As I''m nearing the completion of my current AI project (why is the last fifth of a project always the most difficult to complete? lol) I was thinking about other things I could take a look at, and I was wondering what has been done in the area of random world generation? A big thing in games lately seems to be that "extendability" but often times I find myself staring at worlds in games that feel way too familiar, leaving the game devoid of any great replay value. Do you think its possible to create entire AI generated worlds which would contain new and different content? how new and different? talking about rpgs, do you think that entire stories could be generated, or even emerge?

This was discussed extensively some time ago in this forum. You might benefit from searching the archive and taking a read of what was previously discussed.

Cheers,
