What's amazing is how all that can be going on and you can still just rp a character doing their own thing and not really taking part in any of it. It adds an unparalleled richness to the entire experience.

            For gamers who aren't in game dev, you should know that we are in one of the worst periods in game dev history in terms of industry stability and the reason you're not seeing that play out through products is because the average development window of games is 3-7 years so it hasn't reached you yet.

            One of the things I am most enjoying about #over/under is that there's nobody to disappoint. You can do what you want and participate as much or as little as you want and there's no sense that you ruined the Warden's extensive prep by going in a different direction than they intended.

            It's been an unproductive year for gamedev. I worked on a game engine for the #playdate but my interest petered out. My current project is liskon, a Z-machine interpreter written in C. This is actually the third stab I've taken at an interpreter, previously writing ones in Python and Rust.

                                            Key art for Lunar Division and Bithell Games' 'The Banished Vault'. The Auriga Vault, an enormous spaceship with a gothic monastery-inspired design, rises up from behind a sun. Smaller ships surround it, and around those, planets and moons of different sizes.

Two much smaller ships wait in front of it to be directed by the player. An annotated lines on the 'board' stretches away from the ships, the start of the route they can take into the solar system.

A large, red, ringed planet is in the centre, with a smaller green-yellow further up. Annotated lines show the routes a ship can take between planets and moons on the map.
The Energy Calculator tool is open, which players can use to work out how much fuel they need for a journey. There are four categories, each corresponding to a set of numbers: Engine Efficiency, Ship Mass, Fuel, and Energy. When the player increases or decreases one section, the rest also increase or decrease accordingly.

Several stylised buildings are placed down on a grid, some with a wooden texture and others with a transparent, glass-like texture. These are completed and in-progress buildings, respectively, on the surface of a planet.
