Terrain Generation

After several days of coding Goss has finally ended up with a quality product for the terrain generation. We have caves that appear below ground, snow that spawns at the 125 block range and above, and lastly we have cliffs and mountain tops. Obviously this is not all we plan to achieve but for the time being this is a rather big step in the right direction of progression. Goss will be working to resolve any known issues with the terrain settings as well as creating the rules that will govern them.

What do you mean riuthamus?
It is our hope that the players can create biomes of their own by simply placing a certain amount of blocks of a specific time in that chunk. Doing so will modify the chunks terrain type; thus allowing the players to create their very own biomes. Here are some screenshots to show you what the cave systems can look like.

Looking good!
Very cool! :D
Thank you, we should have some more screenshots and information by the end of the night!
Awesome!! :D
I'm liking this, the game will have fictitious biomes?

an example not so good is the minecraft mooshroom biome, but what I really mean is, the biomes will be entirely based on real world ones? or you will add your own like, say, giant fluctuating hedrons?

also, someone know how i 'follow' a developer diary?

click that and in the upper right click the follow blog!

Yes we have plans of having non natural biomes. Although, those are going to be in different world/realms. Right now we are working on the generation of trees! ( the model you are about to see is not the real one... it is something we cooked up in 5 min or less )
