- octaveguin 13y agoI like the list. I'm thinking/hoping that sandbox games with generated content will becomes a larger part of the core game market. Mostly, we see success in the indie 2D world: Don't starve - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsWm_gWyk4s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsWm_gWyk4s Binding of Isaac - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5PLC6nmOO4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5PLC6nmOO4 Terraria - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHPX0kR9h7I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHPX0kR9h7I And just released Starbound - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvrmB4tw33Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvrmB4tw33Q Certainly 3D games are quite exciting in this space, too, but the 2D games seem to have a lot more traction with the big exception of minecraft. I suspect it's simply easier to make an engaging sandbox when you don't have to worry about complexities in art assets that a 3D game requires.
- stefan_kendall 13y agoUh, Don't Starve isn't generated. The world is fixed. Pro-tip: You need rocks, and you need them fast. Get all you can in the south, and then move northeast for the large rock pile. From there, you need to figure out how to survive the stronger enemies.
- pohl 13y agoThe video above for Don't Starve shows the game saying that it is generating the world.
- PeterisP 13y agoUgh, come on - at least for me, Don't Starve gives a different world every time, and the differences are meaningful - requiring different actions depending on what kind of world is given to me.
- pohl 13y agoI clicked on the Starbound link and hours of my life vanished. What a beautiful game.
- namuol 13y agoI'm always happy to see more space exploration sims.
- xnxn 13y agoI'm a fan of Space Engine, one of the few space simulators I've seen do procedural generation well. http://en.spaceengine.org/ http://en.spaceengine.org/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj-VcZY_nwE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj-VcZY_nwE
