There is something freeing about removing yourself from the component design process entirely. A pipeline builds one every day, tests it, ships it. The library develops character from rhythm, not planning.

I really have to gush about how far my procedural 2D #rpg I've been making in #godot has come in. the past half a year. I just finished up the first pass at the looting UI for chests, which is one of the last features keeping the first biome from being truly playable. I've got two other important features on the backlog (one being the area boss) and i should have a solid demo!

I realized that by varying the mapping from character classes (roughly, phoneme groups) to characters, I can generate the same word/name as different language speakers would spell it.

For example, in mock-Arabic a city could be called Frykult, whereas in mock-Spanish it would be called Fgicolt instead.

This has gameplay potential!

This feature comes for free with my #ProcGen approach outlined on https://frozenfractal.com/blog/2024/8/9/around-the-world-19-constructing-languages/

I'm excited about #bevy 's upcoming new scene system! I didn't wait for it to be out, and made fernweh, a plugin based on the in-progress branch.

It's a tiny, but very handy plugin designed to help with chunk-based procedural generation. It lets you specify the procedural generation logic in a declarative way (what chunks should be visible at any point in time, what a given chunk should consist of) and takes care of asynchronously computing the contents of new chunks, and spawning/despawning chunks.

It's very, very generic, so it can be used in 2D and 3D.

Attached is the repository's example: you control the white disk, and chunks (materialized by colored polygons) spawn and despawn based on where you are.

Here the chunks are simple entities, but thanks to the new scene system you can have them be arbitrary hierarchies of entities.

Each chunk takes a little while to appear, because the example includes a `std::thread::sleep()` call to simulate computationally intensive calculations (think sampling random noise, collapsing wave functions...), but those are performed asynchronously, so they don't block interaction.

It's a good sign that I'm enjoying sightseeing in my own game. Those are some impressive cliffs you got there.
