I learned a ton from this, it’s kind of “The Book” I guess. For OP, there’s a pretty massive series of blog posts I fumbled along with too, ianthehenry.com/posts/…/introduction/ though it’s a couple years old.
My mind went straight to the SNES too, but with Chaos Seed, the feng shui dungeon building oddity. I have a feeling people might be familiar with SNESdrunk around here, though.
