I have recently became interested into procedural generation as my free time hobby. As a backend software engineer I was looking for a side project with no commitment. Which would be flexible to apply different types of technologies, boring and interesting at the same time. "The Forever Project" [1] article describes motivation behind it.
Since I had no experience with Rust, game development & procedural generated stuff, combining everything sounded pretty covering my "Forever Project" theme. I'm currently going through Rust Rougelike tutorial[2] to get basic understanding how games are being developed & maps are generated. I like the tutorial a lot because it covers so much different topics. From game dev, few libraries, to different approaches of maps generators.
There is a lot of content there but I'm already raising questions to myself where to look next? What should I learn & focus so I could deepen my knowledge in procedural generated content? I understand I always can read random tutorials (what I'm doing) and try to glue something from them. But maybe you have advises or more guided content as books, long tutorials, courses?
Thanks.
