The skewing is actually un-skewing the original geometry, because the initial grid works on integer coordinates. So skewing the square grid into a diamond makes the triangles equilateral.

For more detailed info I recommend checking out talks about Townscaper

My algorithm is almost exactly the same as Oskar's, just the initial steps are slightly different. Here is the idea:
- generate a grid of triangulated squares
- collapse N squares into quads
- subdivide each face
- skew all points and round edges a bit
- iteratively relax points

oh very cool, thanks for including me!

it's probably not clear but I meant what feels easy to me, it doesn't mean I don't focus on the product. But for some reason technical problems are easier to solve than game design problems for me

in the discords. straight up "jorking it". and by "it", haha, well. let's justr say. My penger.

If you want to write posts then your own website is the nicest. But youtube devlogs are best in general

I wrote a Patreon post with detailed explanation of my specific implementation if you're interested in more info:

The iteration time is almost the same as with hot reload, but the system is much simpler because you don't have to mess with DLLs.
In Odin the implementation is trivial, like 20 lines of code with the help of CBOR serializer.

single big article for sure
