Meridian / Procedural authoring

Implemented foundation

Alluvium

/əˈluː.vi.əm/

An implemented foundation for canonical recipes, strict scalar evaluation, stable generated identity, cache recovery, CLI work, and a basic inspector; production integrations remain ahead.

01 / Purpose

Build large worlds without making their source mysterious.

An implemented foundation for canonical recipes, strict scalar evaluation, stable generated identity, cache recovery, CLI work, and a basic inspector; production integrations remain ahead.

02 / Ambition

Plants, terrain, and generated work that remain editable and explainable.

The technical guide keeps current implementation and long-term direction separate.

  1. 01

    Procedural plants and ecosystems with stable generated identity

  2. 02

    Terrain, materials, weathering, and environmental recipes in one traceable pipeline

  3. 03

    Hand-authored overrides that survive regeneration

  4. 04

    Cooked results that do not force the authoring system into shipped games

03 / Direction

Grow from strict recipes into a complete authoring system.

  1. Environmental proving recipes and public-safe corpus
  2. Terrain, vegetation, material, and weathering integrations
  3. Native visual authoring and runtime-safe recipes
  4. Measured execution expansion where evidence justifies it
