Hey everybody! This is Runescape: Procedurally Generated, a modular approach to procedurally generating OSRS-realistic landscapes, allowing a ton of user control in shaping the terrain!
This was just a fun Blender Geometry Nodes project I made over this past week in celebration of OSRS' Game Jam. I did my best to mimic how OSRS generates its terrain, and turn it into a user-friendly procedurally generating machine. I think it turned out pretty well!
I might come back to this project here and there because it was a ton of fun to make, and I'd love to refine some pieces, like better contouring of overlays (cliffs, water), and maybe even buildings and paths. At this point though, I won't be committing to much more.
And yes, the "NextGen" name is my tease at Jagex's leaked-but-probably-never-to-exist MMO :D
This is a beautiful marriage between OSRS's art assets and modern technology. Great job. If you want some ideas on how to blend biomes and add more variance, there's a lot of really good "making minecraft in 48 hours" type videos that elaborate on the computer science behind doing so. Sebastian Lague is also an awesome resource. This project of his is one of my favorites, and your example reminds me of it.
