What should i added on this Island generation?

Hello!
I made a island generation system as of last time it doesnt look good! It uses perlin noise and lots of triangle calculation using nodes! Currently i was testing and having fun on the island but i feel like something is missing. I let the AI generated a picture and this is what i got. The point is to find what is missing for my game.


So i began of adding more trees and decorations. But it still doesnt look like a island. I have no idea but to come to creations feedback and ask you guys! Anyway heres the overall island picture of my game!





this is the part where i was feeling like its missing.



overall this is the entire island generation

as you can see. It looks really bland for a island! Im currently out of ideas right now so i need your help!
Thanks!

This looks amazing! First, I would find a way to prevent the palm trees from spawning in the water. Second, try making the objects’ sizes different for each one. For example, one could be the default size * 1.1 or *0.9. Also, try making the island less round. I would make it the shape of an atoll. Also, try adding some shrubs and grasses.

Looks pretty good, although i concur with what @UBERsnosluoc said earlier and limit the palm trees to only spawn on the island. Probably a good idea to make variations of the trees aswell by changing the size and rotation by a bit.

Thanks also with @DeltaBloxier , I agree on the palm spawning on water too because it doesnt sound too realistic! So i added a mangroove tree to spawn instead on the water! The model might not be good. But i did spent a time in it!




I’ll reconsider about the more shape on the island. Since its possible. But the generation will need to get a huge update. Anyway thanks for the comment! If any people have more suggestion, feel free to leave it below!

This island generation looks GREAT! Good job on it! I don’t know if there is anything else you could add to it. Will it be used in anything?

Thanks! And yes, I’ll be adding building system to make player build their favourite stuff in the island! I think you can decorate, adventure, build stuff as a final goal. But things can change!

Alright. I updated the the algorithm so it uses more perlin noise into it too!
Heres the updated the result






If any of you guys want to give me more suggestion, please to drop it down below!

This looks amazing! Are you planning on releasing this as a game?

If you are considering releasing this as a plugin:

  • The ability to change the models (use ur own basically)
  • more island shapes
  • change style (low poly, realistic etc Can be done by changing the textures i believe)

this is really good and looks natural, it’s a good nature scene too! I really love how the shores generate, but some of the trees being in water looks a bit out of place like these ones, I think just rocks would fit some better, since it’s in an ocean and not a swamp, and trees usually grow out of water in swamps.

If this were a game I would check it out.

Yes. I have a game on right now for me to relax. But it currently experienced heavy bugs. So I think i’ll put the game link later!

Thanks for the feedback! However I was thinking not to release this plugin because I was planning to do it as a full game. But thanks for information on the feedback! Appreciate it! :heart_eyes:

Hello! I was thinking about this placement like you since its placement its kinda weird, however I remember reading about mangroove trees on the internet and found out that it actually grows on the shorelines! heres a UNEP writing about mangroove.
this is the one I found on wikipedia

But I can see that mangroove trees doesnt spawn very common so I will try to adjust the spawn rate! Thanks for your feedback!

That looks absolutely amazing! Especially the middle part. Also, good job on the water color, looks tropical and super relaxing. The one thing that I’d do different is the mangrove trees. Maybe change them with a slightly “brighter” tree, mangrove kinda reminds me of swamps. Maybe leave them mangrove but make the leaves transparent so their shade looks less sad

add the spiky plant looking things and make all the green lighter. all i can suggest

make the rocks more brown too

Reminds me of Pineapple on Pizza. Maybe you can take inspiration from that game…

Thanks for your feedback! I added more trees type and also your rock colors idea too!


I think this looks very good. Unfortunately, more details will include more lag so i decide to increase the sand area. This work very effectively!

Yea a lot of people been asking me about the mangrooves too! So I currently feel like it looks terrible so i decide to remove from the game. But thanks for your feedback!

That’s unfortunate, I would pay for a plugin like this if it had more features.
Good luck with development tho, if you ever change your mind message me and I will probably buy
