Hello soyjak party. For the past 1.5 months, i have been creating an unfinished game.
UNFINISHED. CURRENTLY IN A SHITTY STATE
Tldr: Unfinished "Daggerfall dungeon imitation" - dark 3D-mazes underground. Focus on making them so big that orientation is impossible for people not trained. (so that it takes 10+ hours to get out, if you manage to, at all) (for comparison, the most time it took me in a daggerfall dungeon was 5 hours, but that was full exploration)

Currently, i have (, skipping over creating objects in unity and blender, which i replaced with scripting,) created an automatic mesh/maze-generation system. I make premade "blocks", and it automatically places and connects them, and then creates the mesh…
Also a menu and some other snca, but now 4 days ago i started making an in-game block-editor, and it works.

-Ideas what to do with this? I could continue to further replicate daggerfall…
-My ideas so far are to add survival/hunger/fatigue/climbing and temperature mechanics, to make it about getting out before starving (also light mechanics), and also to add a "shooter" mode, where you play a battle royale in the maze, with pistols or some other weapons. In darkness, without a map, randomly generated or otherwise obfuscated. (perhaps with a hunger and food-supply mechanic so that more kills=more time you can survive)
-I can easily advance the "block-editor" further or add more variations. My "goal" is even to create an "automatic-block-generator" that uses few values or something to create hundreds of variants.
-another plan is to, some time later, after finishing this part, connect this to a "surface-world"… but i dont want a fantasy world. … not sure, but that would allow for an "fantasy-world-maze-exploration-"game to be created.

-About "blocks" themselves: So far, i have only been using rectangles (since i just learned mesh generation, this was easier), but i am planning to create non-rectangular and further different parts, perhaps.
Question: What "spaces" would be good in such a "dungeon"/maze? A giant room? Just empty air/beds/creatures inhabiting it? So far, i wanted to make it "as realistic as possible", so i decided to only add "bigger caves" and water. and perhaps sand or dust or rocks (or minerals?). What ideas do you have? I could add one block that has the remains of a former explorer (but i dont think its a good idea).



Snca: I made this because i grew "bored" with daggerfall dungeons and thought of having something more extreme, bigger, more complicated. They were Snca: to small for me.
Snca: If you want to learn what daggerfall is, just google "daggerfall unity" and download- its free, and if you just click start and continue, Snca: then you will automatically start in a "dungeon", and if you then enter "map_revealall" into the console and then click "m", you can see the Snca: 3D-map of the whole dungeon, to get an image.
Snca: If you have knowledge or suggestions how to make a better editor (different placement modes, different buttons, different info showing?), you
Snca: can comment this here as well.
Snca: I intent to progress-post once i make some bigger changes, or, if i abandon the project, post that.
Snca: Also the mesh is automatically only created around the player, because placing everything would lag the game.
Snca: I apparently have to redo some things because the lightning doesnt work or some normals or other things arent finalized


-no actual walking through the tunnels footage because thats old and right now i'd have to disrupt the current setup to show that. just imagine roblox walking first person through a square small hallway (except its endless)
