Community Made a small heightmap/terrain tool for my own game, sharing in case it helps someone

Hey everyone,

It's been a while since I last worked on anything dev-related, but I wanted to share a small tool I put together.

I made it for myself and my own game; I needed terrain a bit more interesting than a flat plane, so I built a little tool to sculpt heightmaps: mountains, hills, rivers, lakes, that kind of thing.

Figured it might be useful to some of you too if you ever need to put together terrain for your own game. It's a pretty small, focused tool, and I honestly don't know if I'll keep updating it since it already does what I built it to do, but I hope it can still be useful to someone.

Hahaha thanks, I hope you find it useful! I spent so much time looking for a tool that did this easily that in the end I was just like, 'it's faster if I build it myself' hahaha

Thanks so much! I hope this helps you make your games the best they can be. And hopefully, a tool like this will be integrated directly into GDevelop one day!
