This guy has some cool blog entries about all kinds of procedural stuff (for a game engine)

They're basically constrained writing exercises. You can pretty much write anything you want with them or you can make up some rule to choose a specific suggestion every time, but there's very little "generation" going on.

I think "random" humor is super hard to do well, but you can use "tricks" like having an NN or Markov generator spit weird poo poo at you, and it'll manage to pass the lame bar. Like imagine that Coachella roster written by hand, it would be incredibly try-hard and have very few actually funny band names.

I called it constrained writing earlier in the thread, which I still think it is (they're very often heavily curated), but they do hit the funny bone more often than not.

& Yeah, Woebin: You're right that it's not 100% handmade.

There's some great ones where they combine two corpora, such as the erowid recruiter (drug trip reports + recruiter emails):

Probably curated as well, but they're excellent.

Was it OCRed? OCR to machine translation is a lot of fun to deal with.

That's good but seems generated, not "procedurally" generated. A random algorithm didn't come up with that :(

yeah, that seems a posteriori or whatever its called


Besesoth posted:

It's much simpler than anything else posted here, but I've been fooling around with procedural generation and one of the first things I did was create a script that generates randomized cave maps, by creating a random grid and iteratively smoothing until it looks nice. I'm not sure they'd work for roguelikes - they're not directed enough - but they feel like they could be fun for an exploration platformer like Metroid.

I've got a bot (recently rescued from a crash) posting them here. Some examples:





nice! look into Voronoi tessellation and also an Italian(?) whose name I forgot (not Fibonacci)

Now for them to train it on not just the two image files (landscape and screenshot) but also include the 3D block data file that generated the screenshot. Do that one in reverse and turn landscape paintings into explorable in-game content.

Reminds me of Captain Blood which was a pretty weird game where you explored a galaxy looking for the eponymous captain or something. The manual was just a single sheet of paper & there are pretty much no in-game hints I spent a lot of time just aimlessly visiting identical planets and talking to weird aliens using an icon-based system.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cm1K-tMkHc&t=329s

Sometimes the aliens seem pretty intelligent, other times they're spouting pure nonsense. I don't know how much is algorithmic though.

I woke up to a car door slamming down the road. "Classic," I thought, shamefully. Pulled my feet up off my desk and sat down, rubbed my eyes. .. Good god, it wasn't a car-door, the it was my own door. The broad who entered my office was tall and lean, and melodic. She raised her brow and threw her guitar to me

I mainly wonder how resource-efficient that kind of architecture is; I'd imagine that there'd be some benefits to the usual 90-degree less-cornery design in terms of material used & work needed. But I'd definitely enjoy that kind of organic feel to a building, at least as a novelty.
