AIGameDev interview with Jonathan about level generation

Great interview! It was a lot of fun to watch the map generation videos and see the magic take place. There were also a couple of great sneak-peeks in there for chapter 3 :D

I'm curious about the recent improved randomness in map layouts. What parts of the level generation algorithms had to be changed?

Crappus,I missed it.Is there a recording of this somewhere?

Very interesting. The Act 3 areas looked really great. I can't wait to try them out.

I don't think this was a result of any algorithm changes but simply the artists creating more base map types for a particular area.

soooo, who ripped the stream and is making a torrent? heh

I find it peculiar to stream to the public but then put it behind a wall.

That was an awesome interview. It's going to be fun testing out this game.

Fixed :)

It's a shame that there isn't a free recording available considering it was streamed over a free medium (livestream).

Here's a picture of an act 3 map layout: http://i.imgur.com/e4a0J.jpg

I'm very interested to watch the interview. Pity it costs 7$ from the website :(

Yeah, I couldn't be up at 6am. : (

Damn - my reminder failed :(
