Procedural Metropolis: recap!

After 5 days from its release, let's do a recap of the situation :)
The Procedural Metropolis has been a real success, having already reached more than 100 diamonds and almost 500 downloads.
Can you imagine all the different cities that exist right now in the world?


Thanks again for all the comments, messages and positive feedback received, it really makes it worth it!

The Hall of Fame
Also, there's already a name on the Hall of Fame!
Congratulations to MPendragon413 who succeeded in finding the "THING" I hid in the vast city. He has been very smart and persistent in winning in less than 24 hrs after the release.
Will others be able to succeed too?

The presentation stream is now also available on youtube, in case you missed it!


Now what?
Well, the city is complete, but there are still some things I'd like to add, like decorations on the roads and I also want to experiment and optimize certain advanced configurations of the whole architecture, this to increase house shape variety and the whole structure of the average road network.

But before that, I'm working on another project, a smaller one. I can't tell you much for now because it's still quite secret, but it isn't a self replicating machine, technically, it's something new, never seen before for sure. I'm still not sure about what to do with it but I see potential. I would've never thought to see in this game something like what I'm witnessing now in the KS project.

See you soon,

Procedural Metropolis releasing today!

Follow the stream event today at 16.00EST - 22.00CET on twitch.tv/gheppio to be part of the interactive presentation of the Procedural Metropolis, a self-building urban environment with more than 300 buildings from over 50 different builders.

While you're waiting, take a look back at the first announcement trailer for the Infinity project, where everything begun, it was also featured on the PMC Weekly of August 17th 2019.
As you can see it was very mysterious!

See you later!

Live stream and release this Friday!

Procedural Metropolis release and presentation stream!

Keep calm! The city is not finished yet, and there's still a lot to do for me.
Anyway, I estimate that it'll be completed in a week!
I'm planning to do a short presentation this Friday on twitch, just before the release: www.twitch.tv/gheppio
Since the work is not done yet, other news will follow in the next days.

Here's the official list of all the 342 builds included into the city:

And here is the gallery with all the respective certificates of admission:

Status report: a multidimensional caretaker

Here's the update on the situation!
All the 342 buildings have been pre-processed already, I've checked every corner looking out for possible bugs.
As I imagined, water creates glitches when in contact with stair and slabs, so the pasted buildings are flooded! (Look at the examples below :O)
I had to make some little corrections to some builds to avoid these problems (don't worry, we're talking about very little and discrete changes, all of them will be listed and available to check when the work will be done)
Looking after all these builds in these many worlds, checking everything to fix it and make the buildings shine, makes me feel like a very peculiar caretaker: it's my responsibility to take care after all your builds until the city gets delivered back to you! :-D

Now I'm proceeding to save the assets into the Infinity Matrix, the procedure consists in saving the builds in small batches and then test the integrity and the city generation with only the newly added buildings. Newly found bugs in the builds or in the machine are then corrected. Above you can see a batch of builds passing through my laboratory; after they've been checked a city will be created in a separate world containing these builds only, as a final testing field to look for the last eventual abnormalities.
When all the batches will be included, I'll reconfigure the machines to work at full capacity and the city will be ready!
At the moment, more or less the 50% of the assets has been already included, they still need to be tested though.
A new update will arrive soon!


(floods are the result of a minecraft bug on how water is handled by stairs/slabs placed by commands/structure blocks. Small changes allow to avoid the bug from happening)
