Realized I haven't posted much of this project on this site. It's a very-much-work-in-progress infinite urban walking sim.

So, I get a lot of questions about generating procedural environments, but I was never great with the whole "show your work" thing in school, so let's try something: if you got questions, ask them here and I'll try to answer them* because learning is fun.

*Answers not guaranteed to be interesting.

my game
If Letters Had Pants, Would They Wear Them Like This? What About Numbers? What If They Had Small Shovels And They Dug Stuff Up To Put In A Museum?
is out now on itch io for Windows, MacOS and Linux!

Find words! Give ur letters pants! Make stronger words!

Keeping 128 tiles sound like a good rule to follow, like ascii but its graphical shapes. If ever Id be grateful to see the full set at some point

Mistigram: this iconic moment from #StudioGhibli's 1992 #PorcoRosso was illustrated by Cthulu (easy linework) and LDA (incredible sunset engineer) for last month's #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection. “I'd rather be a pig than a fascist.”

Looking so great \(*u*)/ What is the textmode font you use for the card artworks ?

typo.social/@gdc is working on a huge picture collection of typographic works linked to textmode and for the occasion we started to build a site for browsing it for now available at adelfaure.net/docs/heikki_garden

This week I'm at Lurs festival of graphism and typography. I was kindly invited by post.lurk.org/@julienbidoret to gave a talk. typo.social/@gdc helped me greatly to prepare the historical side of the talk, linking computer textmode with letterpress decorative practices

Mistigram: here we are, #InternationalCatDay and ... I'm late for lunch! Fortunately, @ascii.mozz.us has packed along a little something extra to share. This #ASCIIart illustration was included in the new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

If you're waiting for #STALKER2 don't forget you can still play the original game in the series, S.T.A.C.K.E.R. : Nuclear Scavenger, which fell through a time-space anomaly into 1989: thapen.itch.io/stacker

I just released version 0.7 of A Painted Ocean, a square-rigged sailing simulator. Sail the oceans of the world, in a ship from 1804, with weather from 1980. #gamedev #solodev

Prototyping a game where you grow a tree

The actual map is text characters. I have blurred it slightly because otherwise the bluesky scaling algorithm does horrible things to it. Red is cities, and that's an airport.

I just finished the first pass at a procedural landscape generator for a flying game, Kerosene Thunder. The goal is realistic 1960s landscapes ~1000km across, at 500m resolution. This is a thread about how it works now. #procgen #textmode

Some things I made-

the chungus now encroacheth.

added a coin magnet relic as well because who doesn't like one of those.

The older cards in the series I made over a year ago and I now I want to revisit them and maybe add a second color 🤔

But I also want to make a full major arcana with different games so we'll see

i'm back on my ascii bs ^-^ i made a new addition to my homepage ellesho.me/page – a handy map! i was inspired design-wise by old text-based mud games. now u have another nav option to find your way around the pages easier

and here's a new blog post about it: ellesho.me/page/website...
