Hi everyone, I've always been interested in roguelikes and enjoy playing them but have never made one and don't have any experience in procedural generation.

I'd like to join this jam if I don't end up being busy the week it's happening, so I'd like to learn up on how rogue likes are made!

Anyone here have any videos or tutorials that helped them a lot on their journey they'd like to share? Thanks!

(I use Godot if that matters)

Hi! I'm not a Godot fan, but there are infinite soruces/articles/examples/blog posts that talks about roguelikes and their algorithm.

Look here: https://www.reddit.com/r/roguelikedev/ which has a link to this tutorial on Godot: https://github.com/Bozar/GodotRoguelikeTutorial/wiki

Or there: http://roguebasin.com/index.php?title=Articles which is a super good start to learn about roguelikes genre and algorithms without focusing on languages/tool/engine

Or over there: https://forums.roguetemple.com/

Here’s a tutorial for creating a broughlike that touches on a lot of features that also occur in traditional roguelikes like movement, pathfinding, basic level generation: https://nluqo.github.io/broughlike-tutorial/
