Yeah those corridors. Those bastards are hard to get right. In Agduria I have invented something that works better than in Kaduria, but then again Kaduria has different style of room creation. With pathfinding I can nail it for quite sure, because the problem is mainly in finding the proper entry location for corridors. I'm also using the closest room -routine to determine which rooms should be connected, but that's also creating a set of disconnected rooms. I have solve that one for Kaduria, too.
I wouldn't want to change room creation something like Agduria has, because I try very hard to avoid large scale re-factoring. It's better go with what you created and try to make it work than re-write large parts of the source code.

New game objects
Programming some missing stuff left from the change where lots of terrain tiles were transformed to game objects. I really hope it is the last big refactoring to be done. I want to get a detailed game world with lots of interaction with game objects. I think game world and exploration is more important to me than combat and improving the character, in other words the tactical area of a roguelike. Kaduria is going to be a "sandbox" style game, where you can do other things than just whack creatures.
I think a game where killing is optional could be nice. Usually you kill creatures to get experience and then become able to kill bigger monsters, but Kaduria doesn't have experience points...
