Archmage Rises News

This week’s update is the presentation I gave at CGDC in Portland, OR Jul 18 2019. I dive into the unique design constraints of Archmage Rise’s procedural dungeons, the prototypes and processes attempting to meet those requirements, and how, now, the technology differs from other algorithms of the past.

This week we show off the new lighting, texturing, and interaction of the 3d dungeons. This is the baseline from which we can now expand into new areas of interaction.

Since the last update, I celebrated my 20th wedding anniversary and Daniel completed his training regiment. Daniel then started working on integrating the 3D dungeons tech into the main game while I focus on content for the dungeons. A pattern we hope will continue!

This week Nic and I dive into how the 3D dungeons are coming along, and specifically how the game AI will decorate and display rooms based on Theme and Purpose. The accompanying article highlights some of the inspirations, challenges, and solutions.
