Here's a link to the developers picture album that is doing the
random maps. Looks pretty good.

Yeah I saw that screenshot album posted in the Developer's Diary
thread on the 7DtD forum. It looks like he's working mostly on
trying to get water to blend better and roads to remain flat yet
curved / random enough plus lots generating in predictable ways.
That's tough to do with a truly 'random' generator. It's not
like minecraft where all the map generation does is create
endless biomes with the various random water areas,
villages/temples etc - this map has to generate roads,
buildings, water areas etc that actually make sense and not just
some spiderweb of crap randomly thrown together in a jumbled way
no humans would probably build hehe.
I'm guessing they will 'prefab' sections or 'lots' as he
mentioned in his screenshot captions. Those lots will then get
generated in conjunction with roads of various types and then
mixed with landscapes / biomes of various types. Creating a
variety of 'lots' so that nothing gets repeated too often will
probably be a huge task. Farms, trailer parks, small shops or
gas stations along the roads, varied abandoned buildings, barns,
ruins, etc etc ... lots of fun stuff to create that will pop up
randomly but yet still make some sort of sense in the landscape.
I'll bet that's challenging.
I can't wait for us all to play on a truly random map where
we'll get to name our own areas as we go along, develop our own
working maps and territories, points of interest. So much more
fun than the same predictable map we have now.
