game designer at a AA studio · building worldbuilding tools (Kitbuilder for Blender, voxel terrain in Unreal) · making Crownroad on the side

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

been building a Blender add-on that snaps modular pieces together, so i decided to build a whole town with it 🏘️

it’s called Kitbuilder and it’s coming soon to Superhive, follow along if you want it!

which building should i show built start to finish? #b3d #gamedev

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

@Citizen267 Thank you :))

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

rebuilt my voxel terrain generation in Unreal to use real world data, plus new materials and lighting 🌊

26 oct vs 28 oct. what do you think it’s missing?

#UnrealEngine #gamedev

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

@solana_bandit Somewhat yeah :) but am struggling to take it that extra mile cause its voxel it struggles with hardened edges and such

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

@TristanDebroise What a great idea! i hadnt thought of that - thats a really good way to bring it to life!! Thank you :)

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

been learning voxel terrain in Unreal and it’s finally at the point where i can dig craters and carve out trenches in real time 🕳️

still lots to do, what should i add next? #UnrealEngine #gamedev

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

@PtVHVQ2FPQ51994 Oh yeah thatd be a nice way to tie it all together and really sell the vibe of it. thanks for the suggestion :)

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

@IncGames_app Thanks! thats a great suggestion ill give that a go! I hadnt thought of that.

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

@kenzie__games Thanks! the terrain is procedural voxels (my own tool, so it’s all diggable and destructible), but I measure it against real elevation data: Kartverket’s 10 m DTM for Lofoten, and Scottish LiDAR for Glen Coe valley shapes. The slopes have to land within a few % of the real thing.

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

@ustare Fair! The cliffs and bay are generated, with real elevation data only as a reference for slopes - used to make the terrain feel realistic as it can be. these slopes are references real height data from Lofoten and Glen Coe

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

@HarisPutratama ah i like the sound of that, something with a bit of strategy and trench warfare would be pretty cool too. Would be cool to see how different players adapt and shape their environment for an advantage.

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

@unity3dvfx Ai can help enable the developer to do more of the game design and leave the coding etc to the machine. developers could use it to prioritize game design

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

@RosyaevAndrew holyyyy now thats an epic idea right there

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

@tsitskidev sweeet, thats awesome. actually a huge time saver, nice stuff!

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

@keydol123 the differences are really interesting, i wonder if you got them both to do it again with no context what the result would be

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

@cyberarenacom thanks for the suggestion! yeah thats a good one to show what it can do.

@300mice I love the way the missing curve around in flight, it gives such good character

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

@caren633881 Thanks!

[SmeeperDev @SmeeperDev]

@ThiagoUnreal dayum thats awesome haha well done
