Perfection is about imperfection

The procedural dry tree I presented in the previous post looks too unnatural, like a bunch of sticks glued into each other.

One key feature is missing to achieve good looking procedural nature: imperfections, aka, noise.

Now the branches are distorted according to a noise function I created for the game.

I also applied the same concept in the tree's procedural texture:


To make wood texture look more like wood.

Next is to make the game generate leaves for the tree.

Game is around 9% complete and 20% ready for alpha release.

Making a 3d game especially the graphics and assets is quite hard. Good luck 👍

You're right! Coding the graphics is also a challenge. Thanks, man!

Thanks a lot! I plan to go through the properties in a video, but haven't had the time to properly make it. As a fellow solo dev, you know how solo game dev is hard, right? So many fronts we have to tackle

Yes, it's quite nice to have complete independence (hence the name indie game dev.)!

I'm making my own engine because I love this part, I already do it for a living, but yes it's specially hard to maintain your own game engine, thanks for the acknowledgment! Personally, what I find most difficult is marketing and social-media stuff, It takes too long for me and I always feel like I'm missing something.
