Procedural Building Generator

Hi Developers!

We recently released a free prototype building generator on itch.io, which can be found here:

https://brainybeard.itch.io/building-generator-lite

The tool allows you to create different sized buildings from small homes to large office blocks with potentially thousands of variations, all at the click of a button. We don't create interiors right now, but have received lots of interest for the feature to be added.

As the tool is still only a prototype we are looking for general feedback, bugs and ideas for features in a future complete tool.

Thanks!

 

Hi Devs!

These images should give you a better idea about the different types of buildings that the generator can create.

It's currently limited to small, medium and large buildings as well as several different preset colours that make generating buildings a quick process.

We're still eager to hear feedback, bugs and suggestions!

Thanks

 

Is there any future plans to make the generation adhere to fine-tuned rules?

Such as, I want buildings to be made "here" with these attributes* and so on.

*height (floors), width, rooms etc.

 

Hey thanks for taking an interest in the generator!

There are certainly plans for making the generator more complex with lots more customisation so that you can really generate the right buildings for your game.

Interiors are also something we are looking at, but we want to make interiors that make sense and have logically placed staircases and hallways. A challenge to say the least!

 

Afternoon devs,

Progress is being made on the building builder. We're currently looking at how we can allow the user to customise the types of buildings they want to create. For example do we let them manipulate walls once the building has been generated by dragging them, or do we only allow customisation at a grid level, as shown below.



Speed will be an important factor in the process, so making customisation easy for the user is of the highest importance!

In the mean time we're still kind of amazed at how well the roof algorithm handles weirdly shaped buildings!

 

Great Asset, very interesting ^-^
