unlike most procedural methods, does not create a new environment when re-generation occurs

They're confusing procedurally generated environment (kkrieger) with randomized procedurally generated environment (uhm... Diablo?).

Instead, the method utilizes the fourth dimension to store the location of every procedurally-generated object, entity, and piece of terrain. In essense, procedural re-generation in Malevolence - The Shadow of Ahkranox simply updates what part of the procedural world is in memory.

Far as I can tell, this is pure technobabble.

That's actually my explanation of how they do things - which, apparently, is horrific. Here's the link to the developer's actual explanation: http://swordofahkranox.blogspot.com....1/07/tech.html

Thank you for the link. That clears everything up indeed.
It's... interesting, to quote Gregory House.

Should this one remind me of Nethack? That had some sort of randomization in it as well, if I'm correct. This game is very impressive anyway.

Nethack has some procedural generation, but most of it only "autolevel of monsters and loot to character" and "generating solvable maze". This game seems more than that...
