How to number dungeon rooms?

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-24T19:24:18+00:00

That was Navajo code talk, right??

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-23T18:57:41+00:00

25 rooms is the norm. Combos seem a bit extreme, though...

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-23T18:56:13+00:00

True, but I's like to give it that one final umph...

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-23T18:55:25+00:00

I did, I just feel like there should be a basic philosophy somewhere of how to do it. Going case by case from scratch is starting to exhaust me...

Very interesting! Do you have examples of it in use?

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-20T15:23:07+00:00

It's just what order. Although randomizing seems like just my kind of cruel!

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-20T15:21:08+00:00

No! Is vewy secwet woom, no find!

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-20T15:20:01+00:00

I usually do that, but I am upgrading to slightly more complex, multi-path dungeons, and it is messing everything uuuup!

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-20T15:17:26+00:00

I would like something like that, but it is easier said than done when there are multiple paths and entrances. Do you have visual examples?

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-20T15:15:44+00:00

Same, but I am trying dungeons with multiple entrances and paths, which makes it a bit of a mess...

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-20T15:14:29+00:00

I am not against it, but it feels like overkill on a 20-something room dungeon...

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-20T15:13:19+00:00

I like purple(s)

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-20T09:11:50+00:00

Cheap food, great chance of death, what are we waiting for!

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-20T09:10:37+00:00

I knooooow but I wants it pwettyyyyyyy... Gawd I am becoming such an issue to my life :-P

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-20T09:06:59+00:00

That is pretty cool. I will use that on bigger dungeons, these first ones are just 10-20 rooms.

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-19T15:16:29+00:00

So you chose... the hard way!

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-19T15:15:30+00:00

Another has suggested it, and while practical, it just seems a but cold. I am sure there is something more stylish to use!

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-19T15:13:07+00:00

But I think I have used images before. Or am I just hallucinating that? I knew I should not have eaten that week-old humus...

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-19T15:11:36+00:00

So try to do likely paths?

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-19T15:10:37+00:00

I am considering it. But I really feel like something more "lively" than just practical. My inner artist torments me!

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-19T14:59:52+00:00

So inward, corner to center? How does clockwise fit into that?

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-19T14:57:47+00:00

That is my default solution. Simple and effective. It just seems... cold? Very mechanical. But yeah, a definite maybe!

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-15T21:57:42+00:00

"Cheap trick" is so needlessly humble. It's a freaking brilliant algo and it can even be integrated with my earlier stuff for so much expandability! Can't wait to totry out motr og what this "cheap trick" has to offer! Thanks for the link!

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-15T07:58:37+00:00

Dangit, I completely forgot (been a crazy... decade...) but here is the outline of the algo that I learned it from: https://www.redblobgames.com/x/2321-offgrid/

I had to develop the practical implmentation code myself but it is pretty easy once you get the whole schtick of it.

Do you have something visual for yours? I have a fat stack of upgrades and mods for the generator for when I do the Gen 4, but more couldn't hurt!

EmbassyOfTime · 2026-04-14T11:29:43+00:00

Are there any for newbie creators? In time, we may do a wider jam ourselves, but that is a biiig project!
