progress update - procedural generation

Hello everyone! The past few weeks have been spent working on procedural generation in studio apart(ment) so I thought I would put out an update on how it's going and some other things going on with the development. The game is definitely being made and I want to get some sort of a beta out before the end of the summer if I can. Procedurally generating the city This was initially super daunting to think about. since it's one of the core pillars of a roguelite, it can make or break the fun of it. A badly generated map can feel unfair and frustrating, and nobody wants that. I decided to make the city out of several blocks; the advantage of this being that it's easier to predictably place things like lamp posts, buildings, benches, and exits. A few months ago i did try doing this much more randomly. The results were cool but not very usable and was just too random.
So I took a stab at actually generating the map and i started out by placing some roads. Easy enough, I just used a noise function to create a map and we had this.
Then I had to trace it with some sidewalks. This wasn't hard in theory, but I had to fiddle around with the numbers a fair bit. I ended up with this, and I was pretty happy so far.
I then made the exits which involved a ton of scene loading information I won't get into, but that took a fair bit of time. Most recently I have started on adding in buildings. One thing I love about the roguelite Hades is that it balances procedural and predesigned rooms really well. Every dungeon in that game features a random mix of predesigned rooms, which ensures a fair dungeon every time while still providing variety. To incorporate this, I decided that each city block would be its own predesigned block, which will make the city not feel extremely generic at every single block. I need to model a lot of buildings for that, but at the moment we have something that looks like this:
Overall I think it's heading in the right direction, and I think that in the end the procedural generation should turn out really well and make the experience of playing a life sim feel fresh repeatedly.

You just moved to a new city. Hooray. The rooms are small, the people aren't very nice, and there's nothing to do. Is there?

studio apart(ment) is a life sim meets roguelite where you play 7 days of a life sim and then restart. Not everything resets—your relationships, upgrades, and inventory persist. Explore a procedurally generated city every run filled with minigames, friendly (or not) citygoers, cars, buildings, shops, and everything you could want in an urban paradise.

  • A procedurally generated city. No two runs will feel the same and the possibility of exploration is always lingering.
  • Custom naming for villagers. Any villager can be named as you choose. Want to add your best friends into the game? Knock yourself out
  • Explorable areas that get unlocked over time. Even if you have explored the city countless times, you can still find more to do
  • A skill tree where you can buy upgrades and unlock new features
