With the development of technology, the procedures for making systems are altered. Jobs that were initially difficult with technology have become easier. Likewise with work as a developer. In this era, it takes work that can be done quickly, precisely, and accurately. Inspired by the Copernicus' theory that the sun is the center of the solar system, this research aims to create a plugin that is integrated with the Unity game engine so that it can create dungeons quickly and dynamically using the orbital dungeon generation method. In general, games that have several dungeons are role playing games genre with the roguelike subgenre, where games of this type are widely adopted by well-known games. This method is expected to be employed by developers, especially game developers, to simplify and speed up the creation of games using dungeons, because the complexity of the system that is made can be adjusted according to needs.

The purpose of this study is to analyze genre differentiation in digital games and examine the changing characteristics of core genre elements. Especially this study focuses on the aspect that how players recognize genre differentiation based on the conceptual blending theory. The evolution of the genre does not end with decline or extinction. The genre keeps being divided into sub-genres through partial use of genre elements. The differentiation of the genre results from the principle of frame confrontation or expansion with a parent genre. Rogue-like games are differentiated from Role-playing games by frame conflict, while Metroidvania games are differentiated from Platform adventure games by frame expansion. In the former case, the core genre elements are independent and easily combined with other genres. For example, the core mechanism of Rogue-like genre like 'perma-death' or 'procedural generation' has a decisive effect on the differentiation of the game experience become an independent genre element. In the latter case of Metroidvania, the core genre elements strongly reveals context dependency and are difficult to use outside the genre convention. The core mechanism of Metroidvania is 'backtracking' in the labyrinth style map, but it could be effective genre element within the specific context like side-scrolling action-platformer.
