TECH DEMO: Descent (2025)

Descent is my personal descent into learning procedural terrain generation techniques. It utilizes both hlsl and C# to procedurally generate noise based terrain with multiple optimizations to improve performance, and it's multiplayer :P

(made in unity engine)

Features include:

- Infinitely generating terrain, with generation modifiers controlled by scriptable objects in-engine

- Optimizations such as chunking, LODs, and chunk streaming to improve performance and memory management

- Renders the chunk borders between LOD changes at a higher resolution to help mask stitching

- Implemented multitheading when generating a new chunk or loading chunk data

- Implemented Steamworks networking API to allow friends with a build of the game to join eachother on Steam
