This idea just popped into my head and I decided to share it with the community

What if we can recreate games and stories from horror games like Alien Isolation to amazing adventure games like the bioshock series in cdda(my head is exploding if we can recreate columbia in cdda)the possibilities are endless and with mods ,It will be mindblowing.

this is just an idea I had so tell me what you guys think.

Theres nothing impeding you from creating these in the current game.

Basically what you need to have two characters, one is your map builder who creates the dungeon with the debug map editor, places items, and then places monsters. The other one is the character that you place in the starting room and is used to navigate the dungeon.

Very time consuming, but very possible.
