Currently implementing the POI system for #TinyDreamWorld procedurally generated Dreamscapes. 🌸
The game designer will be able to create "chunks" in an editor and they will be randomly placed by the generation algorithm.

Slowly getting back to working on #TinyDreamWorld since my schedule is finally starting to lighten up a bit. Back to procedural generation shenanigans! ✨
Also finally made the move to Linux Mint, at least on my work laptop for now.

I self-published Without a Dawn in May. I made zero compromises, and I couldn't be happier how it turned out: store.steampowered.com/app/3145620/... 💛💚
Unfortunately, I've had very little luck with exposure, including the gaming press. 😩

Getting the full #freelance experience (not the good kind) on my first contract job with a client. Unrealistic expectations, scope creep, ghosting mid-project and now trying to avoid payment. 😅

Forced myself to take the weekend off gamedev/unity to go on a mini-vacation and just realized how absolutely exhausted I am 🫠 Can't wait for june to be finally over

Very sorry for the recent inactivity! I will finally have some time for my own games in July again! 🥳
Reaaally want to get back to #TinyDreamWorld but I'm absolutely swamped with other game projects
(that I can't even post about 😅) currently.
But this is a good sign for my future #indiedev plans!

Fulltime #indiedev transition is going well but it's going to be a hectic month. Currently juggling between wrapping up my day job, client work and a bunch of paperwork 😅 #TinyDreamWorld development will continue when things have settled down a bit, bear with me. 🙏

Progress on procedurally generated levels in #TinyDreamWorld 🎄✨
It's definitely not perfect yet and the parameters will need to be tweaked to result in actually fun levels but it's good enough to start building the "content placement" part next. 😊

Implemented a simple Binary Space Algorithm to block out the island sections of a #TinyDreamWorld level. The actual island shapes will either be hand-authored chunks or generated via a "random walk algorithm".
Also pretty satisfying to watch it go. 😄

Been another pretty busy week but managed to get some planning for #TinyDreamWorld procedural generation done at least. 😄
I've been going back and forth on which algorithm to use - here's a simple "Random Walk" algorithm in action. ✨

The dreamscapes in #TinyDreamWorld are currently handcrafted with predefined spawn locations for gameplay elements.
Time to make them more interesting! 😄
For the next update, I'm going to start working on *actual* procedural level generation! ✨
