Skylands
Another variant of my limitless terrain generator, as first seen in The Forest.
This time you start in a helicopter in a gap between floating islands. You can go up or down by using PgUp/PgDn keys and arrow keys move you around (or click the buttons).
You can land on the islands and explore them. There is also the usual orienteering-style map.
This was inspired by seeing the "Sky Island Jam" on itch yesterday. It only took a few hours to modify my program (it's just vanilla JS using 2D canvas). I was amused to see how the underside of my terrain looked.
The only changes that had to be made to the code of The Forest were
• to raise the water level to make islands in a sea rather than lakes in land,
• to not paint the sea but allow the background sky to show through,
• to enable helicopters to go below the water level when not over an island, and
• to not allow a helicopter to go up through the bottom of an island.
Note that in the Engineering role you can click on points on the map to
construct roads and they may form bridges between islands.
