Trying to generate an entire city. Maybe more.
Writing my own engine because I'm an idiot.

I finally have a particle system that can be hot-reloaded. Much easier to iterate and test now.

Anyway, here are some flammen being werferred.
I'm surprised at the result, the base sprite is literally a few white circles slapped together.

Oh hey you can add videos now.
Here, have a moving floor using the Floret Pentagonal Tiling.
I find it slightly mesmerizing.

Got the street segments and sidewalks to generate meshes using Bezier curves. The road now looks much smoother when elevation changes. Like you could actually drive on it.

A 3D rendering of a 4-way crossroad using smooth bezier curves to generate the meshes.

Procedural city generation, once again!
It's about assigning zone types to every block in our newly generated city road network.

City generation now lives on another thread so I can move around while they are being created. The two cities are 30km apart.
Second article on city generation should drop soon-ish on zero.re/worldsmith
Like, next week or something.

Procedural city generation progress : multithreading
The city generation algorithm has been successfully offloaded to another thread, so now I can just move around while buildings and roads are being created in real time
