Rune Skovbo JohansenI finally managed to apply the erosion filter to my game's terrain.1st image is without erosion.2nd image is applying erosion naively. The high-frequency details confuse the erosion filter and creates lots of little spikes.3rd image is applying the erosion to low frequency parts of the terrain only, and adding the high frequency details afterwards. Plus some parameter tweaks to make peaks less sharp and add a third erosion octave.<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/ProcGen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ProcGen</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GameDev</a>

Rune Skovbo JohansenThe terrain above is based on an erosion noise implemented by clayjohn and Fewes in this Shadertoy: <a href="https://www.shadertoy.com/view/7ljcRW" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.shadertoy.com/view/7ljcRW</a>It's really impressive, more people doing terrain generation should know about it! <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/ProcGen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ProcGen</a>

Rune Skovbo JohansenI learned of a cool erosion noise function from 2023 (link in reply) and wondered how it would feel in my game. First impressions:1) It's fast for erosion, but quite slow for a noise function. 2) It looks nice from afar but doesn't make environments more satisfying to explore.But I've only scratched the surface of how it could be tweaked. <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GameDev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/ProcGen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ProcGen</a>

Blake PattersonNo Man's Sky Beacon, the game's 48th major (and free) update, landed this week, bringing a major overhaul to its city building mechanics and also bringing the Nintendo Switch 2 version which is leaps and bounds beyond the original Switch's impressive but limited release. The Switch 2 version is a free update for owners of the original Switch version. Here is a deep dive into what went into the Switch 2 version from Hello Games chief Sean Murray:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgYYQwHuh-Y" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgYYQwHuh-Y</a>(No Man's Sky is also on sale now for all platforms - 60% off @ $23.99) <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/NoMansSky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NoMansSky</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/NoMansSkyBeacon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NoMansSkyBeacon</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/game" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#game</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/games" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#games</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gaming</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/gamers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gamers</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Nintendo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Nintendo</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/NintendoSwitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NintendoSwitch</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/NintendoSwitch2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NintendoSwitch2</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Switch2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Switch2</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SciFi</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/spacegames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#spacegames</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/procgen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#procgen</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/sale" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sale</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Steam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Steam</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/crossplay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#crossplay</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/video" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#video</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YouTube</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/HelloGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HelloGames</a>

Nathalie Lawhead (alienmelon)I've been polishing the level bounds today. i wanted to do that trick where you prevent your PCG system's foliage from "growing" on steep edges, and it was so easy to figure out! so i decided to fill those empty spaces with dandelion seeds... omg isn't it perfect? it looks like these fuzzy spores just kind of gathered at the base of cliffs, and stayed there. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GameDev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GameArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GameArt</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IndieDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndieDev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IndieGameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndieGameDev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Procgen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Procgen</a>
