Procedurally generated content in Sir, You Are Being Hunted
summary
Procedural systems generate five 1km² islands (about five islands total) with roughly 25 region types and up to six villages per island using Unity, a Voronoi dual graph for voronoi cell regions, hybrid fractal heightmaps plus erosion, and triplanar shaders for triplanar texturing. Geometry gets combined per region and saved to disk for batching; pathfinding uses A on simplified colliders and a resolution compromise. NPCs use a finite-state AI with audio/visual triggers*, producing emergent hunts. Kickstarter funding doubled the target, and the system runs and plays as intended.
