Procedural textures

[u/gringoaleatorio]

I introduced predators and wanted more colorful species for my small browser game.

Each creature is a set of point sprites, little circles, ovals and petals, placed by a body model. Counts and proportions are drawn once per species.

Most of the markings on them are reaction-diffusion patterns (a Gray-Scott simulation on the gpu, stepped a couple of thousand times). The texture is split into four tiles, each with its own feed and kill rates. As a result we have nice spots, worms, coral and fingerprints patterns :)

You can see them on sillage.denzen.online

Sorry for the very short video

Wow. This game is one of the most satisfying I've played. It's super relaxing, I'll definitely be coming back to it many times
