I love the whole concept behind this type of gameplay. Has anyone ever read the paper on "Algorithms for an Infinite Universe" by Guy Lecky-Thompson? It's very enlightening and moves (I believe) along similar lines. Gamasutra has it posted here:

He has some other papers in the series there as well. I've always tried to employ these ideas in all my game dev planning. They're worth a look.

*edit*
He also has a book out called "Infinite Game Universe: Mathematical Techniques" which I found quite useful.
