Any ideas on what Dwarf Fortress feature will be discussed at GDC 2017? Last year it was the myth generator. I personally wouldn't mind seeing more information on the myth generator.

Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be great.

Procedural content generation has garnered more attention in recent years, both in indie games and AAA titles. Unfortunately, there is no "one algorithm to rule them all". PCG techniques are necessarily as wide and varied as their potential implementations. Using examples from the speakers' own work, this lecture presents 6 practical ways to implement AI-driven procedural content generation in games. Topics range from art asset generation to massaging and controlling math and randomness to how to infusing consistent, believable personalities in game agents. The technique explained will be useful whether building a PCG-based game or to season a more authored game.

Takeaway
The attendee will learn new applications of procedural generation techniques and how to implement them to create richer, more varied content in their own game projects.

I wonder if Tarn will talk about "massaging". A new way to reduce fortress wide stress...
