Actually if this had a good export feature, this could be a very useful tool for other level designers to start crafting their imaginary worlds in a way that those worlds make logical sense.

Especially if you could mod in/script/configure strange flora/fauna, this could be a great tool.



You could contact Neal Stephenson and see if he actually wants to build the geologically accurate MMORPG called T'Rain...


know this book wasnt his best, but I really enjoyed it. I wonder if he had heard about dwarf fortress when writing that section


Do you have any idea of what you'd want to import it into?

I get this feedback a lot, but I'm unsure what formats would be most useful- there are a lot of different heightmap / GIS formats to choose from.


if you could export this to unity. It is hugely time expensive to generate realistic terrain, be nice if the water linked in with something like R.A.M 2019 then it would be really quite awesome.
