when scientists process Boxes, the Boxes will now request to be stored. annoyingly, they can break the Box limit for piles by moving Boxes to the same pile at the same time.

do you think the mushrooms could be used to make chocolate bars? (definitely unbiased question)

the new pathfinding is fully working and should be way faster than the old algorithm. also, the debug view for it is pretty cool.

starting to work on a new pathfinding system. the old system (white lines) made use of some odd strategies involving reading pixels from a tilemap. the new one (red circles) should be much faster, by just pathing between those nodes

i want an infinite zoom version of this! you could even have it zoom into different corners at each level

this gives off a very specific atmosphere, but i can't tell if it's scary or peaceful

i love the style of this! spell building is always cool. this actually reminds me of a mobile game i played, ENYO, with a similar grid system. can't wait to see where this goes!

this looks super cool! it feels like some cursed combination of Tetris and The Oregon Trail

no new features, but some cool debugging! also, it would've crashed without enough boxes before now :)

scientists can now do Science on a box. surprisingly, it doesn't alter the box whatsoever

the scientists now have a better task system, so their tasks can get more complicated. also, they can turn around!
