since I have to reduce the complexity a lot to get low poly models, there is always geometry to fix manually. For 90% or so Blender does an awesome job.

Working on some additional models for my game. Yes: there will be dogs!

I finally added my first fully AI generated 3d model to my game and this is awesome! No need for 3d artists anymore.
#gamedev #ai

From 2D AI generated image to AI generated high poly 3D model in minutes. Not bad artwork for a developer 😉
#gamedev #blender #ai

I added some rivers today. Fertile land for establishing new cities. 🛖🏞

Where should Vienna build the Hunter building?
(yes I know there are only placeholder for now)

First try to use Blender MCP to generate 3D objects for my AI generated 2D assets....well....🤔
#gamedev #ai #blender

Some stone age settlements with random low poly house models. I think this is a nice place to build my empire.
#gamedev #onemoreturn #hexagon

I created my first 3d city today. Currently only from one building model (more will follow). From above it lools like rabbit droppings 🤣

Fixed my tree issue, now the map looks quite nice.
Forests, Jungles, Desert. Cities are next!

Plant a tree they said, this will look incredible they said....

If the content department is not yet ready, simply insert placeholders as a developer.

First test of 3D map. Basics work. Quite good, but there is obviously potential for improvement.
#gamedev #hexagon

Working on a low poly heightmap on a hexagon. Yes, you are right: I on the move to switch my game into 3rd dimension 💪🏻

2 weeks vacation and I have new ideas for my game. I'm planning new features.
#gamedev #onemoreturn

Switched from Photoshop to Gimp and I have never regretted it. Works fine for me and is better suited for my hobby project. #gamedev

I'm doomed 🤣 maybe too much random in this map... #gamedev #onemoreturn

Since I'm finalising save/load methods for my upcoming game, I also enjoy top down views of different maps. This is my world, and I'm it's god 💪🏻 #gamedev #hex #onemoreturn

First draft of new game menu. it is now possible to set all values for player and map generator that currently exists. #gamedev

First draft of the main menu of my game...added awesome music and ken burns effect. What do you think? Do you want to click on 'New Game'??? #gamedev #4x #onemoreturn

Friday night and I'm working on my hobby project again. This time adding Save and Load.
#gamedev

This week I added city population to my 4x game. There will be different improvements to them and they are influenced by availability of goods (like in Anno). This example shows a happy Pioneer and an angry Merchant. Class is indicated with different houses.

A month without news? Sorry, my 4X game project is not dead...it is alive, but I'm working with my coworker on economy basics, there is nothing visually to show. #gamedev #cats

Current progression of combat computation. This is what I do...place some units, test combat on different terrains, tweak and repeat 🤣 I hope the final game makes as much fun
This video is double speed

the terrain tiles are not final, there will also be an update

I recently updated some graphics. You can see that a fisher's hut can be built and a city can build houses (different images, the one with obelisk defines the capital city).
#gamedev #hexagon #civ

yes 💪🏻

Added a rudimentary tech tree and a new UI element for it. Not much to see here, but a lot is going on in codebase.
#4xgame #gamedev #godot

Latest update of my 4X game. It is now possible to attack enemy cities.
