Also tweaked the spruce leaves texture a bit. It's probably not the final look, but feels like a step in the right direction - I never liked how flat it looked.

Here's a before/after:

Computer graphics community must be so weird to outsiders. Everybody is just posting literally the same image of the same scene, and everyone else is congratulating them

@sinbad Awwww :3
We have two 6-month-old chaotic stray voids who love doing the same

@sinbad I did an overwhelming 14 last year, and 9 this year of which 6 are part of a series (which I guess counts as separate articles?), though I'm planning to still have one or two more by the end of the year

I've noticed that I have much less energy and fewer ideas on what to write this year, though

@sinbad Wdym, how did you draw such awesome wizards then

Modeled a few more degenerate-ish variants, all seem to fit the current idea (of having 7 small tiles and generating large hex tiles from them with smoothed normals).

@sinbad @Doomed_Daniel That perlin noise on the background tho

@julesh What do you mean by "closure" here? Like being closed under some operations, or closure operators like monads, or something else?

@SmallisBeautiful @sinbad I see, thanks! Yep, that's a big deal.

@sinbad What does "destructive" mean in this context?

@julesh Oh wow, thanks!

@julesh What do you mean?

@sinbad I have a bunch of ideas of multiplayer games (both co-op and competitive) that I'd love to make some day, but the complexity inherent to multiplayer makes me horrified

I've found a fun way of generating simple tree bark textures in GIMP! First, fill the image with [Filters > Render > Noise > Cell noise], then scale it along the Y axis (I used 2x scaling).

My first ever Steam game - Costa Verde Transport Department, a cozy traffic simulator - is OUT ON STEAM RIGHT NOW!

Thanks to everyone for the enormous support. Many things went wrong during the development process, but at least I learnt a lot and managed to release a game :)
