I'm developing Cube World, a voxel-based exploration RPG.

Working on the world map: Smooth world map zoom with adaptive level of detail! Also fog of war hiding unexplored areas! #cubeworld #cubeworldomega

Fog of war: At first, only a corner of the castle is visible on the map. As you approach and explore the area, the full structure is revealed. Same for villages and other locations. This is giving you visible destinations while preserving the surprise of discovery. #cubeworld

Cube World Omega is running great on the ROG XBox Ally X, really happy! Getting up to 120 fps and there‘s still room for optimizations. Feels magic playing my game on a handheld.

I had some issues with UE's garbage collector in combination with asynchronously generated meshes. This is how I'm testing it. I think I resolved it.

Working on voxel-by-voxel customization for weapons, armor and jewelry! You can now even remove voxels from the original model and pick colors. Glow-in-the-dark spirit cubes are back, too! ✨ #cubeworld #cubeworldomega

As mentioned in a previous post, NPCs can travel across large distances (several kilometers). I implemented this in my new multiplayer system. All NPC's are controlled by a server. In this test, they all gather at one point and dance when they reach it. #cubeworld #omega

Finally re-added facial expressions that I showed a while back to my new engine. Players and NPCs can blink and look angry, happy, surprised, or sad. I actually only wanted to show you a short clip but ended up making this whole video.😅 Enjoy! #cubeworld #cubeworldomega

Instead of using UE, I built my own Vulkan engine for full control over rendering and memory. Features: - Data-driven rendering - Preallocated arenas, no runtime heap - Cascaded shadow maps - Temporal AA Currently building a fully 3D voxel GUI. #cubeworld #vulkan

Working a lot on dungeons. Here I'm testing patrols: enemy groups that move between locations to make dungeons more challenging. Multiple floors, gates, boss encounters are working, too! ⚙️ #cubeworld #cubeworldomega

Testing NPCs traveling along roads. They use map information to navigate through the world (in this case find the closest road), even when they're kilometers away from the player. When the player gets close, they spawn and use the pathfinding algorithm I mentioned before.

For better visualization during development, I added a map (lower right) that shows how NPCs move (red dots). I my test, they start to walk to the street in the center, then following that street. Next step: zombie herds, bandit gangs, adventurers etc. moving across the map.

Currently working on NPC behavior. I'm enabling them to travel to distant locations across the world, using a high level world map representation that I described in a previous blog post:

Working on pathfinding. It's based on the A* algorithm. For testing purposes I can mark a destination and the algorithm tries to find the best path. Progress is visualized by small cubes. The yellow cubes mark the current best path.

Working on a new technique to generate more stuctured environments, allowing me to control how paths, streets, bridges, caves etc. are connected. I will make a new video and blog post once I added more things like buildings, street lights and so on.
