I’ve starterd some major work into dungeon generation. Using a room first generation tactic and using an alogrithim to connect each room together. Using a workers type model to generate rooms tile by tile in random directions through out generations of these workers to make a more random type of room. By serializing the variables it makes it very easy to tweak what these rooms start to look like.
