That’s the classic #WaveFunctionCollapse in a good place. Now to investigate if the state of the art on global constraints has progressed in the last few years…

@u0421793 Does this apply to CNC routers, laser cutters, and/or plotters? All more-or-less applications of the same design to automate creation of physical goods
There’s always been a spectrum between hand-crafted one-offs and mass production. I don’t think ceding that entire space is a win for anyone except the big manufacturers
@TheZeldaZone Think I’ve only ever heard “electrified vehicle” in relation to a converted gas car
@lisyarus I’ve been following his model synthesis work, and it’s really interesting, but someone really needs to take a stab at a clean authoring pipeline. I have trouble conceptualising how one would produce something one could hand off to an artist
Mind you, I think this is also true of most other popular procgen techniques. There’s only so far you can go with perlin noise, or what have you - layering a bunch of different techniques has always been key
Most of the successful uses are either tiny dioramas (Bad North), or layer it on top of a different large-scale representation (i.e. Caves of Qud)
@lisyarus I think we’re mostly in agreement. On the one hand it’s pretty unparalleled for filling in local detail, and producing maps with complex 3D topology. On the other, it has no long-range planning capabilities whatsoever.
Really loving this new iteration of iOS, whether the weather app can apparently eat my whole battery in just 3 minutes…
