That "Carcassonne" game sounds really fun. I'd never heard of it before.

Super awesome, love the tilt-shift camera effect!

I was also wishing I could zoom in to human size and run around HAHAHA

Model synthesis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_synthesis :

> Model synthesis (also wave function collapse or 'wfc') is a family of constraint-solving algorithms commonly used in procedural generation, especially in the video game industry.

> [...] One of the differences between Merrell & Gumin's implementation and 'wave function collapse' lies in the decision of which cell to 'collapse' next. Merrell's implementation uses a scanline approach, whereas Gumin's always selects as next cell the one with the lowest number of possible outcomes

And then `## Developments` mentions:

This looks amazing man, seriously good job with this.

Made me smile. Thank you!

Gorgeous

Beautiful work!

This is cool. Curious if you plan on keep it as a map generator or turn it into something more interactive too.

Related (?) has anyone else been following the Hytale Worldgen v2? They've built a visual node editor so anyone can create biomes, structures, or complete worlds. I believe there is a competition going on right now.

They are essentially making the entire game based on similar concepts and then using them to develop their core content. Simon is an inspiration and has said they won't be taking investor money so they can stay true to the users and creators.
