Final day of #Blocktober, so here's a blockout inspired by the Belgian town Dinant and the battle that took place there during WW1. It's been a fun challenge to translate the area's unique features, like the citadel on the cliffs, to gameplay.

I too have decided to join the fun here. Twitter has been a great place to follow game deva but I've become more and more conflicted about supporting it so I hope to follow along with what cool things everyone is up to over here!
