sorta?

during the "determine POI position" step, it can run 2 ways: completely proc-gen (positions determined by algorithm) or bespoke (predetermined positions)

but i don't really "edit" the islands so much as steer their initial generation

& yes, no overhangs or tunnels w the heightmap approach!

seb's video has minecraft-style infinite terrain, which the game didn't need, so the final system looks like this:

1. determine the position of POI
2. draw a heightmap around the POI
3. pass the heightmap to the seb-style terrain gen system, which handles breaking it into chunks, LOD levels, etc.

hey! so, the terrain in tall trails is a bunch of proc-gen meshes

the inspiration for the system came from these seb lague videos, which are excellent: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbpM...

@bradysoglin.bsky.social's Tall Trails is one of the more satisfying experiences you might not have heard of this month.

It's a cute & chill platformer, moving around and figuring out new items is insanely fun and pulling off crazy moves to travel is just fantastic.

GO PLAY IT! #indiegame
