The maps in #FewShallReturn are procedurally generated. But, we want you to get a chance to learn them and optimize, so we have 5-10 maps every 24h. The layout is reused but the content is randomized every time. Best compromise between random and predictable? Thoughts? #gamedesign #indiedev

Exciting news! You can now request access to playtest Few Shall Return directly from Steam #indiedev #gamedev #fewshallreturn
