i've got columns of chunks working, but they're not really connected at the moment so i gotta fix that next

chunks connect properly now! with bonus shot of the sprawling cave systems beneath the surface

i made a staged chunk generation system where chunks can request their neighbors be generated but only up to a certain stage, which keeps the generation from going infinitely in all directions, because the requested stage must always be lower than the chunk's current stage of generation

you can see through the sides of chunks now because the chunks (correctly!) note that their underground sides faces are obscured. it's just that they're obscured by chunks you can't see because they haven't fully been generated yet

who's got two thumbs and infinitely spawning terrain? this girl
