Yeah, that’s the roughest part about creating anything, haha. But it’s one more data point to learn from.

Yeah, I think that’s the best course (if you’d play it, it beats trying to guess what some hypothetical player would), but you’re talking to a guy who usually gets hired on to pitch projects, so slightly different beast.

You forgot the secret third thing: unmarketable *and* boring.

That aside, I think you’re pretty much always better off risking alienating some players but connecting with an audience via something bizarre than pulling your punches. For all you know, that bizarre thing is the new safe.

That’s kind of what I was hacking at. I was actually experimenting with methods to fallback on individual tile adjacency rules when the pattern method got stuck. I got them to work with each other, but it didn’t significantly reduce getting stuck in practice.

Thanks!

That is a dangerously tempting rabbit hole to go down...

Okay, you win.

I have done my best to hide my sins.

I have! I can't say I'm any expert, but my "unpaid-other-dayjob" is in bike/pedestrian advocacy, so I've gotten a cursory familiarity.

Thanks! It's all texture. Completely unlit model.

I admire your optimism.

Thanks!
