Latest and Greatest

I’m still set on figuring out how to generate random POIs for Voxel based games like 7D2D or Minecraft. Here’s my latest research project that will hopefully get me closer to my goal:

I’m using an extremely crude GAN-ish style of procedural generation that uses something similar to an evolutionary algorithm to build structures, and then that structure is scored by a discriminator for usefulness. The generation code has been fairly simple, but the discriminator is proving to be a bit complicated. I tend to complicate things on my own, so I’m also dealing with my own insecurities during this process.. free therapy, right? Here’s some shots of what I’ve been able to do so far:

Asking the network to generate large structures.
The discriminator used here favors structures with high resource cost (iron/stone > wood).
Just added terrain using simplex noise but then I realized matching the POI to the terrain won’t be as easy as I thought.
