A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Wilderness Sim

Under Construction

Welcome to Wilderness Sim, an exciting project that takes you on a journey through a procedurally generated wilderness! Currently in development, this game aims to recreate and expand upon the mechanics of the original Wilderness game, bringing new features and improvements for an immersive survival experience.

Project Overview

Join us as we develop a dynamic, block-based world with advanced rendering, lighting, and terrain generation. Here are some of the key elements we are working on:

  • Dynamic Lighting: Implementation of a simple yet effective lighting algorithm influenced by the sun's position and player-placed lanterns.
  • Terrain Generation: Procedural generation of terrain with realistic height variations, with future plans for custom ore generation and cave biomes.
  • Multithreading: Seamless chunk loading  to ensure smooth gameplay.

Current State

We are continuously working on refining the game's core mechanics, fixing bugs, and adding new features. Here's a glimpse of what's currently implemented:

  • Terrain generation with smooth height transitions.
  • Lighting effects based on the sun's direction and player-placed light sources.
  • Initial world rendering and chunk management.
  • A large amount of different items for building and development
  • Multiple modes including survival and creative

The game is also still currently closed source but that may change in the future! ;)

Future Plans

As we move forward, we plan to introduce:

  • More Vegetation to enhance the wilderness environment.
  • Underground and above ground structures for exploration.
  • More complex terrain features and biomes.

Revisit the old!

Here I will link the initial scratch game that started this all!

To build yourself (if the project isn't operating correctly or you may be missing dependancies):

Run prepforlinux.sh (either by making it an executable by right clicking and going to item properties or doing it via terminal) Then run runforlinux.sh which builds the code and runs it.
