August 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

This month was largely spent on wrapping up map terrain generation for the new tile style. In retrospect it seems like I mostly spent it burned out, though.<\/p>\n

September 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

At this point me and Sew had got together and started trying to solve a lot of the issues with information presentation in the new map style for the past several months (by which I mean I told Sew how the map worked and he had to sort out my mess). At this point I was finally starting to implement much of it. The main thing was just to start introducing a consistent visual language to the map:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The spaces themselves would be used to indicate what happens when players end their movement on them. The bulk of spaces would be simple blue\/red colors to give the map a cleaner look, while the rarer special spaces would have imagery to indicate what they do.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Objects that “intercept\/interrupt” movement would appear between spaces. Objects that trigger when passing by would appear above spaces.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
We used bubbles to give detailed information about a specific object. The “!” signs indicated something that would happen to you, while the fist signs were attacks you could do to other players.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m actually still pretty happy with most\u00a0<\/em>of the work we did for this map style. If we ever revisit the board game format in a different game we can probably reuse a lot of the work we did here. That’s how I convince myself to sleep at night, anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
