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...

Each describing some aspect of the game that either fell flat or just didn't gel right in play. Such as maybe giving each player a single move to speed things up (rather than the current 2 move structure)...suggesting to increase the icon size on cards (so they are more easily readable across the table)...adjusting font to something more legible (especially given the font size on the cards). There were a few mechanism feedback ideas as well, comparing the gameplay to existing products on the market.
This degree of critique is what I think most game designers crave.
But generally, any feedback is good feedback. I don't care what form it comes in.
