I've posted some videos and photos of this in the past, but after many years I've picked up on this project again for my upcoming roleplaying server. Current history so far: V1: Was written in PAWN, world generation took 30 - 60 minutes and during that time you couldn't join the server. V2: Was written in .NET using spaghetti code, world generation took roughly 15 minutes and during that time you could play on the server and see it happen in front of you, see Young Fir Forest & Dense Fir Forest video. V3: Fully refactored the code in .NET and made it organized, clean and now partially supports multi-threading. World generation now takes roughly 100 seconds, does give a bit of a lag spike on the server while it is generating. Little disclaimer: This is not yet actually for the entire world. Red County and Whetstone are near fully implemented, Flint County and Bone County still have to be done. I also have plans to add way more biomes in the future, and even underwater biomes, all of which will increase the generation time. YouTube Video: fF0cSdKCPnw YouTube Video: 0Q5gp7N4M0M YouTube Video: KvREbFi6sb0 YouTube Video: c5YGdkrZHsE I also have plans for a V4 in the future. I believe I can get the world generation time down even more, but for now I am satisfied and working on other more important features for the server. The biome generator is not just meant to be a gimmick but have an actual purpose for RPG elements like crafting, gathering, hunting, woodcutting, mining, etc.
