Скачать или смотреть Procedural Development Update for Planetrism

Two weeks go so fast. Here is some update on how my procedural world generation system works now, after two weeks of development. Still WIP, and I use lots of mock-up models, but my focus is on algorithms and how the system works, visual aspects are not that important at this point.

This is developed first and foremost for Planetrism, but it quite general, and usaful in other games too. For testing purposes I use totally different assets and environment to keep things simple.

Procedural environment, procedural creatures with different behavior, AI and real-time path finding (that does not use nav mesh but analyzes the environment), procedural structures and colonies, ecosystem, resource and food chains etc.

Path finding and movement works on land, on water, under water, underground and in air, so it supports all different movement types (walking, jumping, climbing, swimming, diving and flying), and it work indoors, too. AI is done for general type of creature, and its behavior can be modified with adjustable parameters.

Colony is based on adjustable parameters which determine how many buildings there may be, how it can spread on environment, what kind of interior they have etc. Then it can add pipelines (electric conduits, airpipes etc) between buildings.

Different modules start to "click together". Video was taken as play-in-editor, so real performance is even better. Development done in Unreal Engine 4.22
