i made fully working infinite terrain generation in #deadlock

ur fuckin insane bro

Ok there's NO WAY you're adding a full daylight cicle to this bro

this is a good idea

what the fuck does deadlock have any limits or things that it just won’t do that you’ve found?

yes, Deadlock's engine restricts the playable area to a ±16,000 unit box, which translates to ~36 chunks. to work around this, technically, players are strapped into 'omni-treadmills' to traverse the voxel worldspace while barely moving in Deadlock's engine 😁

@lilactreegirl How would this look with more than one player? I’d assume they’d have to be in the same 36 chunk area, unless you can do even more black magic and have each player have their own voxel world space.

they do have to share! controlling what exactly is networked to each client however, technically, every player has their own 'treadmill', and when more than one player is in the same place their treadmills merge and they share the same worldspace 😁 in practice, the goal is for it to feel exactly like multiplayer Minecraft does!

@other__reality @lilactreegirl So what happens if they go completely opposite directions?

@other__reality @lilactreegirl then they get further from each other in the voxelspace! they'll always be in their own treadmills until they meet each other in voxelspace again.

At this point I actually am starting to think this is AI or After effects or some other kind of faking it because all of this just feels like too grand of an accomplishment I mean what the hell IS next????

i have some ideas

what no patch does to deadlock players

we are gonna get bed wars in deadlock before actual deadlock releases

jesus fucking christ dude

dude

I swear I'm gonna look at this in a year or so and y'all are gonna have remade gregtech in Deadlock.

Does this work with multiplayer

But the question is, can you make a redstone circuit in deadlock?

you will enjoy my previous tweets 😁

Good now make a redsnote Pc in deadlock Minecraft that plays deadlock 😈😈😈😈

What's next, mobs?

you will enjoy my previous tweets 😁

i've seen quite a number of replies using this demo as ammo against Mojang's voxel engine, and while some might be in jest, i'd like to share some technical details i think should be kept in mind: 1. while i am maximizing Deadlock's default render distance in this demo, the render distance is very short, equivalent to a Render Distance of 8 in Minecraft. the PS3 version of Minecraft launched in 2013 with a render distance of 10. 2. while this *is* infinite terrain generation, this implementation is extremely simple -- it's just a noise function, a water floor, and one biome (plains). Minecraft's generation is many many many more steps beyond this and performance WILL get worse as more is added. 3. this demo is running on a machine with an i9-14900k and RTX 5090. this project is for fun! let's keep it that way

So this proves that Source 2 can create giant maps like GTA 6? Without loading screens like in Gold Source (hl2) ?

so like... when will you get minecraft mods working? maybe something like opencomputers or smth so we can play deadlock inside minecraft inside deadlock

ship of the theseues

Minecraft: Source 2 over here

If in the future I see ForgeLabs post a video titled "100 Days in Hardcore Deadlock Minecraft" I know who the fuck made the mod.

how about you get a job gang

I write medical software used by millions every day! I just do this for fun 😁

Oh yeah? How about you get yourself a loving partner then gang?

i do we just renewed our lease!

Oh ye? How about you get yourself wife then gang?

fuckk 🥀🥀

that what i FUCKING thought gang

Does it retain shape or is it just generating new terrain every time?

The chunks are generated based on a seed, and altered chunks are saved to disk. The world is fully persistent 😁

So this is it right? This is the peak right now? Everything has been stuck to the original map, but here it's finally breached that limit? Let's fucking go???

this is not the peak 😁

Next you're gonna add the infamous Herobrine spot and maybe Herobrine himself

WHAT

You really just said "Screw you I'm going to go play Minecraft". XD Makes me think of the clips from the Lazy Purple TF2 videos.

While Deadlock playerbase scares me to the extremes, it makes me amazed as to how far the Source 2 engine is pushed to it's limits, let alone something thats not on s&box.

is this still Source 2 wtf

Holy shiiz you kept supprising us over and over again.

That's insane

Yo where the FCK is the Troubadour

people be doing anything but defending green walker </3

What you think someone is gonna make a infinite terrain generation out of nowhere, are u kidding me??!?

@ToxicAssWhore what the fuck you’re goated

You might be the goat

I'm sorry what and how?
