Playing some great games of late. Finally got around to Promise Mascot Agency from @abki.bsky.social & co at @kaizengameworks.com. What an absolute gem of a game, I would die for Kaki-Gory.

This afternoon I’ve played through Expelled, another fun adventure from @inkle.co.

And now I’m onto Öoo.

I worked on the landscape fertility map & how forests spread and grown. Yes, seeds fell from trees & grew depending on where they fell

Early days of

One of the first things I did was add a villager behaviour so they'd go to the cathedral under the guidance of
