Who would have guessed that it’d take 2 months for this post. I didn’t even do that much. It’s just… Home Office is over and my energy is gone for the most part.

NONETHELESS! I’ll try to be more active again. This won’t be a long post. Hopefully.

Summary

Let’s check the small ToDo-List at the end of the last post:

• Select a tile and it’s neighbouring tiles within a given range
  • Yeah, I did that.
• Renaming X|Y|Z of HexCoordinates to Q|R|S to differentiate them much better from the offset axes
  • I did that, too.
• Changing the Dictionary in the HexMap to 3D array
  • I did that with using the X|Y representation of the TileMap, so no negative values are stored. Works so much faster.
• Changing UnityCoords to TilemapCoords to be more specific
  • Also did that

But that’s not all…

I reworked all of my tiles as you can see in the header picture. Here are some examples:

The old tiles lacked depth, so I tried to create a kind of 3D effect when recreating all of them. I also increased the size to 64px width. (I know, the snowman isn’t that cute anymore 😔)

These were the first drafts, but i all went along even more. Now I have biomes, will cut off the flora from the tiles and place them on their own (flowers, trees <= and all of them depending on the biome).

It will be great.

The WorldGeneration

Before I explain a lot… just look at this:

You can see the biomes of snow and desert splatted onto the map randomly.
My wife also told me to not only create vertical continents… so I added some horizontalliness (is that even a fucking word?) to it.

But that’s just the beginning

I will add a lot of more stuff and more biomes and will adapt the world generation accordingly. And before I forget…

GitHub
This is the C# Code of my project.
I won’t share my graphics assets though :)
(The code is still shit but will be cleaned up step by step)

That’s it

Thanks for reading!
