this is a great talk from Chris that really speaks to why I run games community stuff. So many great/weird/interesting ideas come out of just talking to people, it's always my hope that the spaces we maintain help foster that. @chrisdeleon.bsky.social will be greatly missed here, thank you Chris!!

Took forever to get the rotations working, but this feels like a decent stopping point for now. Tempted to do an art pass as a break but really next is probably better map generation, more resource/economy stuff, then starting on progression.

More noodling on this survival buildy thing; been a minute since I did any shader work in Unity, this is a quick shader that draws the grid + highlights current tile

from Anna Anthropy's 'Rise of the Videogame Zinesters' (2012) really enjoyed this; it's part history, part design manifesto, part instruction manual. The first half is a lot of history and a bit dated/overly expository but when she gets into the why and how of making games it remains very relevant

broke 3 toes so I've had some time to start noodling on an idea I've had kicking around for a while. Wicked early obvs but the start of a survival town builder.

The Boston Compass Newspaper is a free, artist-run newspaper that's been going for 15 years, but its future is in jeopardy. Please share and donate to BCN's fundraiser if you can; I'll be devastated if my community loses something this wonderful. crowdfundr.com/62WCB8?ref=a...
