Procedural Forests! Indie Game Devlog

[@ThinMatrix]

Very cool video and the game is looking good too! It was really interesting to see how you generated the rivers. Looking forward to seeing more devlogs from you :)

[@BWDev]

This has made my day! Will keep it up 👍

ok

[@s9k573]

Wow, you've really come a long way

[@Zawazuki]

Just found your channel! I'm about to binge all the episodes thus far. cheers btw: 100th like

[@awhahoo]

1:20 AM is the best time to watch the whole series

[@yellow4756]

You should make a tutorial about the grid system of your game and also how to place objects. because there are a very few tutorials about it

[@ElliotIF]

This is the kind of game i've been really looking foward to play and make one day, will definetly keep an eye on this project keep up the good work :)

[@AnormalMate]

This is the perfect example of someone never giving up on game development towards your dream game.

[@JesusW4y]

Lovely video! The game looks great and it's always a treat to see a newly developed isometric game! Keep it up!

[@zeblanoue2642]

Your dev log is such a gem. Grateful for your content until my dying day.

[@RohakGaming]

Can u make or show where to find tutorials on how to make building and money systems in unity?

[@XxxXxToxicxXxXx]

Really awesome looking game. Can't wait to see your progress!

[@zacwesleybrown]

would love more videos and a tutorial would be amazing im still struggling with procedual generation

[@PDF4711]

Just found this channel... will absolutely be following the development - like the style of the game AND the style of the videos 👍🏻

[@tomthenightmare173]

Well seems like I found a new rabbit hole to fall

[@richardosborn159]

looking forward to this series! Thanks for the inspiration and example.

[@tomaszzawislak9500]

are you using Tilemap for the background?(ground and trees)

[@darkrozen4110]

This is similar to age of empires, very cool game, hope you develop it well.

[@rajeevjawaji4472]

Can you make tutorials on random generation

[@colinperry654]

Little did he know in one year he would be famous

[@FICHEKK]

Nice dev vlog! Keep it up! Also, maybe you could show us and explain some code? I think that would be interesting.

[@BWDev]

Thanks! Yep, already got some code footage ready for the next one - can go through and explain it 👍

[@StarlightTem]

Rewatching the series! also can’t believe you’re still commenting on comments, pure dedication.

[@SaadTheGlad]

Yes please make the cellular automata video

What is the highest amount of wood you can get from one tree??

[@WS-xd4sd]

Loving your work BWDEV???? Wow how do you find time to do this and also release a cyber security video game. Just done a -search and seen on spotify you've filled in your time making some music . how the ---- do you find to do all this I find it hard enough to make the bed!

[@bananaman7537]

Do you have any plan or idea when this game might finish. Like a rough estimate from your side would be really nice. Keep up the nice work!

[@BloxedZ3R0]

Time to start watching

[@bazerlo7779]

Very nice content! Your voice is very enjoyable. I'd really like to see a bit of the code .. I have no clue of Unity, is there even a real "source code"? But I also write my Idea downs to paper before I code it :D

[@BWDev]

Sure, I'll be showing code in the next one! Yep, Unity is scripted in C# so is very versatile - I definitely recommend giving it a go!

[@bazerlo7779]

@@BWDev I love Java u know :D But keep it up & yea I had C# in school ^_^

[@thejuice027]

I find myself in the same situation as you. I don't have that much experience using unity but I've been learning as much as I can. I want to make an RTS game but I don't know exactly how to get started.

[@chaoticprogramming]

Me looking for how to make conveyers

[@CRT_YT]

Gonna binge your videos again because why the hell not

[@luzgremlin9544]

The Waffle House sends its regards

[@EverTheFractal]

Just came from your latest video, I was interested in how far along the game has come so I'm watching all the videos on my second monitor as I work on my game idea

[@thenomadsclan6238]

rewatching this from the start :D

[@rad-man]

Back in the day they couldnt build conver belts through the forest so logs were floated down river :)

[@Spellweaver5]

Honestly, I really like the look of the attempt 3. It looks stylized enough but pretty atmospheric. Did you discard it because you didn't like the looks or did you assume that it would take too long to draw in this style?

[@BWDev]

The art took way too long to get anywhere with it, and just didn’t really know enough about game development at the time

[@prestonsbookreview4179]

THIS IS TOO NOSTALGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nutritionalyeast7978]

bit of a specific q, how do the coordinates in ur isometric system work? I'm guessing ur using diamond shaped tile sprites, rather than an orthographic camera rotated by 45°. so are the x,y axes of the game objects on a diagonal to line up with the isometric grid, or are they placed as they would be on screen with x and y representing vertical and horizontal position?

[@BWDev]

Coordinates are isometric too, so the axes follow the angle of the tiles

[@harryfenteman6295]

how do you create a grid snap for the things you want to place down

[@kenorta8852]

too think its been 2 years

[@mahmudizukri]

1:40 i don't understand this huhuuu. My bad english :')

[@sbn0671]

Cool! Keep it up!!

[@tate_talk574]

Hey bwdev how can I look at the code in any way I would like to see it and have a go at it for my self or you should put out a how to build this game I'm just having trouble with the conveyor belts

[@bobandy7279]

Considering it's his game; the code won't just be available for others so that they can pirate it

[@Skibidy_rizzler_]

Ok

[@dany19991]

looks cool , I like the pixelart style + isometric . did you code the isometric part yourself or did you use some addons from the unity store ?

[@BWDev]

I did it myself - quite simple though! Just changes an object’s render layer depending on its height on the screen 😊

[@siddharthjain1745]

I remember when he had like a thousand subs and thinking this guy is going to be big!

[@MrMrn87]

Cool project en devLog. Could you please enlighten us how you did the "click and drag" around 3:58. Keep it up!

[@BWDev]

Thanks! That’s an old version of the game but you just take the position of the mouse at mousedown and then use the current position of the mouse while it’s held down and compare to calculate the area in between 😊

[@matthew_tall]

where did this guy go? any chance on returning to this project

[@Pre.Ellis10]

Yeah he made a post he says he might make an update video but the reason he hasnt made a video is with Unitys update.

[@NotePortal]

He lost motivation to work on it but he came back recently after learning more and working at another game dev company.

[@jackmanning2036]

Amazing video. I'm interested in how you created procedural generation is isometric tilemaps. I've tried myself and failed miserably every time.

[@BWDev]

I’m not using the tilemap system, got a script that positions all the tiles!

[@jackmanning2036]

@@BWDev Sounds even more complicated 😂 could you recommend any videos for a beginner demonstrating 2d generation & looking forward to the release of Lumbermill, looking amazing

[@kecoleo5150]

Just starting my game making journey and I was wondering what your background is and how long you have be working on games?

[@BWDev]

I’m studying CS at University - self taught in Unity, but been making games with it for 5 or so years 😊 Doesn’t take long to learn the basics and make a simple game though! Good luck with game making 😁

[@staticaron]

Is every tree a prefabs

[@indieprogress7170]

Looks great so far. How long had you been working on this game, at the time you posted this first video?

This was around a month into development I think!
