Top Down Forest Prototype

First attempt at creating a procedurally generated world. Not enough rules in place in my opinion to make a compelling world but it was still interesting nonetheless to allow users to enter in new seeds to differentiate their worlds.

Utilized the TMC Lux Lighting Engine (incredibly taxing) and was also my first exploration into lighting and shaders. Spent a lot of time getting the different lightmaps together (Normal, Specular, Occlusion) Utilized the engine to create a day and night cycle that I built. Heavy limitations with the shaders when making a day and night cycle; was unable to make it dark enough to make lighting necessary as the color values would eventually flip (reach their lowest value and jump back to highest). Ultimately the lighting engine while fun to play with was too performance heavy.

Had more designs for this game on base building and nightly zombie attacks but it was too early into my initial learning of development to be feasible. Currently the game will just create a world, cycle quickly through day and night cycle, and you can walk around and nothing more.
