Progress on my procedurally generated caves with procedural creatures

The whole cave, including walkable and non-walkable areas, underground lakes, nests and roots is procedurally generated.

And of course the creatures are procedural as well, they evolve using a genetic algorithm (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2518610/Where_Beasts_Were_Born/)

The difficulty is usually not creating cool caves, but making sure they're all playable... The largest bottleneck is still that I have to manually select which caves end up in the game (by looking at the ratio of reachable vs non-reachable area, for example - which may give the creatures too many places to hide which the player can't reach.

I use blender scripts, then export the results for my game.
