In the next version of Liikennematto, it's easier to keep lots when making changes to connected roads. I've added 19 new lot entry tiles to accommodate all possible configurations of nearby roads. You can now, for example, create a cute cul-de-sac!

This week I've been gathering feedback from colleagues, the #elmlang community, and my son to polish the gameplay experience. The rest of you can play this version soon!

Lot animations in #Liikennematto might look something like this! 🔜
I'm also toying with the idea of buildings literally "falling into place". Let's see how that turns out.

The #Liikennematto procgen overhaul is getting to the point where I'm tweaking new assets and fixing bugs. I want to improve (and add) animations and sounds before I ship, but the foundation is now complete!

Finland is both the "land of a thousand lakes" and my home country, so it was inevitable that #Liikennematto would have a lake "lot". Included in the next release.

My baby’s on display. The OG baby next to it is a bit worn out by comparison (it’s 20 yrs old).

Been drawing with my 4yo kid a lot lately. Today we drew some action-packed landscapes with a pencil. I am especially fond of his fearsome dragon!

#Liikennematto crossed a very modest but important threshold: 2000 browser plays on @itch.io!
Hoping to ship a major update in the spring. Meanwhile you can play it in the browser today!

Working at snail's pace, I've cleaned up and coloured in the assets. Keen-eyed folks may notice that the new tree assets have changed slightly. Turns out I drew the first batch with 0.5mm ink instead of 0.3mm like the first three trees. So I redrew the new trees and repeated the process. Ah well.
