Quick Shout Out

 Just letting folks know that my friend Erin has started writing a bunch of min-games on tri-folds.

Z-Fold vs Tri-Fold: Differences Explained | Printivity 

Her aim is to make one of these a month, for the rest of the year, and maybe make a few extras to catch up on earlier months, then release an annual pack of 12 games at the close of 2025. They're being released on itch.io.

All of these games are free, but she'll be doing some work with me on the Walkabout and Familiar games when she gets a chance as well (she's been generating some fun "glitch art" lately that'll probably be incorporated into at least one of the Vulpinoid Studios products that sit in the pipeline. 


I know that there aren't many folks who go to links from this blog (there certainly aren't a lot of people who've visited my itch.io page), but if you could take a look, and maybe download a free game, it'll help a new designer who's still trying to find her feet.

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.
