BWDev | Creating a Living Forest Simulation for my Indie Game @BWDev | Uploaded October 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Lumbermill's forest simulation has always lacked saplings and older trees dying - key parts of the lifecycle. In this Unity Indie Game devlog I implement a complete forest lifecycle simulation and some other important features!

⮞ Description ⮜
Since the beginning of this project, I've always intended for there to be a full forest lifecycle, including older trees naturally dying off and younger trees appearing on the forest fringes. For various reasons I've put that off though, but have now implemented a complete asynchronous simulation - meaning trees will constantly regenerate without hitting the game's performance. I've also added market price calculation for items, item sprites, and three new variations on a very commonly requested machine!

If you're new to the channel, welcome! I'm a full time Indie Game developer working in Unity 2D. Lumbermill is my main project - a management/factory builder game, which I began work on in Feb 2019. I aim to release devlogs on that project every few weeks, so keep an eye out for those!
