Hexmap in Progress III - Complete!

Here's the final result for my latest randomly generated hexmap. Terrain-wise, I'm pretty happy with how this looks for a five-mile per hex map. The ocean terrain is still a bit fjord-like, but as I said before, I'm OK with an emphasis on land as opposed to water.

Homicide - Loose Ends

I'm starting to feel like this game has gotten a bit sloppy, so I'm going to do some bookkeeping and clean up and organize things a bit. There are a bunch of open threads, some of which may be irrelevant or easily closed off, and I want to be sure the main summary page is up to date.

Hexmap in Progress - Part II

I've done some additional map generation on this map, after tweaking the tables a bit more. I really need to sit down and rebuild the special sites tables to cover civilized vs. uncivilized lands. I also need to remember to follow my own rules, as I sometimes forget to check for special features in a hex, leaving me with too much blank space.

Island Forge Goes Live

Nyhm, the developer of Island Forge, dropped me a note to announce the game's full launch today. I wrote a couple of articles about the game a while back, and really do need to finish off that island I've been working on!

Anyhow, you can read the full announcement from the developer right here.

Diablo 3 - Worst. Armor. Ever.

Seriously. I get the whole, different looks for different people, but tell me please, who the heck wants to look like this? Unless demons have nightmares about clowns in the closet, this is about the worst design I've seen.

Hexmap in Progress

This is another iteration of my hexmap random generator project. I decided to throw this out as a work in progress, so you can see how things have been working out. This map is about a third-done, and I've changed up the process I'm using a bit.
