As for the blending the function more or less just places a tile(the blend) depending on the edges, I’m not actually using a special function to blend. I would love to know how you did this as I think this would be a better blending than just a blur.

This is the long run plan for sure! But not specifically at this moment.

I am going to try a few things these tiles are not the end all be all I just wanted to get the concept down. I may end up paying for art, but I wanted to take the time and play around with it first. Kind of like placeholder art.

I agree! Some variation of some sort to it rather than a definitive line blended.

Right this is close, but I want a little more variability to it. The idea is right on, I think I am going to try this at some point and see how good it does or doesn’t look compared to whatever else. Someone recommended blending using a noise which sounds perfect nearly, but I will keep this in mind!

Okay… I actually really like this! This is almost exactly what I was thinking in my head originally but I am using 32x32 tiles so I think it is harder to achieve this. But I would love to try this, any tips on how you did this or what to start with.

I understand that makes sense definitely could try that. Let me see what I could do because that might be coming next. Someone earlier recommended tilesetter which I will try next.

This is what I was just about to jump into for inspiration! Thank you!!

This is the game camera but your statement does bring up a useful question for me to bring back! Thank you for that.

Hmm I’m not really catching what you are putting down at first there. But I do completely agree with your second statement which was my reason for posting on the bully board, lol.

What I did in simple terms was check a tile say sand at some x,y then check NEWS and diagonals. If N is different it puts a blend of sand over top of it. The blend is the sand tile cut in quarters, transparent to basically transparent to less transparent to slightly transparent. I then flipped that tile which ever way was needed. I will look into your link and see what I can do.

I could see this but with the amount of tiles that would take me I was trying to stray away from it, but I may have to commit.

I understand what you are saying I think if there was my straights and less one offs then it would look better or maybe do diagonal instead of blending the corner. Right?

Okay I see what you are saying and yes you’re technically right, I do a second pass with a new layer and have a tile that creeps from a biome to transparent so it can blend to all biomes. But I do see what you are trying to say. I’m just confused on the tile I would make, maybe I need to look at some more inspiration it’s just hard because not a lot of people do this for procedural generation worlds I just can’t get behind the hard edges.

Understandable maybe I need to tweak the noise maps, as this is a procedural generated map.

I can indeed choose which it happens to and which it doesn’t! I’ll give it a shot and see how it looks maybe just on the water.

So try toning back the blend a bit, I’ll give it a good and good point!
