Whoops, forgot to stream today. Oh dear, well, a lot going on at the moment in my life. Ho-hum. I did finally get round to uploading last weeks stream though! Look, connected rooms!

We now have wall logic improvements and parametric doorways! Longer stream today (1.5h) so even more of me going 'hmmmm' and pondering #ProcGen logic design.

Great stream today, noodling with floor pattern generation. A few friendly faces in the chat, with some thought provoking questions. We touched on the "randomness vs richness" aspect of procedural generation. Subscribe/video links in replies. #ProcGen #UnrealEngine #GameDev #Apparance

Todays stream focused on floor/ceiling building from various asset shapes. The basis of a few sub-division procedures and placement of new pieces gave us some interesting patterns!
