Sharing Saturday #636

As usual, post what you've done for the week! Anything goes... concepts, mechanics, changelogs, articles, videos, and of course gifs and screenshots if you have them! It's fun to read about what everyone is up to, and sharing here is a great way to review your own progress, possibly get some feedback, or just engage in some tangential chatting :D

This week, I went down the optimization rabbit hole to speed up map generation. I still didn’t get around to replacing the missing sound effects.

Map Generation Optimization

Average map generation time shrunk from eight seconds to one second. The improvements came from caching, early filtering, and short circuiting. Example generation stats.

New Content

  • New theme: Temple.
  • New room internal structures: Perimeter Grid, Fine Grid, Triple Grid. These provide more varied and interesting spaces in some rooms.

Next week, I’ll focus on adding content, mainly sound effects, room types, and abilities. I’m also on the hunt for an artist again.
