The Shaggy Dev | An introduction to procedural lock and key dungeon generation @TheShaggyDev | Uploaded December 2021 | Updated October 2024, 22 minutes ago.
Let's take an introductory look at lock-and-key procedural content generation. Using a lock-and-key framework to procedurally generate content, you specify paths of progression for the player in your games. Roguelikes, narrative games, and really any sort of game where you want the player to advance via a series of steps (whether linear or non-linear) can be modeled and created this way.
Intro: 00:00
Definition: 00:56
Big key locks: 01:43
Small key locks: 02:38
Stateful locks: 03:49
A sample technique for generating content: 04:36
Limitations: 07:14
Spatial methodologies: 09:09
Conclusion: 10:57
