#Procedural generation

Elysian Mesh now supports "layouts", making it possible to place objects along circles, splines or other mathematical shapes!

Procedural Dungeon Generation

Alright~ After much work we have finally completed our dungeon generation algorithm. First, we generate the rooms, separate them using a separation steering algorithm.

Second, we generate a graph that represents connections between the various rooms

Third, we perform what is known as Delaunay Triangulation, in which we evaluate pairs of triangles and swap their shared edge if it fails a test boiled down to a simple matrix determinant evaluation Fourth, we construct a Graph of connectivity from the Delaunay triangulation

Fifth, we perform an A* pathfinding algorithm to connect points on the delauney triangulation through the neighborhood graph

Finally, if we didn't traverse through a room, we can remove it to simplify the dungeon into something a little less dense

There are some extra things we can do here and there, and bugs and edge cases to iron out here and there, but for now, we have a pretty neat little dungeon generator. The next step is to actually procedurally generate the rooms and then use the connectivity graphs to implement game logic and whatnot, but that we will save for another time.

More procedural mall generation stuff!

• Automatic store-front sign placements.

• Random doorway/room shapes (I need to make more of the doorways bigger or add windows tho).

• Generation based on room dimensions. Right now it just places a light in top center, but will be used to make room contents next!

I added a player character The player literally just uses the default player script the Godot engine gives you by default

You can move, jump, and reload the level

Trust me, it will look better soon

Good [crackalackin] news, my [Homeslices].

I have authored a [way to the promised land].

This video counts today as 2 renders right... Please

This took me 2 days of trial and error

Procedural tree trunk, making use of the new spline component in Elysian Mesh. Huge step towards a proper plant editor.

Alright! Delaunay triangulation is officially, properly implemented. Notable roadblocks: Some boolean logic was terminating early because I one-lined it improperly A random test case was running on update constantly messing up the triangulation, causing me to question my sanity as I desperately figured out why it was flipping things back and forth Swizzling and figuring out the order the elements had to go into the matrix. At the very least, they have to be ordered counterclock wise, and just for good measure I matched the order to this diagram (again, courtesy of wikipedia)

And finally, we no longer needed a test for convexity as the Delaunay process handles that case as well! meaning it was actively getting in the way of the algorithm and had to be removed! Super excited to move on from this nightmare

Silt Spawn is really coming together! :D

I added so much since the last update: a "new game" animation (seen above), save files with autosave, hunger mechanics and animations, and more!
