WanderWoods

WanderWoods is a chill forest exploration. Take a relaxing walk, explore deep into the brush, or ride a horse down the many paths of this procedurally generated forest.

During the COVID pandemic of 2020 I spent a lot of time walking my dogs in the forest near my house. I saw it change at different hours of the day and throughout the seasons. There was comfort in walking familiar paths, excitement in finding new ones. It was an experience I knew I had to do something with. WanderWoods is my humble attempt at replicating that.

This first version is fairly basic, but I have some fun ideas for things to add over time. Let me know in the comments what you would love to see added.

Finally, a disclaimer: this thing probably requires a pretty beefy computer, with the many many trees and grass it renders. There's a low quality graphics options that I hope helps a little bit, but I'll see if I can optimize it further in the future.
