implemented an action log & connected up the health bar. I don’t want to go overboard with text effects, but:
- combat actions are colour coded
- more important actions (like attacks) are brighter than others (like harvesting)
- older messages are dimmed

(also health bar lag)

Keep away from the mushroom forests and you’re gonna have a great time!

Depending on the foundry, maybe you’d be able to ask for an alternative pricing option? Some type designers will happily make exceptions, and/or distribute their fonts via more accessible platforms like @fontstand.com

yes! this makes me think of Morrowind’s quest directions (“follow the road east past Fort Moonmoth, then cross the bridge over the foyada until you see the ruins on your right”), which is a feeling I’ve long wished more games would capture

I’ve been thinking about this for my own project, specifically with the angle of multiple maps showing different, opinionated ‘facets’ of the actual territory

Like historical T and O maps, Inuit driftwood maps (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammassa...); information relevance over geographical accuracy

worst case areas ~40ms per frame → 15ms

~30% of my render time is now a single “find actors at this location” function call. which feels like a pretty easy win if I can get it running faster
