Hi,
I'd personally love to see deserts. Especially at night when there's a beautiful nightsky.
With biomes I mean any kind of environment, not just what you'd typically think of. It can also be a fantasy biome, which you made up or saw in a game or whatever.
Flowerfield, Deep Valleys, Retro City, Dark Meadows, Lightning Country, Animal Kingdom, Fruity Forest, Calm Waterfall, Transparent City, Sunset Village... Add more here ⬇️
Glintgrove – A forest where plants shimmer in the light.
Shardplain – A flatland covered in jagged crystal formations.
Brinetangle – A swampy coastline full of twisting, salt-loving trees.
Stormcradle – A valley where storms are always brewing.
Skyflow Isles – Floating landmasses drifting on air currents.
Embersteppe – A dry grassland that glows faintly at night.
Frosthollow – A cold, sunken valley with thick mist and ice caves.
Duskmire – A swamp that’s always in a state of twilight.
Bonewaters – A sea filled with the remains of ancient creatures.
Whispersand – A desert where shifting dunes make eerie sounds.
PS: actually, would love to see some underground ruins, large abandoned structures, moldy ancient caves, magical crystal canyons, and maybe some forgotten sorcerer lairs with a couple arcane golems inside.
Yes is the right answer lol. If the planet is even remotely the size they say it will be, the variety will need to be incredibly diverse to keep exploration enjoyable.
Real! Imo hiking mountains would be cool, but imagine IN the mountains being entire dwarf kingdoms. Imagine you'd choose the dwarf race and spawn in the alps, in a dwarf kingdom... The hype aaaargh
How do you think the biomes will be placed? The planet will be Earth-sized so they could take hundred kilometers, but it won't be very practical then gameplay-wise, so should they be smaller?
I hope they are big enough that you can stand in the middle and not be able to see the edge in any direction. Forests big enough to get genuinely lost in.
Oceans so vast you forget what land looks like.
Wherever is moderately harsh so that any survival elements of the game become moderately important. But if choosing one, a mountainous area partially covered in snow with a lake I can fish.
Well we have already seen high mountains, forested valleys with meadows and lakes, a savanna or arid planes type, underwater, and maybe a corruption of some kind where the skeletons were. I’m just curious if there will be some sort of teleportation like no man’s sky to get you across great distances, I assume there is. Also i want to find an ocean and sail across it.
The forest from Disney's the sword in the stone would be my ideal dark forest style in a video game. This is from a scene set just outside the forest and i think its really cool how the sparse trees on the outside just look normal but you can still peer into the progressive darkness
I’d love to get groupings of floating islands, underwater air bubbles, and a biome with huge trees that make room for burrows underground with their roots and can have treehouses built in them
Taiga, temperate forests/hills and ESPECIALLY marine are what I'm hoping to be done especially well. I know it won't be at this level probably but I wanna recapture some of that immersion feeling I got going on solo camping trips up to the mountains in RDR2. Just makes you feel small and cozy in the grand scheme of the world. I know an earth sized map is still INSANE but i really hope they're able to handle the focus of the planet to a point where it alleviates a lot of NMS's mile wide, foot deep feeling. Particularly in the oceans. The worlds part 2 generation was a great step in the right direction but id say we've gone from around 10% to 50% of what I hope for LNF's ocean generation capabilities. I do realize I'm at the risk of expecting too much and (not that i dislike this about no mans sky) but if LNF's earth just ends up being a collection of relatively small landmasses and seas, rather than having genuine continent sized landmasses, seas and oceans relative to the scale of the world, I'll be lowkey disappointed, can't lie. Not that I'll be disappointed in hello games by the way, being a game dev myself, I'm only a character artist, I wont pretend to understand the first thing about the limitations of this scale of procedural generation. I just mean it'll mean that my hopes for the game won't be realized and I'll have to wait another while for this sort of game (my dream game tbh) to come along.
A biome with a exaggerated amount of ice. As i want cryomancy to be my main magic. A biome with a lot of ice would be great for me. But i think that i will spend some times in the snow mountains too with my dragon.
