Make it happen…

More water experiments

Today I did a lot more water experiments, trying out different ways to make the rivers…

The results weren’t very good… Either I have very short rivers (because the water doesn’t have anywhere to go) or I have flooding (the most common result):

I’ve even tried approaching it based on sedimentation and erosion, but the results seems very unpredictable and not too fun…

Of course, I can go back to the initial approach, which is to draw a line through the map, using some better rules for it than I currently do to fix the existing problems, but it also seems like an ugly hack…

Think I have to go back to the drawing board and study how everyone else is doing rivers…

Now listening to “Black Sails at Midnight” by “Alestorm”
