Two freelancing gigs

I've just signed the paperwork to become a regular freelancer for two game publishers.

Here's hoping that things will turn for the better, and one of these options might prove to be a regular source of minor income. Or might lead to some good portfolio pieces that get me into larger companies for some regular work.

I'm not holding my breath though, this year started out looking so good, but it turned dark so quickly.

The companies I'll be writing for are :

Avalon Games

and

QT Games

Both seem enthusiastic, both targeting very different ends of the market. Avalon happy to quickly and continually publish pdfs through online retailers, while QT is taking a slower path and wants to make some big moves when they are ready.

It will be an interesting journey.

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
