Need to tone down some of these colours, but I love how the fog flows now.
Anyway, I think I'm ready to declare the only good way to subdivide a triangle is what's on the last row there. I passed on it at first because it doesn't perfectly fit my use case, but every other way I found smells like an anti-pattern. Safer to just force my use case to fit into this.

I wrote a piece on it a while back, with a bit from the developer who was chuffed to bits someone remembered and recognised what he was trying to do.

There are 1500 rules in the scripts governing NPC behaviour in a mostly forgotten open-world Amiga/ST/DOS game called The Adventures of Robin Hood. All affected in real-time by 32 characteristics, what you're doing in the game, your reputation, and the changing of the seasons.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago
so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

This is probably basic stuff for more experienced devs, but I'm proud I managed to convert my procedurally generated hex world to use varying vertex density. #gamedev
1 vertex per tile by default, and the option to use more wherever detail is needed. Previously it was always 24 per tile, lol.

it's a bummer how hard it is to get attention right now and how tight folks have to be with fun money because Sektori absolutely deserves to be over 100 Steam reviews by now.
Give it a look if you like Super Stardust, Resogun, and Geometry Wars.

This system works really well when combined with strong layers.
Here the water and dirt are in layer 0, grass layer 1, trees layer 2 and so on.
They stack similar to how they would in 3d.
If you have to render in a single layer, though, there are better autotile systems like the one in RPGMaker.

I've been keeping busy lately helping to develop biketerra.com, a browser-based virtual cycling app. Procedurally-built environments for real-world routes, which users can create for themselves and be ready to ride within seconds. If you have an indoor trainer, check it out!
