And I discovered a method, that Is fairly well known about, yet rarely talked about. Either: 1. The game's world shape is constructed using a biome classifier (terrain over biome). "a biome is a result of the shape" OR the inverse: 2. The game's world shape is uniquely constructed from a biome. (biome over terrain). "The shape is result of a biome". This video explores both methods, and I explain why I’m using it in my voxel engine, that I'm building with Rust and the Bevy game engine. #gamedev ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
