Pillars are incredibly helpful to focus your project, and “start with a feeling“ is great advice!
Quote from the Unity article: “Indie team SaltStone Studios used pillars to shape its first game, The Pale Beyond. One of them, Every Decision Has a Face, meant players always saw the character a choice would affect - which went on to shape the game’s systems and character design. The team calls its pillars “probably the main reason our first game was any good at all.” The pillars for The Pale Beyond were the secret sauce to making all the pieces fit together- and in fact are probably the main reason our first game was any good at all. Having the narrative, mechanics, art and audio all referring to the pillars meant that they didn’t compete with each other to muddy the message. In Pale, our first pillar was Every Decision Has a Face, meaning you had to look at the character your choices were affecting every time we asked you to make a choice.

Nuclear grout storage

www.autonocion.com/us/341-miles...
A 375-foot concrete tank in South Carolina, wrapped in 341 miles of cable like a wine barrel, is cleared to take 33 million gallons of nuclear grout that pushes outward as a liquid until it sets into ...
The Saltstone Production Facility mixes that solution with fly ash and slag until it is a cement-like grout. Crews pump the grout into an SDU. It solidifies

New outfit for my warrior inspired me to blaze her through to 80 today, and I gotta say that the darker purple and grey armor really makes the green skintone pop.
A female goblin warrior with red pigtails and purple eyes in World of Warcraft, wearing armor mainly comprised of the Deathguard shoulders, leggings, gloves, and boots, the Saltstone Surcoat chestpiece, and the Wanderer's Rosy scarf, in Dornogal at night looking to stage right.
