Procedural World: Following one man's task of building a virtual world
« on: July 06, 2011, 10:44:37 am »
Just thought I would share this. Especially because there is currently a votey up on the site with the following options:
What would you like to come out of this?
Content creation application (like WorldMachine)  250 (23%)
3ds max plugins   79 (7%)
Fully dynamic sandbox game (nextgen Minecraft) 707 (66%)
Dwarf Fortress universe with rich graphics 622 (58%)

I voted for the last two options myself.

First seen at Kotaku: click me

Some very nice pictures there.

Other than the flying particles, this is perfect. Here's to hoping it's put to good use.

Hahah, man, oh wow, SkyNet or what?

So, would you say I pass the Turing test?

Those terrains remind me of Terragen. So do the clouds for that matter.
