Procedural generation is cool because it can produce fun things that surprise even yourself

I underestimated the complexity in building this, but it was a fun challenge and I'm really happy with the result so far! Shout out to FTL for the inspiration.

It's not in the public build yet, but it will be soon! cinderousworks.itch.io/data-decay

The citadel (watch your step!) #pixelart
In a red flaming world, you look up at an imposing ziggurat built upon a floating piece of rock with tendrils cascading down. Above the ziggurat is a moon casting pink light downwards. The approach is a winding staircase of floating rock. In the foreground, a bee is flying around some strange flowers.

Between changing the clutch in my miata and building out this card editor, it's been a busy week! Excited to share a little bit of progress as we lay the groundwork for a project I'm really excited for.

Now that things have quieted down (and I've got some sleep!) from the #godotwildjam... We're getting awesome feedback and we've decided to rebuild this with everything we originally envisioned for it and put it out on Steam! Stay tuned for updates!

What a whirlwind this #godotwildjam has been. A pivot starting this morning has been a ton of work but seems to be paying off! More identity to stocks, more cards, polish and some other near features
