Are there any plans in the future, near or otherwise, to have randomly generated levels in Egoboo? One of the aspects which drew my interest to the game was the description of Egoboo being a 3D roguelike.
Most roguelikes have randomly generated levels where you can not use meta-tactics of "The ulna will come out of there and around the corner are a horde of trogs so I can do X and lure them here"
I wouldn't argue for turn-based gameplay and mmmaybe permadeath would be nice but randomly created levels would be keen. Apologies if this is an old chestnut which has been beaten more than the proverbial horse.

There has been random level generation, and even some quite sophisticated stuff, but it is not supported at the moment.

There have been plans to add other Nethack-ish stuff as well (more in the realms of content though, rather than features); for example, I will at one point make fortune cookies... I have all the text thought out and the model and skin done... it just needs to be put together (oh, and it needs an icon).

And I think it will become awesome.

It could heal 1 hp and display a word of "wisdom"?

Yes, a little bit of healing, some permanent health increase (enough to account for one to five healing potions), and nice little messages.

PurpleSquerkle wisdom.
Ooo, a module that randomly generates itself.
That could be fun.
