Decided to work on something a bit different... procedural map generation. Started with islands, which will be a key component of the bespoke Sailing skill. Features:

• Map seed support
• Varying heights
• Different biomes (water, land, beach currently)
• Biome object placement (trees, shells)
• Clipping
• Minimap updating

Still a significant amount left to do/tweak. Notably, underlays as well as overlay shapes; not sure how to go about the latter at the moment, any insight would be gratefully received!

Could it possibly be a different object type?

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I know how overlay types/shapes work, but connecting the shapes up in such a fashion where it looks realistic is a challenging task:

EDIT -------------------------------

Added underlay support and managed to figure out a fairly decent way to connect the overlay shapes. Still a lot more tweaking to do but the generated islands are looking considerably better already:

Interested to see how your seeds are generated, not the whole process obviously. Just a small portion of where you generate it specifically.

Edit: as for the shaping, I see you already got that down but to my knowledge only certain shapes will ever touch other shapes, if that makes sense. Probably easier to draw than to write in words.

Looking real nice goodjob man

Loving that map generator tool, very interested in seeing where that leads!

looks awesome goodluck

Cant wait

Bump? <3

Projects looking really good. Best of luck with the rest of development!
