mushroom (and the animated hue shifting)

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

Maybe I should😂

@sennebruynseels Месяц назад

You should make the gravity stronger, I thing the movement feels a bit "floaty" now.

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

Cool, thanks! I can release a test build at some point to let more people test the movement. Might be good to increase the Gravity strength a bit, yeah 👍

@hogandromgool2062 Месяц назад

Looks really good but I think the trees are a little small. when you jump your character's head is higher than the tallest tree in most scenes.

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

You might be right yeah😂 Could make them a bit bigger

@t-gx1977 Месяц назад

add godrays to the game, some ao and something that indicates there are actually light, because ilumination looks weird

@jaymesthelionboy7156 Месяц назад

can you make the water transparent please cause the water just looks like a solid

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

Yep! Will do, the Voxel Plugin doesn't support transparent materials on their surfaces at the moment but as soon as this this fixed I'll make it transparent and add some extra "water" stuff

@betweentherainsmusic Месяц назад

@ReverseFlash. Месяц назад

i want to ask you what tips should you give to someone thats trying gamedev

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

Definitely find an engine you are comfortable with and just start making alot of concepts! Try to make games that cover a lot of different aspects of game development. This way you learn a lot about your tool while also making interesting new games!

@Mittzys Месяц назад

What are you using for the voxels?

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

The Voxel Plugin:)

@MightyMindsDev Месяц назад

Hello. I added atmosphere and directional lighting. my problem is that the night side is completely dark. could you tell me how to make a beautiful night on the planet? Thank you

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

I am probably going to have a custom atmosphere with some stars and pretty night colors to make the nights less dark:) The unreal Atmosphere is not really great out of the box for planets and nights unfortunately

@MightyMindsDev Месяц назад

How will you do it? I'm currently working in this direction and would love to hear your ideas

@emilwalseth Месяц назад

@@MightyMindsDev I am in contact with a potential partner who is a tech artist. I believe he will use a lot of shader code/HLSL but I'm not as familiar with that area of game dev yet unfortunately

@MightyMindsDev Месяц назад

I still have a question. You know how to save level destruction that was created during the game. So that when you log into the game again you can see a map with destruction And then at any moment return to the original whole level?
