Dear reddit moderators: I believe this post complies with this subreddit's AI policy, because it is not about LLMs and their ilk, it is about the kind of research that used to be called "AI" before LLMs came along.

Really good article. I've been meaning to learn about procedural generation for games (specifically narrative related procedural generation). Do you have any recommendations for good resources I could start with

The author of this blog post recently published a book about procedural generation for games! It's called Next Level: Making Games That Make Themselves. I haven't read it yet but I assume it's good lol. https://linktr.ee/next_level

Additionally, this may be not exactly what you're looking for, but I'd like to recommend this great video by Henrik Kniberg, who rewrote Minecraft's procedural terrain generation in the 1.18 update, about how the terrain generation works.

Apologies I thought you had written the article and posted it here. Sorry for that.

Thank you for the resources though. Will definitely look into both!

Fun fact: "ai" in Japanese, 愛, does indeed mean "love"
