May your hand ever be steady and your aim true!

Sounds divine!
Can you say something about what you *are* doing? (career transition in full swing over here)

With some distance from the project now, I'm thinking I'd do it differently.
Are you looking for ways to simplify sprite making so they're easier to manipulate /integrate? Or are there other reasons for generating rather than drawing a sprite (other than lack of ppl power and time/resources? :)

I'm coming at this from drawing stuff in Inkscape and Aseprite, so when you say "generated" I'm assuming "created by a function in the program". Right?
My map making work for OpJuno was all about visuals & idea "background will be stitched 1944 aerial photos" that *everything else* got buried.

What program are you using to make the sprites?

Short form text? :)
I'd love to bring back salons and discussion cafés in person.
Thanks for reading if you made it this far <3 JMak.

So there's no incentive for studios to produce high quality, just well marketed volume. There's only one Journey, but how many GTA titles?
Furthermore, we're sharing fewer experiences with ppl in our communities so how do we process a significant cultural experience like a good game, book or movie?

Seen it in my kids and myself - immediately after an experience, I want more. The next episode, book, title. The internet makes this possible at the sacrifice of digesting the ideas and experiences, leading to superficial engagement and a proliferation of low quality content for the sake of profit.

Maybe ppl buy the hype. Maybe it's because you can have 2 of fast, cheap or good and AAA studios don't want cheap and must have fast. Maybe players are too quick to go after the next entertaining thing and don't care about quality - minds are getting obese and undernourished.

Buddhist Right Speech would likely agree w/Cato.

V much this. It's like dressing up for the party and then having absolutely nothing to say.
OTOH, my own approach tends to overload on the details and I get lost in the beautiful forest, looking at all the pretty trees.. 🦋🎋

Ah, good luck with it, I hope things grow for you! We're lucky in that there's a large hobby and gaming store with long standing in the community so we were able to generate interest just by showing up and holding weekly games.

ALPHA Strike will be played with the rules that allow for modification of existing hex based maps bc cba to re-create the maps. Too much effort, no pay, little return in other forms.
