Village Generator

I love how flexible this tool is! I used it to generate a tiny village for a small game I made last year, Sugar in Shadows. Sadly I ended up cancelling the game, but I'll definitely use this generator again!

I like the tool, so I want to show that there is an issue in this example. https://watabou.github.io/village-generator/?seed=610828546&tags=estuary,grove,h...

I've been using you generators for my games for years. Currently running a Kids on Bikes game and this generator and been super helpful. I was cobbling together neighborhoods before you released this one. 

I don't know why I'm commenting. I guess just to say thanks. You out a lot of work into this and I hope you know how appreciated all that time and effort is.

Have you considered adding an option to the Medieval Fantasy City Generator that increases the resolution/quality to the same level as the village/cave/glave generators? You can get about 40-50% of the way there with presets and other options, but I'd love to make a city with the level of quality of some of these maps on this page (especially the night options).

Would you consider increasing the maximun city size?

Have you ever thought about uploading an image—like a sketch—and having it processed into a 3D model? I tried something like that with AI once, but the results were rubbish, and it didn't understand me either.

Would you consider opening up the source code for this? I am very intrigued as to how you accomplished the road network generation and would love to learn!

Any chance we could get a few more selectable building types ??  Specifically I'm thinking of a couple of shapes that might represent a windmill, large tavern/inn or a farmhouse ??

I would like to use the maps generated on this for making patreon posts. I am building content of one shots and skill challenges and think this is the most amazing tool every. I will absolutely always give you credit with links to your work.

I was trying to find any disclaimer or licensing agreements

can you reload a previously made one with the json?

Is there any possibility to just show the population without the village name?

How to remove bridges?

I can't get this to work properly on Firefox, but it works apparently just fine on chrome. what is going on?? Chrome it works just fine, but it's slow and laggy.

Awesome tool! is there a way for me to generate just the json from an api call or something in my playcanvas game? I would love to have totally ranom maps for my quest game. Happy to pay if i get traffic!

Kind of weird that "grove" option usually makes there be *less* trees, as big masses of trees are not generated

Hello! Great generator, but I am wondering if it was possible to import a previous map into the generator outside of the link being saved? Thanks

This is a great generator! I would like a zoom feature however other than that its perfect

Could there be a mountain generation option for towns next to mountains or rivers that come from mountains? :D

Very handy program but for some reason the "roads=####" parameter in the generated url doesn't seem to register. Whenever I try to open a bookmark to a village where I've re-rolled the village it always returns to the default road layout and the "roads=####" part vanishes from the url.

Hello. Would it be possible to change the background color to match different terrains, like deserts or mountainous regions?

Sometimes I'll get a generation that's near-perfect, but it has a road or a river that's just not quite where I'd like it to be in comparison to a world map I'm trying to match it to. Would it be possible to add an option to place guide markers so users can give a general idea where they want these roads and rivers to meet the edges of the map? Ofc I could also just sit here for 3 hours clicking "generate" until I find one that actually is perfect.

And/or something similar to the Warp feature in the City generator so you can manipulate stuff around.

hello, would it at all be possible to add an option to hide the roads in the village. I see the option to remove driveways, but completely hiding roads would be nice for making something like a raider or bandit camp in the woods.

Some little troubles with JSON file...

Hi Watabou,

Still using the VG with my greatest satisfaction. Congrat !

I am using some JSON exports of VG. I analyze them and create splatmap in UNITY. I am able to create different textures for different features (water, fields, square, ...). I have troubles with the "water" MultiPolygon geometry, in case of tag "island".

Here the PNG :

And a splatmap of the polygons of "water", except the last polygon :

It seems that, contrary to other generations ("pond", "river", ...), in case of "island", the last polygon being equal to "earth", the logic is "earth", minus previous polygons ? Is it correct ?

I have an other question. In a generation with tag "estuary", I got that :

And the splatmap of all polygons of "water" is :

Seems good. But I also draw vertices of each polygon (not obvious to see, but they are the small yellow points). I got "extra" points. Are they still polygons of something ?

Best Regards

Mallatius

donde lo Puedo descargar para usarlo sin interne?

This is such a great creation, thanks for all your work on this it is much appreciated. I have used it in my adventures and would certainly send you a copy if you would like to see it. I made sure to link to your page here.

First of all, amazing work! Thank you Watabou for creating such a beautiful and inspiring tool.

I noticed that most of the houses in the generator are positioned perpendicular to the road. In reality, some houses are often parallel to the road as well. Have you considered adding an option to let users customize the orientation of the houses? I think it could add even more flexibility and realism to the tool.

Thanks again for your wonderful creation!

Hi, love your work and really happy to see back to back updates for the village generator :)

I was wondering, do you planned to add the warps options from the city generator to the village one ? Or would it be too hard to do ?

Hello,

Thank you for your great generator!

Would be cool to choose between various aspect ratios, when I print a map on a4 paper there is a lot of unused blank space
