If I had been a little more pragmatic, I would never have been involved in game development.

Swallow chicks are dying of starvation due to sudden climate change. They simply lie down, exhausted, on the river bank and soon die. It is almost impossible to save them.

@AlexGoodwinDev I'm keeping my fingers crossed and waiting for the release on Nintendo 🙏

Imagine yourself as the leader of a settlement. You have the power to issue commands and make sweeping decisions, but the outcomes are not entirely in your hands. Your environment will judge whether you and your descendants are worthy of survival.

Globlal map generation experiments and painted reference.
It seems that finding a suitable visual straight from the head and transferring it into the stylized game takes much more time than writing any mechanics. 😓

@hot_girl_spring Yes, this can be done, do adequate developers do this? No.

While I was writing all sorts of algorithms for myself (mostly adapting from smarter people), I decided to start putting them into plugins. Maybe it will be useful to someone

I've been thinking about AI for the past few days and it seems like I'm going to have something in between Utility AI and GOAP. For now, I'm outlining the architecture with block diagrams and sometimes finalizing the scene to MVP. Here are some birches, for example.

The last few days I've been thinking more than doing. The conclusions from my thoughts have changed my plans. Well, at least you can enjoy these trees. Inspired by Dorfromantik.

@jasminericegirl @Delta First world problems? When the wheels of my suitcase were uprooted in Istanbul, I said, well… That’s the whole story, lol.

@CodeRed_dev The hardest thing is to stop looking at what you just did. When my alpacas started walking with animations, I spent half my working day just watching 😭

@DevRelCallum I think it is better to play a simpler game (something like Dungeoneer, which doesn't require a master) at first, and then, if he likes it, try D&D.
