Welcome to PCG Secrets!
PCG Stands for Procedural Content Generation. It’s the process of letting the computer generate data and, in this case, content for our games.
We can use algorithms to create levels, terrains, and entire worlds and anything else: characters, weapons, quests, or even conversations. Some are easier than others to do well.
With this course, you will learn a range of techniques you can use to generate parts of your games procedurally.
Random generation is always tailored to a game and its gameplay mechanics. There are no one-size-fits-them-all algorithms that you can directly copy and paste into your projects. Instead, you want to understand the algorithms well and mix or adapt them to fit your game design.
You can see an example with DevDuck’s devlog #7 for his game Dauphin. He took our random walker code for Godot and adapted it to reuse it in his project.
We recommend that you take every techniques you’ll learn in this course and tinker with them. Open the source Godot project, change values, replace functions, or individual lines of code.
