Finally, an update on this thing! Instead of doing actual work, I've been messing with more tree-generating tools.
The sketch-based generators still required too much human input for my tastes, so I wrote a generator that spits out trees with a single click.
The trees in the gif are straight out of the generator, no manual tweaks at all. Not perfect, but not bad at all for requiring one click to make.
@Diff Thanks! My laziness knows no bounds.
@eishiya id like this lil one as a sticker for my laptop.
@Curator I'd love to make stickers one day! Doesn't feel right to merch something that's barely in alpha though. I also don't have any high-res art yet.
Here are a couple of the frames at 10x in case you want to print your own chunky-pixel stickers :D
@eishiya it might be barely alpha but we’ve enjoyed watching them learn to jump from your amazing direction!
@eishiya this looks really cool!
@eishiya This is super cool! I love the trees.
Figures, I forgot to tag this with #ScreenshotSaturday :T
Ah well, here's another gif of the same terribly-designed map.
I still need to add hazy super-background trees, so it's all pretty flat for now.
@eishiya Pretty! I really like where it's going!
@eishiya this is a pretty great start though. I like it
@eishiya The variety of tree types has increased O:
@Glueblade It hasn't, I just didn't show much of the birches and spruces before because the sketch-based generator did a bad job with them :'D
@eishiya at least the variety of presentable tree types has increased :D
@eishiya 🤩 that looks so great!
@eishiya it's beautiful! 😍
@eishiya Hey man that's pretty frickin neato
