A New Design Collective

Just a quick post to see if any readers out there might be interested in joining a design collective. A group of designers who are interested in cross promoting their games and game ideas, who will help each other out with industry ideas and game design advice. This group will probably also work on a few communal projects, as well as getting the support they need to get their own games going.

There are a few core members, and the finer details are being worked out. I just thought I'd share this news to see if anyone else was interested.

Reply to this or send me an email if you'd like more information.

Well, I'm intrigued! Any other North Americans on board yet? It could be a pan-Anglo-national alliance! :)

Sounds like a wonderful idea. I'm afraid I have too much on as it is! Are the core members already creating a lot of stuff? From past experience, communities only really work when people are already creating a lot and they just want support. If people aren't already creating then you will find a new community won't help. You will end up with one or two doing all the work! Just a friendly warning.

I'd like some details, email in my profile is a good contact point.

That's a better response than I was expecting...at this stage it's myself, Seth Drebitko (from Kobold Enterprises and Microlite fame), and a few other hesitant starters.

Plans are being put into motion, I'll keep everyone informed.

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.
