Back in the Hot list


It feels like being in a band and checking the top 40 to see if your songs are resonating with the public (or checking to see if your band's marketing people are doing the right things and kissing the right butts). But this one rises or falls with me, there is no-one else to blame things on.

Because of it's unusual product model, I wasn't sure how well the Ghost City Raiders project would perform on the open market. Combine this with the notions that I usually upload my products and make them available for free, and don't have a lot of self confidence. These have combined to make me really happy about the way things are going so far this year.

Storyweaver still sit on top of the charts (with the same product that prevented "Tooth and Claw" from reaching the top spot), but I can't resent them as a local Sydney group of great guys.

There is another benefit of having a few high profile products over the last couple of months; people are checking my older games and some of them have started selling again. There have been a few sales for some of the FUBAR supplements, and even Spider's Dance is getting another run.

Now I just need to try and capitalise on this momentum.

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

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.
