Made some good progress on the game now that I'm settled into the new apartment. Lots of UI is very work in progress and still working on some basic feedback and quality of life stuff, but here's a few maps and some dialogue to sample some of the game in its current state.

My review of Europa Universalis V is up! This is a game that knows its for sickos and caters to sickos (and aspiring sickos) almost exclusively, but if you're the kind of person who thinks they would enjoy it, I think you'll be pleased. It is a bit underbaked though.

Europa Universalis 5 Review - IGN
Tuning issues aside, this might be the most on-paper impressive historical strategy game of all time.

Just wrote a scene I've been imagining for a year and a half. End of my book is almost in sight. It feels kind of crazy, this will be the first time I actually finish something this big.

Is it just me or does it feel like every mattress warehouse is in a permanent state or "we're going out of business, everything must go." But at all times no matter what, like this one spot feels like it's been going out of business for 2 years
