The rush is over

In this quest to review as many Game Chef entries as possible, I've typically been averaging 3 to 4 per day. I've reached 50, but I'd like to knock over another 3 entries minimum so I can say that I've reviewed at least half the field. Then I might narrow the remainder of the reviews down to the finalists I haven't looked at so far.

Compared to a daily visitation rate of 300-400, the peak of this run saw a couple of days earning over 1200 views. The last few days have seen this drop off, so I guess the interest in waning. There might be a new burst of visitors once the finalists are revealed, but I think we're getting to the point where it's time to start looking at other topics again.

It'll be interesting to see how my reviews so far match up with general consensus.

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.
