Abstract

Outdoor worlds are often the setting for games and game worlds are often accompanied by a stylized version of the world drawn by an artist as a 2D map. Procedurally generating the terrain allows games to have a higher replay value. A limitation of procedural terrain generation is an artistic map of the terrain cannot be created by an artist beforehand. We propose an algorithm for generating a stylized 2D map from a simple procedurally generated 2D basis map. Our algorithm could be used in a game to generate stylized maps at execution time or in an offline application to serve as a guideline for an artist.
