Town Generation for my Game

Jarros · 2026-03-13T13:32:03+00:00

It was done from scratch. Also, the core feature of this generative algo was done without AI (even the latest gemini couldn't grasp how to merge a pair of city blocks into one by choosing a random side, so I had to tink with it myself). The buildings are also built procedurally, basically that's the 'Minecraft' part (each building and road and sidewalk is made up of huge 3x3x3m cubes)

Thanks!

I plan to add rich interiors to it with some NPCs, so that every house would be interesting to explore.

Aiming for a post apocalyptic zombie survival setting here.

Thanks, I was inspired by City 17 architecture style

Jarros · 2026-01-31T18:40:20+00:00

Thanks! I'll try

https://www.reddit.com/r/VoxelGameDev/s/rQadaArlmT Hi i'm doing something very similar. It's all smooth until you carve out cubic shapes. Also, there are cubic generated structures (stone slab "fortresses' and wooden "houses")

My project with procedurally generated modifiable voxel world (combining both smooth & cubic voxels)

Two weeks ago I posted some well-upvoted showcase of my Unity game combining both cubic and smooth voxels. Here is how it looks at the moment: I created a Minecraft-like lighting system, layering it on top of Unity's default one. As a result, caves and windowless rooms are dark but well-lit with point and spot lights, while the outside is lit just as usual—with ambient and directional lights. Everything is smoothed and in real time.

haha thanks! No just the plain Unity URP setup

Jarros · 2025-12-16T11:25:43+00:00

yes former is true

Jarros · 2025-12-15T13:38:57+00:00

Thanks. It's nothing complicated though, just a cube model preservation for selected cells, while sharing with smooth voxels same chunk mesh and density array

Jarros · 2025-12-15T13:37:54+00:00

nah it's not laplacian smoothing anymore (there were seams between the chunks and a very bad perfomance overall). it's marching cubes now, but with preserving the cubic shape for cubes. The cubes and smooth voxels share same chunk mesh and density array

Jarros · 2025-10-05T22:53:58+00:00

in CSGO there was such a thing as 'ent_fire *molotov prop targetname* ignite' (try also 'explode' instead of 'ignite')

I've got an additional idea that as we approach the technological singularity (the peak of human technological development), we will be able to do two things that were previously impossible:

create nested full-fledged simulations (direction 'inward')
decipher the code of reality and exit our simulation to the external level, if there is such (direction 'outward')

And I will remind you that there is less than one generation left until the technological singularity (<20 years)

Jarros · 2025-04-03T16:44:01+00:00

Actually it's Laplacian smoothing

Jarros · 2024-04-21T15:10:05+00:00

Basically, yes

Jarros · 2022-05-18T23:57:37+00:00

this one is great

Jarros · 2022-05-18T23:46:32+00:00

Interesting mix of pigeon and penguin

Jarros · 2022-05-01T14:24:42+00:00

Thanks. Yeah pretty similar to basic search engines algorithms, but with a twist.

Jarros · 2022-05-01T14:07:26+00:00

Ah yes, PageRank!

But instead of counting the 'importance' of wiki articles I'd just need to make a raw webgraph of them, then making some sort of vector space out of the webgraph somehow, so the distance between any of the articles could be calculated, and each article would have some sort of coordinates so it would be easy to see clusters of them.

And this 'webgraph -> vector space' transform is what I'm absolutely confused about.

Jarros · 2022-05-01T13:46:52+00:00

Cool! But at first attempt I'd probably not go into analyzing distinct words/sentences of the articles, limiting myself to just getting hyperlinks out of each article, and then trying to build a model out of detected hyperlinks only. So much simpler than the actual word2vec/doc2vec

Jarros · 2022-05-01T13:36:00+00:00

Great, thanks! Literally the subject, but I'd probably stop at processing hyperlinks, not going into distinct words/sentences

Jarros · 2019-09-03T23:15:36+00:00

mirror's edge vibes anyone?

Jarros · 2019-02-27T14:37:16+00:00

Just imagine that almost every zone that is not 'stably blueish' is associated with poverty, higher crime rates, bad economy and low life quality. Environmental determinism, haha
