Took forever to get the rotations working, but this feels like a decent stopping point for now.

Tempted to do an art pass as a break but really next is probably better map generation, more resource/economy stuff, then starting on progression.

from Anna Anthropy's 'Rise of the Videogame Zinesters' (2012)

really enjoyed this; it's part history, part design manifesto, part instruction manual. The first half is a lot of history and a bit dated/overly expository but when she gets into the why and how of making games it remains very relevant

broke 3 toes so I've had some time to start noodling on an idea I've had kicking around for a while. Wicked early obvs but the start of a survival town builder.
