Ron Gilbert (GrumpyGamer)Monday: Procedural generation is so much easier than handcrafting everything.
Friday: Handcrafting is so much easier than procedurally generating everything.
Jaime HerazoIn theory, procedural generation is amazing and will give you unlimited everything. In practice it... doesn't. As they say, theory and practice are the same thing in theory but not in practice 😜
Brianna Townsend@grumpygamer innovating in indie development by creating bespoke handwritten content 😤

Handcrafting:
- Easy to do junk content
- Hard to do high quality cohesive content
Procedural generation:
- Easy to do a large amount of junk content
- much harder to make high quality cohesive content, because you need to write your handcraft knowledge as code and ensure multiples edge cases.

Carl Muckenhoupt@grumpygamer "[Procedural generation] isn’t a *substitute* for designing content. It’s a *way* of designing content — one that is often at least as labor-intensive as other ways..."
