Would a little settlement like this ever be procedurally generated?asked by Sovapid
Absolutely. We really want to push the procedural generation with our ground locations so that we can make a lot of progress with having much more interesting areas of the planet to go to and visit. So definitely it's something we're looking into.
Of course, as we spoke about earlier, procedural generation is a tool and not an end. Even as they generate, it still requires an artist to go and validate. Even through all the tools that we build, we still want this to be a handcrafted experience. We're not talking about other games where full levels, full planets, full star systems are procedurally generated. We don't ever want to take it to that extreme. We want to use procedural generation as a tool to help our artists, not do the work for them.
