Newo Sky is a procedurally generated landscape demo and walking simulator, first released for the Bounty 2017 #1 competition. It is dedicated to the memory of Ben “bushing” Byer, who passed away in 2016.
This project is the result of 2 years of experimentation with simplex noise and researching procedural generation techniques. The demo currently runs well, but it lacks collision detection and gameplay elements as the developer found it challenging to implement them while working on the procedural generation aspect. The developer has many screenshots of the demo, and they are willing to share them via email.
The developer hopes that this project will inspire others and that it will provide entertainment for a short period.
Features
- Procedurally generated landscape and planet map
- randomize colour option
- Auto walk and Auto Planet
- Lowpoly environment with lakes, rain, trees, buildings, rocks, grass, orbiting planets, stars and solar systems.
- Background music: "Like Clockwork" by Birds of Paradise
How to play
With the Wiimote horizontally. Dpad moves, 1 shows the planet selection screen and 2 randomizes the colours of the current planet. In the planet selection screen the Dpad allows you to move a cursor that selects another planet once it comes in contact. Press 1 again to exit the planet select menu. The + button brings up the game menu option.
