In No Man’s Sky all the generation is used for visuals, it all looks a little bit different. I am working on a game, Star Singularity, that uses procedural generation gameplay and test the generation in simulation.

I’m actually working on Unity Procedural Dungeon Generation on my YouTube channel. I’d really appreciate if anyone could give it a look and let me know what you think.
It’s the Unity Dungeon Generation Playlist! https://www.youtube.com/user/richardhawkes
Nice one, I hope to see more of your posts! If some of you are looking for some more tips about creating a game, I recommend this blog too: blog.theknightsofunity.com
