I've published a new video about how I've made my procedural mountain forest bigger, better and faster over the past two years: Links to things mentioned in the video My previous video about my procedural mountain forest.

In video game development, we’re used to sound coming from single positions in space, but how do we handle sound coming from an irregular shape?

This blog post and the companion video both explain an erosion technique I’ve worked on over the past eight months.

While working on a novel erosion algorithm last fall (which I'll release at a later time), I developed a directional noise function in the process, which combines various traits of other ones.

I've actually been working on a cool erosion technique I'll post about later, but during some downtime, I had an impulse to see if I could make a basic hair shader that doesn't require any specially made meshes or textures.

I don't know if it's because I come from a supremely flat country, or in spite of it, but I love terrain with elevation differences.

I've just returned from three weeks of vacation in Japan.

For my game The Big Forest I want to have creatures that are both procedurally generated and animated, which, as expected, is quite a research challenge.

Another year went by as an indie game developer and what do I have to show for it?

In 2022 I came up with some new ideas for what kind of game The Big Forest (working title) could be.

The Cluster is finally released and available for free on Itch.

Today is my last day at Unity.

I've completely failed to keep up the posting in 2019, but it's not too late to write at least one post this year!

Since my last post in July where I finally got a vision down for the level design in Eye of the Temple, I've been feeling super productive adding new areas and features to the game.

Let me talk a bit about my workflows for doing level design in Eye of the Temple since I recently had some progress in that area.

It's time for a new update on the development of Eye of the Temple.

Last week I took a dive into the world of PR with Eye of the Temple.

It seems like I didn't blog since July.
