RedEng Developer

Here's some of the behind the scenes of creating the logo! 1. Base "Blocking" 2. Shadows! Makes it really pop in 3D! 3. Texturing, no shadows 4. An alternate version with the Ascent warped towards the Wormhole! I'm no artist but have had to dip my toe being a solo game dev 😅

I've named my minigame WORMHOLE ASCENT! Thanks everyone for liking my announcement post, reposting, and following 🫶 For the hype, I decided to work on the first prototype of the logo! Let me know what you think 😅 #Hytale #HytaleModding

@ShargonHT @Herborus Yes! Go for it! It's always fun curating your own world and you have me and other world gen artists in the community to ask for help!

@RedstoneEngine0 @Herborus Your tutorial is really good. I have seen many people who took it as foundation to start to learn worldgenv2 editing, and nowadays they are doing great things! I have watched it myself and I might try it out as well...

Sometimes you will encounter a mystical place within the walls #Hytale #HytaleModding

@Herborus Hey that's great! Glad I could help! What you've been making looks really cool so far! Excited to explore all the different worlds when the contest's done!

@RedstoneEngine0 Yes but it quickly becomes too much and I need to stop myself using all the colors available 🤣 And btw for this project my biomes and global heightmap are mainly based of the model you showed in your videos, it was really helpful thank you for that!

@thehotlineguy Yes! It's world gen with some minigame elements combined so as soon as whoever you invite joins the world, you can start. But also I guess you could technically live there as well 😅 Pave your own path

@RedstoneEngine0 Ah so it's like a world gen with a minigame?

I didn't hide it well cause I've been excited about it 😅 but the minigame I'm working on is a race to the top with fighting, traversal, risks, and sometime rewards through a wormhole of dimensions! Biomes Thread 🧵 x.com/RedstoneEngine… #Hytale #HytaleModding

@thehotlineguy Like a public server for others to join? Hmm... That does sound like a lot of fun, but I have no intention of setting that up myself currently. May look into this at a later date!

@RedstoneEngine0 will it be hosted on a server?

Will be working next on the materials and enemies! Found out 1 block biomes do not look well in images, so thanks for following if you have been! 🫡 This idea was inspired by the idea from the Abyssal Ascent mod for Minecraft

The Final Biome!! "The Volcano!" A chaotic last level with pillars, lava, more pillars, and a final rush up the final staircase! A combination of all the previous levels! And at the top freedom... #Hytale #HytaleModding #WorldGenV2

Biome 3: The "Winter Twist"! A spiral staircase design with a central sculpture piece and alcoves generated along the walls of this soon to be ice-y section! One more biome remains... #Hytale #HytaleModding #WorldGenV2

Biome 2: The "Ancient Twists"! Traversal will be tricky with many powerful, ancient monsters lurking about! And yet, we still continue upwards... (Upped contrast to see better with no materials) #Hytale #HytaleModding #WorldGenV2

First look at "The Underside" for my WorldGen / Experience submission! Can't wait to add those new blocks in the latest update! This is just the beginning... I wonder where that hole leads to?? 👀 More info soon #Hytale #HytaleModding #WorldGenV2

I've uploaded my Loading Screen World to @CurseForge! I tried to use the Machinima tools for a showcase but ran into issues with chunk loading and npc spawning so I probably won't use it again 😅 I also wanted to test submitting for the jam! #Hytale #HytaleModding #WorldGenV2

The Loading Screen World is finished! The mountains have been made and of course the material shading used more of the DensityGradient Node, I'm obsessed 😅Does mean it only makes sense at sunrise tho... I've included other cinematic shots! #Hytale #HytaleModding #WorldGenV2

Got the second biome done for a world based on the Hytale Loading Screen! Went a lot faster than the first biome as I'm getting used to all these advanced nodes! Now all I need is the skewed mountains on top with shading! #Hytale #HytaleModding #WorldGenV2

@Olegro_ @HytaleModding Yes!! Have you seen the post where someone made a galaxy by doing a huge twist on a couple cylinders?

@RedstoneEngine0 @HytaleModding I need to learn Twist urgently lmao

Hytale WorldGen V2 Journey [Day 6] - As I mentioned yesterday, I will be focusing on Density for a while. - As a start, I have begun to understand Curve and “learn” what results I will get under what conditions. This site is extremely valuable at the beginning. codepen.io/Xaph/full/zxBZ… - I still can't control it completely, but at least I can make it look decent to a minimum level. - Since the props will change in the new patch, I'm not focusing on that part much anymore and am concentrating on Density, which is my priority. Under normal circumstances, I would have set aside 3-4 days, but it seems I need more. - I'm open to all information about Density, and if you want me to bombard you with questions, please DM me.

@Olegro_ @HytaleModding Yes! That looks to be the correct assumption. Node trees do get pretty long as more features are added 😅 Looking forward to seeing where your progress goes!

All of them are currently in my notebook thank you so much. ❤️ So the reason my node tree got this long and were reinforced one after another with mix-min-max-min is, for example: 1. in stage (mix) “Which biome am I in?” 2. in stage (min) “let's extract the riverbed from this biome” 3. (max) “Let's add special rocks to the riverbank” 4. (min again) “Now let's pass caves through all of them” 5. (sum) “Let's add the final touch and add texture” Is that how it works? I hope my conclusion is correct. (Yes, the order is different in the image below lol)

@Olegro_ @HytaleModding An example of my own: I wanted to add river overhangs so I started with a top land heightmap, the river heightmap, and an inversed overhang heightmap. Min: Top + Overhang ->Carved out top overhang Max: Carved overhang + River ->Final heightmap Hope this helps! Wrote it quick

@Olegro_ @HytaleModding For 3D: This is where min and max are very useful! Max is where you want to combine 2 3D noise maps and min is where you want to combine air blocks from 2 3D noise maps. So as you said, a cave mapping uses min so the air blocks from the Cave noise carves into the main noise ...
