Developer Journey Timeline
Phase 2: Quick Wins
Split tree density controls from global scatter density, relaxed biome thresholds, and made separation adaptive to forest factors.
Phase 3: Structural Improvements
Introduced macro patch seeding, distance-based falloff, and per-patch quotas to preserve smaller forest islands.
Phase 4: Performance and LOD
Extended tree render ranges, validated GPU placement grid limits, and aligned WebGPU scatter LOD behavior.
Phase 5: Validation
Completed biome checklists, density targets by map size, and before/after capture tracking for visual regression control.
Roadmap: What Comes Next
Now
- Stabilize current impact effects and combat readability.
- Harden performance around large mixed battles.
- Expand automated visual and behavior gate checks.
Next
- Iterate unit behavior map and tactical overlays.
- Improve progression of map generation and strategic features.
- Tighten menu-to-match startup flow and UX consistency.
Later
- More content depth: units, factions, and map set expansion.
- Long-form balancing and scenario-driven testing.
- Production-ready deployment pipeline and release cadence.
