Procedural cave generation insights

Welcome back everyone to another devlog update. This time, I have something more concrete to show in form of a video devlog. In there I am going to show some major progress on:

  • mineral spawning
  • procedural cave generation
  • revamped UI
  • Xbox controller support

Many of you are eagerly waiting for the 0.1 Smithing Update, however, I have not implemented that yet. Reason being is that I want to invent a crafting system that fulfills the following criteria:

  • easy to use, hard to master
  • skill-based
  • intuitive
  • physical / not UI based

Especially, the last point is a difficult one because I want to create a system that is happening in the world rather than on a UI screen. A lot of games often have crafting systems that 90% happen in the UI only. There is 0 skill involved. I want to do something different and I am currently researching on that topic by watching tons of smithing videos.

Stay tuned for the next devlog that will fully cover this topic of Smithing in cave. Also, do not forget to subscribe to my Youtube channel and join my Discord to not miss out on any updates!
