Spent a few diverting moments today playing with , @doersino's minimalist generative art toy. It has "unlabeled" controls, that encourage you to explore without expectation. Very seamless design and excellent user experience.

Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the shop
The shavings were flying from
Carving non-stop

In case you've been wondering why I've been posting infrequently, I've been in the workshop carving bowls for Christmas presents. #woodcarving

I don't think Jonathon is on the Twitter, but if you have any interest in procedural world generation, go follow his blog. He's doing some interesting stuff!

A map fresh from the generator. There are a few oddball names (Loinpaobtutbeach?) and I had to tweak a few label placements, but overall I think it's pretty interesting. I mean, don't you want to explore Obelisk Rock? 😆 #fantasy #maps #proceduralgeneration #cartography

This map of the Sleria Commonwealth popped up during testing today. I liked the color combinations and thought there was a nice variety of interesting elements on the map. #proceduralgeneration #fantasy #maps #cartography

I'm working on coastlines and something ... unusual ... happened here. I'm not sure what, but it's kind of an interesting effect. #fantasy #maps #cartography #proceduralaberration

In my last post on continent-sized maps I noted the weather model didn't work very well. In my latest post I start rewriting the winds model. The big effort is to switch it over to run on hexes, which I mostly steal from @redblobgames.
