After effects of Apocalypse



It's now been over a month since the fall of G+, and it's been 3 months since I've shifted a lot of my life's focus to my new role as a teacher... Here at the blog it's been a bit apocalyptic, a complete change of paradigm, I may not be posting as much, but when I have posted I've tried to actively share to a few places. This means that instead of automatically posting and getting responses on G+, I've had to manually share to Vulpinoid Studios groups on Facebook and MeWe, as well as personal accounts on Pluspora, MeWe, Facebook, and anywhere else that I remember I've got a presence. Posts have been shared to other game design groups too...


...but I'm back to getting silence and crickets on most of my posts, and occasionally a single comment on other posts. So I'm doing exponentially more work per post, and getting back exponentially less response. I don't want to spam people with more shares, but I'm wondering about the best way to move forward.

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.
