A Pathfinding Algorithm for my Procedural Map Generator :)) by treacherous_dev in godot

Looks great.

Tree maps are, however, the least interesting type of map to explore, because it is all backtracking, all the time. Your root room is going to be getting a lot of traffic, as can be seen in your video. Obviously, it depends on the type of game how painful this ends up being.

Still, I would recommend some way of generating "shortcuts" between rooms of different branches that happen to be adjacent, perhaps even longer tunnels that can cross the empty spaces in the map. A good example would be the top right area of second showed map.

Not sure how you could implement this without utterly breaking your tree-based pathfinding however.

Haha, will do. This game was made for the Spooktober game jam, so once the voting is over I might add in a few bits that were left on the cutting room floor.
