I fixed the map so it crosses the Pacific Ocean properly.

The flight paths now also generally follow great circles. I wonder if it would be better to use *actual* flight corridors instead of direct lines, or if it's potentally confusing for a conceptual map.. #trailmarks #gamedev

"Slop" is just what we now call the work of happy amateurs and hobbyists. It's the opposite of polished corporate products, which is not slop. Prove me wrong.

Do what you love, and you will never work a day in your life. At least until it's time to do the marketing part.

Adding animated clouds to Trailmarks. This turned out better than I expected tbh. (Video has the clouds sped up 20x).

Let us be the first to clarify: We did not suddenly start making Walking Dead brawlers. This is someone else.

(Should we have made a travel + trivia + zombie brawler game? Maybe that would be something like the final piece of the puzzle.)

Working on translations for Trailmarks and I got to say I feel Cyrillic gives itself naturally to the feel of this game

So the last week I've been in Borneo promoting Trailmarks and I just love saying I'm in Borneo. It just sounds like the ultimate of adventure to me.

Anyways, here's a video of a 3m long salt water crocodile we met in the river at night. #travel

Really hard to watch and extremely grating how many are booing and how it's allowed to go on. Gives flashbacks to the nazi speeches on Australia Day.

Can say a lot about the US, but I certainly didn't feel I needed to hide at home on 4th of July or Veteran's Day.
