Since last week, I changed up the generation I was unsatisfied with, and I came up with some good stuff. I compacted a lot of the generation and brought things a little closer, because I thought it would be a bit more interesting. Fortunately, my suspicions about lairs being generated towards the edge of the map proved unfounded.

Now, you won't feel the difference from what they were previously, but take it from me, it was annoying to walk through a lot of bending caves. You can see the difference if you compare to, say, last week, but it really doesn't do it justice.

I can probably push another update soon this week with a lot of fixes for the known issues. You probably won't notice too many differences between what was and what is, and that was the intent. There is a whole bunch of stuff that changed on the back end, and I think it's a good new direction.
