Practical Procedural Generation for Everyone
One of the talks at GDC that I went to was, of course, Practical Procedural Generation for Everyone by mad scientist Kate Compton.
An extension of the encyclopedia of techniques that she presented in her latest zine, this lightning-fast talk was packed with stuff about all kinds of generative methods. Even if you know a lot about generative things already, you’re likely to encounter something new here, on top of a whole lot of ideas for how to make things better or combine them in new ways.
Best of all, the recording of the talk is available to the public, so you can watch it too:
