Procedural Generation in roguelikes and other games like Minecraft or No Man's Sky, generates huge numbers of maps and items. What exactly is Procedural Generation? What different ways are developers using it and why do we love it when it's used well? Josh gives game examples of how to use it in levels and other content! He also explains how it's not really random and the ways it can go wrong.
