After a late start this morning, I\u2019ve spent most of the day working on procedural level generation for my game. You can see some of the results below:<\/p>\n

\"boundlevelgen\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the final game, each coloured block will be a stand-alone module which can be moved around to open up the path from the start (the red block currently) to the end. Currently the path is pretty linear, but I have the individual blocks generating using a template system from eighty different designs. The levels vary in length and complexity.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure I\u2019m going to have time to finish the actual game, but learning this much has been pretty fun so far. I have a very definite idea of how the final game should work, but there\u2019s a huge amount left to do. The blocks you see here make up a platforming level, with controls similar but not identical to Super Meat Boy. The screen will be split into two, with a character on one side pushing the blocks around while the character on the left tries to navigate through them.<\/p>","time":"August 23rd, 2014 3:10 pm","title":"Bound \u2013 Level Generation","title_was_empty":false}
