Can you point me to some really great, deeply technical game dev blogs of the devs' thoughts, philosophies, approaches to procgen?

The Factorio dev blog is a great example of what I'm looking for

Any more like that for different games, focusing on procedural generation graphics, constraint refinement, etc? I feel like nerding out, thanks.

I built a suite of C++23 header-only libraries for procedural character generation

Hey all, I've been working on a set of C++23 header-only libraries for procedural generation and figured they might be useful to others working on games, simulations, or world-building tools. Everything is MIT licensed and on GitHub.

The idea is that each library handles one slice of generation: names, cities, countries, birthdays, physical traits. They can be used standalone or composed together through an entity-generator that wires them up as components.

Here's what's in the suite:

- name-generator: First and last names from 105 cultures, frequency-weighted so common names show up more often. Ships with lite (~2 MB) and full (~39 MB) datasets.
- nickname-generator: Takes a name or word and runs randomized transforms on it (leetify, case variations, animal/adjective word lists).
- country-generator: Random countries with 31 fields (capital, region, languages, currency, borders, etc.) from aggregated open data sources. Population-weighted by default.
- city-generator: ~200k cities from GeoNames with coordinates, timezone, population, elevation, and admin1 state/province name resolution.
- birth-generator: Demographically plausible birthdays using UN population pyramids, monthly seasonality by latitude, and weekday deficit modeling.
- biodata-generator: Physical traits (height, weight, BMI, eye/hair color, skin type, blood type) based on published epidemiological data, varying by country and sex.
- entity-generator: A component system that lets you compose all the above into complex entities with typed dependencies, validation, and lifecycle hooks. Has adapters for EnTT and Flecs.

All of them support deterministic seeding so you can replay or persist generation results. They're header-only, just drop the .hpp files and the resource data into your project and compile with -std=c++23.

I also put together a live WebAssembly demo where you can try everything in the browser. The "Persona Generator" tab composes all six data-driven libraries to generate a full character profile: name, nationality, city, birthday, age, and physical appearance.

If you have questions about the data sources or the design, happy to answer. Feedback and issues are welcome.
