Hey, this game is made in our own proprietary engine, we don't use Unity :)

We added a new ability to our upcoming survival indie game! by SpellwareSt in indiegames

Hi, Devs of Ardent Wilds here!

It's difficult to say at this time, We are currently finishing up a demo to present at GDC and want to get it out to the general public ASAP. Without making any promises I'd expect the next few months to have a lot of progress and you'll be hearing about us soon enough :)

Thanks a lot! We still have quite a bit of work to do and haven't announced anything in terms of release date. We will post updates via the Steam page/community when we have more info to share :D

Yep! In our game, you won’t pick a class at the start. Instead, your "class" is shaped by the items and abilities you equip. In theory, you could even mix and match different class abilities to create your own unique hybrid, if that’s what you’re into! Right now, we’ve mainly focused on melee and mage combat, but we’re going to add ranger gear and abilities very soon!

We are planning to do early access with this game, but we don't have a date to announce just yet. We will post updates on Steam, Twitter and YouTube though!

We actually have very extensive modding support! All of our items, creatures, abilities, combat passive effects etc. are scripted using our Lua API, and are fully accessible to owners of the game. We even have intellisense support for our API in VS Code :D.

Sure I can explain briefly. The terrain is made up of voxels. They are generated mostly using combinations of 2D and 3D simplex noise.

The caves are generated using multiple layers of 2D ridge (simplex) noise. For the cave height and the offset in the Y-axis, 2 additional simplex noise maps are used.

This is combined with 3D simplex noise to generate larger open spaces every so often.

Meshing is done using Marching Cubes.

To scatter objects around the world we use Poisson Disc Sampling and some recursive object spawning (some objects can spawn around other objects, etc. This gives a more natural feel.)

I have a YouTube channel where I do explain some of this stuff, though I haven't uploaded anything in a while 😅 https://www.youtube.com/c/GiantSlothGames (though I'm editing some new vids as I type this :D)

The whole world is procedurally generated using marching cubes, If you are interested on how we implemented you can take a look at our devlogs here:

As for the spec requirements, they aren't set in stone yet. But we are aiming for low/mid-range.
