Cyclic Dungeon Generation

Publisher's blurb:

[Cyclic Dungeon Generation] generates dungeons by composing together cycles: circular loops of linked dungeon rooms designed to create a specific flow of gameplay.

There are several types of cycles that can be used to construct a dungeon, such as lock and key or hidden shortcut.

By nesting multiple different cycles, a dungeon can be generated that feels more like a human being intentionally designed it, rather than a purely random scattering of chambers.

User summary:

Includes The Tomb Under the Tree - an adventure generated using the described process. Two JPG maps also are available for the adventure.
