Proper wayfinding in games feels underused. Just played the Map Map demo by @pipapogames.bsky.social and it was lotsa fun! Besides Miasmata, I can't think of any games that put wayfinding (without player position on a map) central to the experience. Curious if many people enjoy this as much as I do?

Hi everyone! It’s great to see so many old and new friends here.
Never have I been very active on social media, but I’m eager to change that in the coming months. I’ll be sharing some personal design practices, theories, and the (hard-learned) lessons I’ve picked up throughout my career.
Stay tuned!
