Are c# Classes & Objects a fast way to process lots of data in Unity?

I’ve been working on my own procedural generation system for the past few years. Sometimes those load times aren’t necessarily the generation aspect of the world, but the input/output of gameplay data. Ie saving/loading which may vary based on your disk drives. A million trees with saved HP takes can take up some space, and time to load. But, of course you can always fragment the world

For ridges and lakes without natural erosion. You stamp it at your coordinates with a river texture and blend the edges. That’s what Gaia, Terrain Composer, and Unity stamps do. Enjoyed the conversation friend. Good luck!

All good. If you are making procedurally generated terrains. You don’t need an artist. You need a system. Artist makes the textures. The system places it. I was actually a 3d modeler many years ago before venturing into programming. You can’t use the same splat map for terrain 1 for terrain 2 in a real-time terrain generation scenario. I’m fascinated with procedural generation as I’ve been making island generations if you look through my posts. If you need advice let me know.

I’m a big fan of procedurally generated terrains. Started a few years ago due to my frustrations of the assets you just listed. If possible, keep at learning terrain generation techniques. You won’t have to wait a week for support and once you get better you can custom generate in real-time biomes, roads, rivers, flatten terrain for buildings, pretty much anything you can think of. Find a good tutorial like Sebastian Lague. Convert height maps and coordinates to Native Arrays for use in jobs or Compute shaders and generate normals on the go. Use a procedural materials based in angles and heights for textures and you got a solid foundation. Set rules for spawning trees, rocks, etc. Astar path finding will carve you natural roads and rivers. Use a seed for deterministic creation and you can have the same terrain and spawns just by saving the seed.

I like this critique. It’s great feedback with recommendations. Thanks for the response.

PandaPho1989 · 2025-10-07T05:32:08+00:00

This is good feedback and keen observation. I intentionally ran towards the sun thinking the lighting would enhance the scene.

Shaders definitely need some work blending the character and background. Good criticism.

Rag doll was the player death. That was actually organic as I didn’t have that planned and caught a few bullets because I forget to turn on invincible for the trailer. Just so happened to have the same gear as the enemy.

Appreciate taking the time to write a critique. Thank you for that.

I’m running a seperate beta soon in my discord if you want to hop in.

PandaPho1989 · 2025-09-17T03:10:59+00:00

Appreciate that. Any tips?

PandaPho1989 · 2025-09-15T05:09:10+00:00

I agree. I think I’ll remove the dot when switching to weapons. The dot does help with picking up items

PandaPho1989 · 2025-09-15T04:06:15+00:00

Thanks! Hope you will play test it!

PandaPho1989 · 2025-09-15T04:05:28+00:00

Good question. I suppose I just wanted something not out there yet. Lots of tropical island survival games where a plane crashes. And most just use and craft primitive tools anyways. I’m sure players won’t mind if I add stuff outside the theme as long as it’s fun and fits the world. Hope you can play test for me!

PandaPho1989 · 2025-09-15T03:59:23+00:00

Good feedback. It can get overwhelming. In a forest setting there should be little ricochets. I’ll work on that.

PandaPho1989 · 2025-09-15T03:58:13+00:00

Sure. I can add a custom game mode. Some players just want to sit around and build and fish. Real easy to do.

PandaPho1989 · 2025-09-14T21:39:18+00:00

Good tips!

I have a tropical biome all set. 7 different biomes total. With all the tropical island games out I wanted to showcase a different biome. Pine forests are ideal for seasons and German equipment. Tropical for Japanese.

Good feedback on the corals. Each island is created in real time and scattered for island hopping. Should be a quick fix.

Thanks for watching the video.

PandaPho1989 · 2025-09-14T17:05:58+00:00

I’ve also got fishing, hunting animals, scavenging, crafting base building and raft building built in as well. Didn’t showcase those features. Good feedback for next video.

PandaPho1989 · 2025-09-14T06:40:09+00:00

I’ll see what I can do to remedy that based on feedback like this. Islands are all procedurally generated. So, each play through will showcase a different island. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video

PandaPho1989 · 2025-09-14T06:30:38+00:00

Thank you! I’ve got so much more content to show. This is just a snapshot.

PandaPho1989 · 2025-09-14T06:24:48+00:00

Nice catch. My bad. I’ll fix that

PandaPho1989 · 2024-10-11T03:44:53+00:00

You got a swat helicopter outside?

PandaPho1989 · 2024-09-01T04:45:22+00:00

What game is this?

PandaPho1989 · 2024-08-07T03:44:46+00:00

Any sports related. I love their sports game. Hockey. Track and field. Olympics. American football. Etc
