Fonts and Cards and Other Stuff

I haven't posted much this week, because I've been focusing on a few ideas that have taken quite a bit of my time (and a detour to hospital with Leah took a sizable chunk of my attention as well). Generally, I've been busy, it's been a productive week...just not here at the blog.

I've been busy programming with Ren'Py, trying to get this "Rentpunk" game working and looking right (even though the deadline has well and truly expired). I've been drawing new images for the game, and toying with some other concepts.

The fonts I alluded to earlier, for easy and modular dungeon design, have been designed. Not quite exactly as I'd intended, but good in a different way. I can't upload them due to crappy internet connection at the moment.

Hopefully some good news coming soon.

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.
