just some requests/questions

hi every1,

I wanted to know how long before we get the caves/tunnelling tool within the editor and would like to request that it be done sooner if its on hold lol :)
also was wondering about voxel based self generating terrain, is it doable or?. can we please have an option that switches terrain from non voxel to voxel maybe please?.
I feel there is such a high demand for this but not much option for it out there, unity has a plugin for it I think but I don't like unity lol.. and other engines like ue4 probably have a option for voxels but I don't know how to use it or have the time/money for such a undertaking with that and similar engines :( or the skill lol.

tbh, I want to be able to dig and tunnel ingame and build and farm resources and make a game like 7days2die or savage lands.
and I think if skyline can deliver this, then all the better :).

thankyou

Yes, we do have the Voxel Terrain planned in. Would be a great addition to skyline.
I haven't seen those games, so i will have a look into them and see what features they are using.

Cutting holes in terrain could be done as smoke and mirrors. If we don't generate physics on a certain set of polygons, you would fall through the floor. Then you could simply apply an invisible material on those segments and it would look and act like a hole but still be polygons there. This also gives the added benefit of being able to replace the hole with solid ground again ;)

We shall think on it and have a look into the system. Just remember that the Terrain, Vegetation & Road system are all needing upgraded and brought up to scratch inside skyline as it is not as performance friendly as it could be. lol :P
