The full project is still in development, but this demo has been released to whet your appetite.
Here, you can enter and explore a procedurally generated world that uses machine learning to create a dynamic planet in real time.
According to the details on theSteampage, this technology will help build a planet measuring 510 million km² (200 million square miles).

The company promises to build on Melba and continue to bring updates to this demo, so players can see how the upcoming game will utilise the technology.
It’s very bare bones at the moment, but there’s some promise in what’s on display.
The team is open to communication from the community to gather tips for future builds, as well as wants and needs.
It’s clear this will be an evolving project and there is no set date for the finished game which will utilise Melba, nor when updates will come down the pipe.

The screenshots are pretty sparse, but this is a very early look.
I can imagine that in a few months time we’ll be getting a better look at a detailed world that will give big RPGs such asSkyrima run for their money.
