I've been wanting to make a raycaster-style 3D RPG for a long time. This devlog is to capture my progress toward that dream.

I started off by making a simple dungeon generator that randomly places room rectangles. A random location inside the room is selected as an anchor point. The distances between all anchor points are calculated and used to create a minimum spanning tree. Then elbow paths are used to make hallways for the connections in the MST.


I then used this grid to create a binary space partition tree and build up convex rectangular volumes. Volumes are then drawn using raycasting.


Here's how it's looking in game so far.


For the outside I've been working on a voxelspace-style engine. I randomly generate an island terrain, then solve for the surface using cubic spline interpolation. The texture of the voxel is based on elevation and the slope right now, so that there are exposed rock walls. Coloring uses angle to the sun as well as atmospheric attenuation.
