Chapter 3: Popup Forest

Dragons in the Sky
A downloadable game for Windows

With another update comes new things!

Proc-gen in world chunks! Of course coming with scenery I wanted to approach this as best as possible. These kinds of games require a TON of variety to make every new place you see feel new or at least unique. Which means tons of chunks to hand craft and then put them into an array of other chunks.

This alone doesn't make the cake though. So, scenery is also proc-gen from chunk to chunk. Rocks and flowers have a set range of area they can be moved around onto. And they can also be hidden. Sections of trees also have this feature to create interesting areas in the forest such as clearings. This combined might allow you to find clearings filled with flowers! Or dense forests void of all else.

This is the newest snack-sized chapter in the game's development :D
