This is really interesting! What kind of game are you making?

I haven't quite started yet, as I'm in the middle of doing a bit of app development. But as I mentioned, I plan on incorporating the procedural lock/key dungeons.

I'm planning on basically making something like Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, but with procedurally generated dungeons and overworld.

If that all goes well, I want to add in interesting NPCs that interact in neat and different ways, rather than being generic NPCs that are in any other game.

So hopefully the end product will look something like a procedurally generated Zelda title, with dungeons, characters, and story all being new each time you play.

That all sounds very cool! I'd certainly play that! What kind of app are you making, if I may ask?

I'm making an anime list tracker. It's basically a mobile/app interface for Hummingbird. So you can keep track of your anime. There are plenty of similar apps for MyAnimeList, but none for hummingbird yet (since it's new).

Very cool. It's great that you're jumping onto something like that early in the website's development. It could get really popular! I am an aspiring programmer myself, but I'm in the very, very early stages, learning Python and Ruby, haha.
