So in my update yesterday, the game thread was hitting 600ms latency (outrageous, right?) After 24 hours of digging, I've dropped it to a little over 100ms, just by using async workers. Stay tuned for more optimizations. #UnrealEngine5 #gamedev #IndieGameDev

Grass spawn restrictions from spawning using normals and roads. Progress is slow, but it's worth it.

So now that the grass placement is on a worker thread, the calculations for adaptive subdivision need to be on a worker thread to keep the hitching from happening. #UnrealEngine5 #gamedev

The best games usually break all the rules, buck the establishment and don't follow trends. #gamedev #indiegames

Scratch that, 400,000 actors at a time -- so needless to say, looks like the grass is going to require a global shader file -- since a niagara GPU system is impractical, I'm thinking that a custom instanced foliage actor is the best approach.
The adaptive subdivision is driving the grass spawning. I decided to go with HISMs, ran into a hiccup with each vertex spawning an actor (loads 40,000 actors at a time @_@) Next step is fixing that and then using the GPU instead of CPU #UnrealEngine5 #gamedev #indiegamedev

Adaptive subdivision is now operational! Now to run the subdivisions on the GPU to keep these performance dips from stalling the game thread. #gamedev #indiegamedev #UnrealEngine5

How it started vs. how it's going The road system for my infinite terrain generator is doing great! The blend is still ugly af tho #IndieGameDev #gamedev #indiegames

The infinite terrain generator now has a road system. I'm not overly enthusiastic about that blend, so that's going to be the first thing to go. #UnrealEngine #UE5 #indiegamedev

After taking a break from the headache of optimizing the foliage (even the word migraine would be too modest), I felt that the mountains weren't mountainous enough. Then I found an issue with the seam stitching. #UnrealEngine5 #gamedev #indiegamedev

Not a progress update, just a recap on the to-do list - Align the grass to the terrain normals - Splat maps and biomes I already know when I start varying the noise texture it will introduce some stitching issues. #UnrealEngine #UnrealEngine5 #UE5 #gamedev #indiegamedev

Today's to-do list: Align grass to normals Tessellate terrain LODs by distance. Splat maps Biomes #gamedev #indiegamedev

Infinite terrain has foliage and averages 60-70 fps After I start restricting the slope, it should trim down the numbers and bump up the frame rate slightly. #UnrealEngine #UnrealEngine5 #UE5 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev

The infinite terrain generator is almost finished! Runs at 90 FPS All that is left is spawning foliage without causing an access violation. #UnrealEngine #UnrealEngine5 #UE5 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev

It is kind of funny that someone said I didn't know what I was talking about -- but here it is, using commutative rings to generate landscape "chunks"

Now that it achieved 90fps, thinking of adding a tessellation function and another noise function to add variation and allow for higher fidelity closer to the camera. After that it's foliage and biomes.

The infinite terrain generator works, but good gravy the hitches are TERRIBLE! #UnrealEngine5 #gamedev #indiegame #IndieGameDevs
