That One Guy Who Never Pledges

I'm trying to be patient here, but where's the public version of the story mode update? You said the public version would be released "shortly after", but it's been more than 2 weeks since the patron release and we've still got nothing.

Thanks, I skimmed it. The technique he uses is a heightmap. It's a great technique, but it doesn't allow for caves and buildings and such.

He has a couple of series on making terrains. One was more 3D minecraft based, while the other was more 2D. Sounds like exactly what you're going through right now, so thought you might find reading through his notes useful.

If you're willing to accept a "stage by stage" approach, you could do one system for stage 1 and the other for stage 2 and make stage 1 all outside and stage 2 all inside, or separate by transitions or some such. Not sure if that would make integrating any easier but that way you wouldn't have to have the 2 systems in direct conflict with each other at any rate.
