Space Crawler
A downloadable game for Windows
This game is a part of a dissertation project from the course Digital Games Theory and Design MA in Brunel University London. The focus of this dissertation is to study how effective procedural content generation is at following Taylor’s 10 principles for good level design opposed to authored content generation in a dungeon crawler.
For the academic purposes of utilising useful feedback towards the previously mentioned dissertation, players are incentivised to reply to the following set of questions, in relation to both versions of the game, in the form of a Likert scale, in the comment section, by selecting one of five options: Disagree, Slightly Disagree, Neither Agree or Disagree, Slightly Agree and Agree.
