-This project is the result of 2 years of experimentation with simplex noise and researching procedural generation techniques. The demo currently runs well, but it lacks collision detection and gameplay elements as the developer found it challenging to implement them while working on the procedural generation aspect. The developer has many screenshots of the demo, and they are willing to share them via email.
