Newo Sky is a procedurally generated landscape demo/walking simulator. First released for the GBAtemp Bounty 2017 #1. In memory of Ben “bushing” Byer, who passed away on Monday, February 8th, 2016.

The project is roughly 2 years of tinkering around with simplex noise and watching tonnes of videos related to procedural generation. It runs well most of the time but I have yet to add collision or any sort of gameyness to it because just the simple act of getting the procgen working was a hair pulling activity for me.

If you want to see more screenshots drop me a email - I have tonnes. Too bad they max out at 640x480. Hopefully this project inspires someone and people find it entertaining if even just for a little bit.
