There are now 10 different templates for dungeon generation. For the first 3 days you play in a really small dungeon, 3 days after that the dungeon is slightly bigger. On day 7, you get the default dungeon template used in previous version, and after the first week you get a template chosen at random from a pool of 8 different templates.
Templates vary in size, what rooms can be spawned, and the kind of dungeons they generate in general. One template can be a long path, other one full of different branches, or even a loop. Some dungeons can be completely flat, others having much more vertical rooms, and so on. Different Seals can be more useful in different templates, so have fun experimenting with different templates, and Seals in The Sealing Chamber.
In future when the game grows in content I am going to have the option of having unique rooms for different templates e.g. one template with just goblins, others with elves, some themes and more.
It is important to note Seeds are template specific, meaning if you want to replay the dungeon you played before in the version of the game, you need to match both custom seed AND template.
I added a new room in the hub area. You can use it to skip days, and randomize template after day 7. Right now there is no real downside to skipping days, so feel free to try out different templates
