Overview

A 3D single-player first-person movement shooter with parkour mechanics with a focus on a large scale simulation combined with emergent behaviors to provide a unique sandbox. Due to it's highly ambitious nature, I've kept this on the backburner whilst I work on other projects and develop my skillset. I've slowly been exploring this idea every now and then with small scale prototypes, such as an early stage procedurally generated urban environment using various papers on the topic as reference/inspiration. Or figuring out local coordinate space physics movement for trains and pathfinding to pre-determined stations with consideration to avoid collisions with other trains whilst still maintaining an optimal route. I've also done significant work on a robust AI system to drive the large amounts enemies that I want to have in the world and behave in diverse ways. These prototypes have also been spread across both Unity and Godot, and I've been slowly porting and reworking various parts such as the player controller and AI systems (read the related devlog here) to Godot since I've been using it more frequently as of late. It's still very free-form as this is a low-priority project, but I'm still having a ton of fun exploring concepts with the overall idea in mind!

Demo

Procedural Generation

City road generation running in a single-threaded coroutine. Mesh generation takes around 80% of the frame time here, so there are improvements to be made before adding more generation steps such as plots, building exteriors, interiors, etc
