Another developer of interesting generators in this vein is Martin O'Leary (twitter.com/mewo2). Metropologeny: https://twitter.com/metropologeny Uncharted Atlas: https://twitter.com/unchartedatlas https://mewo2.com

Your http://mewo2.com/notes/naming-language is equally interesting, great work!

A slightly older one that produces very nice looking results for certain aesthetics is https://mewo2.com/notes/terrain/ As well as also being open source, the page gives interactive demonstrations of each step that the process takes which is interesting. (edit: clicking round a bit more, Azgaar's project lists the one at mewo2 as on if its inspirations/influences)

I really like them as well. I enjoy them as a digital art form. From what I understand, Scott Turner (Here Dragons Abound) got his inspiration from Martin O'Leary[0]. Lots of interesting reading on his site. Another one in current development but as far as I know doesn't have a devlog quite like Scott Turner's is Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator[1]. He did keep a devlog until 2018 sometime though[2]. Watabou's Medieval Fantasy Map Generator[3] is really good. I'm sure I've seen more over the years but these are the ones I can remember.

"Here Dragons Abound"[0] is another interesting take on this topic. The guy's been working for about a year now to beef up Martin O'Leary's work[1]. Fascinating read through if you start at the first post. [0] https://heredragonsabound.blogspot.com [1] http://mewo2.com/notes/terrain/

A few days ago I discovered this initiative that I found very interesting and fun: during the month on November you have to develop a program to generate a novel of around 50k words. This is the 7th edition of the event. I started reading the dev-logs (GitHub issues) of the past editions and discovered some great novels both in term of technology involved and also content. Some gems: * MARYSUE (https://github.com/catseye/MARYSUE), which aims to create an interesting novel with a plot and everything else (and the related write-up "A story compiler" (https://git.catseye.tc/MARYSUE/blob/master/doc/Overview%20of%20a%20Sto… * LIFE OF THE AZAR (https://github.com/NaNoGenMo/2017/issues/39), an archive/enciclopedia of some sort of an imaginary city of a couple of thousands of citizens describing the people, their relationships, events that happens in the city and much more * THE DESERT OF THE WEST (https://github.com/dariusk/NaNoGenMo-2015/issues/156), a generated guide of imaginary worlds together with a map generation alghoritm with rivers and erosion (http://mewo2.com/notes/terrain/) and a generator for city names based on natural language theories (http://mewo2.com/notes/naming-language/) * MEOW (https://github.com/dariusk/NaNoGenMo-2014/issues/50) meow meow meeeooow mew Some projects are based on Neural Networks, some on Markov Chains, some on simulations, some on Tracery grammars (https://tracery.io/), some on Prolog, some on "plain" text processing and…

Looks amazing! Note that the author also has a fantasy city generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator And mansion generator: https://watabou.itch.io/procgen-mansion If you're into that kind of stuff, there's a world map generator(by different author): https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/ and this amazing tutorial on generating maps: https://mewo2.com/notes/terrain/ ---- Also, kinda relevant - awesome talks about modern procedural generation techniques(with AI, Houdini, etc): How AI will change 3D industry https://youtube.com/watch?v=FlgLxSLsYWQ Procedural world generation for Far Cry https://youtube.com/watch?v=NfizT369g60 Procedurally generating Manhattan for Spider Man https://youtube.com/watch?v=4aw9uyj9MAE Mindblowing talks by Anastasia Opara (using cool math, deep learning, and a lot of creativity to create crazy cool stuff) https://www.anastasiaopara.com/talks She is the author of the most impressive procedural generation project I've ever seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7J_9Xf_h_U ---- Also, I myself have made a little tutorial about procedurally generating a 3D landscape in Houdini: https://youtube.com/watch?v=o3mbIRZhv20
